Results

Preliminary test

The results of the pre-test with the search program are summarised in the following table.

The result “ignition” is indicated by + and “no ignition” by -.

In the preliminary test the lowest temperature where an ignition was observed was 96.0 °C.

 

Main test

The test results of the main test are presented in the following table. An ignition is indicated by + and no ignition by -.

In the main test the lowest temperature where an ignition was observed was 92.0 °C. The mean measured flash point is corrected to the ambient pressure to be 93.08 °C. The resulting average corrected flash point rounded down to the nearest multiple of 0.5 °C is 93.0 °C. The measured flash point of 92 °C was slightly outside the measuring range (-30 °C to +70 °C) of the Abel method. Due to the fact that the measured values are constant and the used equipment works properly up to 110 °C, the values are acceptable.

 

Final Results

The test item has a flash point of 93.0 °C (corrected and rounded down to the nearest multiple of 0.5 °C) according to Regulation EC No. 440/2008 Method A.9. Flash Point, DIN EN ISO 13736 (2013).

Conclusions:
A flash point value of 93.0 °C (at 1013 hPa) was determined for the test substance according to EU Method A.9.
