Flash point
| OELCHECK test instrument: | Setaflash test device according to Pensky Martens (closed pot) Cleveland Automatic NCL 440 Grabner mini flash with sample changer |
| Sample quantity: | flash point, open: 100 ml flash point, closed: 30 ml |
| Unit: | °C |
| Test result: | flash point |
| Result range: | flash point, open: 20 - 400°C flash point, closed: 30 - 300°C |
| Analysis for: | heat transfer oils, engine oils, fuels |
| Brief description: | The flash point is the temperature at which so much highly flammable steam develops in a pot from the liquid to be tested that it could be momentarily ignited by an external ignition. Measurement methods and devices vary depending on oil type and the expected flash point. |
| Statement: | The flash point of engine oils decreases when fuel enters. This is the key criterion for the flammability of combustible liquids. The breakdown of combustible liquids into various hazard classes is based on the flash point. |
| Underlying test standard: | flash point, open: flash point, closed: |
