   No. It's the temperature at which the liquid evaporates gases that   
   will ignite. You heat a small sample with the crucible vent being   
   next to a tiny pilot. When it goes "puff" you write down the   
   temperature of the boiler.   
      
   You can incite combustion other ways, such as spraying into   
   droplets, etc.
