This test method ...
  • FLASH POINT BY MCCFP TESTER: D7094 FLASH POINT BY MCCFP TESTER: D7094EXPLANATIONThe flash point measurement is one measure of the tendency of the test specimen to form a flammable mixture with air under controlled laboratory conditions. Flash point is used in shipping and safety regulations to define flammable and combustible materials ...
  • FLASH POINT BY CLEVELAND OPEN CUP: D92 FLASH POINT BY CLEVELAND OPEN CUP: D92(Equivalent Test Methods: IP 36, ISO 2592, DIN 51376, JIS K 2265, and AFNOR T60-118)EXPLANATIONThis test method covers the determination of the flash and fire point of all petroleum products except fuel oils and those having an open cup flash <175° F (79° C).TEST ...
  • FLASH POINT BY CONTINUOUSLY CLOSED CUP TESTER (CCFP): D6450 FLASH POINT BY CONTINUOUSLY CLOSED CUP TESTER (CCFP): D6450EXPLANATIONThis test method covers the determination of the flash point of fuel oils, lube oils, solvents, and other liquids by a continuously closed cup tester. The measurement is made on a test specimen of 1 mL. This test method utilizes a ...
  • FLASH POINT FLASH POINTGENERALThe lowest temperature corrected to a barometric pressure of 101.3 kPa (760 mmHg), at which application of a test flame causes the vapor of a sample to ignite under specified test conditions. The sample is deemed to have flashed when a large flame appears and instantaneously propagates ...
