ASTM D56 for flash point by Tag closed cup tester
13. Report13.1 Correction for barometric pressure. Observe and record the ambient barometric pressure at the time and place of the test. When the pressure differs from 101.3 kPa (760 mm Hg), correct the flash point as follows:Corrected flash point = C + 0.25 (101.3 - p)Corrected flash point = F + 0.06 ...

9. Procedure (Manual)9.1 Using a graduated cylinder and taking care to avoid wetting the cup above the final liquid level, measure 50 more or less 0.5 mL of the sample into the cup, both the sample and graduated cylinder being precooled, when necessary, so that the specimen temperature at the time of ...

ASTM D56 for flash point by Tag closed cup tester
4. Summary of Test Method4.1 The specimen is placed in the cup of the tester and, with the lid closed, heated at a slow constant rate. An ignition source is directed into the cup at regular intervals. The flash point is taken as the lowest temperature at which application of the ignition source causes ...

ASTM D56 for flash point by Tag closed cup tester
1. Scope1.1 This test method covers the determination of the flash point, by tag manual and automated closed testers, of liquids with a viscosity below 5.5 mm2/s (cSt) at 40°C (104°F), or below 9.5 mm2/s (cSt) at 25°C (77°F), and a flash point below 93°C (200°F).1.1.1 For the closed-cup flash point ...

ASTM D56 for flash point by Tag closed cup tester
Introduction To ensure an acceptable precision, this dynamic flash point test method employs a prescribed rate of temperature rise for the material under test. The rate of heating may not in all cases give the precision quoted in the test method because of the low thermal conductivity of certain materials. ...
