Flammability Limits Analyzer

Estimate gas-mixture flammability limits, limiting oxygen concentration and fuel–oxygen–inert envelopes, with optional mechanism-based explosion limits

Open in the appRun via API

Hardware and price

Price per run

What a typical run reserves from your wallet: the catalog's expected runtime on each piece of hardware × your plan's per-second rate. Larger inputs reserve more, and you're charged only for the seconds the job actually runs.

Run via API

Submit it from your own code.

Use an API key from your account. The estimate uses your plan's rates; submitting reserves that amount from your wallet.

# Estimate the reservation for your plan (payload fields: see the API reference)
curl -X POST https://api.cognichem.com/api/v1/jobs/estimate \
  -H "X-Api-Key: $COGNICHEM_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"job_type": "flammability-limits", "resource": "cpu", "payload": {}}'

# Submit (retrying with the same Idempotency-Key never submits twice)
curl -X POST https://api.cognichem.com/api/v1/jobs/submit \
  -H "X-Api-Key: $COGNICHEM_API_KEY" \
  -H "Idempotency-Key: $(uuidgen)" \
