Reference
Endpoint:
auto-ignition temperature (liquids)
Type of information:
experimental study
Adequacy of study:
key study
Study period:
2022
Reliability:
2 (reliable with restrictions)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
other: Non-GLP study conducted following ASTM guideline E659
Qualifier:
according to guideline
Guideline:
other: ASTM E659
Principles of method if other than guideline:
ASTM E659 - 78(2005) Standard Test Method for Autoignition Temperature of Liquid Chemicals

The test procedure employs a 500 ml flask that is uniformly heated in a special
purpose furnace. A fine thermocouple in the flask is used to monitor
temperature changes that occur upon injection of a small quantity
of fuel into the flask. The test temperature is progressively lowered
until ignition does not occur within 10 minutes at any fuel concentration.
GLP compliance:
no
Key result
Auto-ignition temperature:
ca. 278 °C
Atm. press.:
ca. 745 mm Hg
Conclusions:
The Self Ignition temperature was determined to be 278 °C.
Executive summary:

Auto ignition temperature was measured according to ASTM E659 - 78(2005) Standard Test Method for Autoignition Temperature of Liquid Chemicals and was determined to be approximately 278 °C
