Auto-ignition temperature test substance

The table below lists the results of the different test series. A negative sign (-) means no ignition and a positive sign (+) means ignition. In case of ignition the time in seconds between injection and ignition is mentioned between brackets. The bold temperature values in the table are the minimum ignition temperatures of the different test series.

Minimum ignition temperatures of the test series:

series 1: 228°C

series 2: 222°C

series 3: 222°C

This means that the auto-ignition temperature of the test substance is 220°C.

Conclusions:
The auto-ignition temperature of decanoyl chloride is 220°C.
Executive summary:
