- Type of method:
- closed cup
- Flash point apparatus:
- Pensky-Martens apparatus
- Key result
- Flash point:
- 62 °C
- Atm. press.:
- 101.3 kPa
- Interpretation of results:
- GHS criteria not met
- Conclusions:
- The flash point of the test item was determined to be 62 °C at 101.3 kPa.
- Executive summary:
The flash point of the test item was determined in an experimental study according to Regulation EC No 440/2008 Method A.9 using the closed cup method with a Pensky-Martens apparatus. The flash point was determined to be 62 °C at 101.3 kPa. Therefore the test item has not to be classified as flammable liquid.
Reference
The flash point of n-Dodecane was determined to be 79.4 °C, being very close to the value reported in the literature (78.6 °C, ASTM D7094).
In the course of the study three subsequent tests with the test item were carried out. The measured flash point of the test item were: 62.4 °C, 60.4 °C and 62.4 °C, resulting in a mean value: 62 °C at 101.3 kPa.
The repeatability criterion was met because the maximum difference between replicate determinations was not more than 2 °C.
Description of key information
The flash point of the test item was determined to be 62 °C at 101.3 kPa.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- Flash point at 101 325 Pa:
- 62 °C
Additional information
The flash point of the test item was determined in an experimental study according to Regulation EC No 440/2008 Method A.9 using the closed cup method with a Pensky-Martens apparatus. The flash point was determined to be 62 °C at 101.3 kPa. Therefore the test item has not to be classified as flammable liquid.
