The autoignition temperature (AIT) of a material is the lowest temperature at which the material will spontaneously ignite. The AIT is important index for the safe handling of flammable liquids which constitute the solvent mixtures. This study measured the AITs of n-Decane+sec-Butanol system by using ASTM E659 apparatus. The AITs of n-Decane and sec-Butanol which constituted binary system were $212^{\circ}C$ and $447^{\circ}C$, respectively. The experimental AITs of n-Decane+sec-Butanol system were a good agreement with the calculated AITs by the proposed equations with a few A.A.D. (average absolute deviation).
