Flash point
Administrative data
Link to relevant study record(s)
- Endpoint:
- flash point of flammable liquids
- Type of information:
- experimental study
- Adequacy of study:
- key study
- Reliability:
- 1 (reliable without restriction)
- Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
- guideline study
- Qualifier:
- according to guideline
- Guideline:
- ASTM D93 (Standard test methods for flash point by pensky-martens closed cup tester)
- GLP compliance:
- yes (incl. QA statement)
- Type of method:
- closed cup
- Flash point apparatus:
- Pensky-Martens apparatus
- Key result
- Flash point:
- > 230 °C
- Atm. press.:
- 102.8 kPa
- Interpretation of results:
- GHS criteria not met
- Conclusions:
- No flash point was detected below 230 °C, the onset of boiling. The test substance is not classified as a flammable liquid.
- Executive summary:
The flashpoint of the substance was studied in accordance with the standard ASTM D93 under GLP in a reliable and valid test. Approximately 70 mL of the test substance was placed in a test cup closed by a lid and heated at a specified rate with stirring. At 1 °C increments a small test flame was automatically introduced into the vapour space above the liquid through a temporary opening in the lid. A thermocouple was suspended in the vapour space to observe if a flash occurs indicating that the vapour concentration above the liquid has reached a level sufficient to be ignited by the test flame. Two flash point tests were conducted in the temperature range from 27 - 230 °C and 26 - 230 °C at an atmospheric pressure of 102.8 kPa. No flash was detected in the two independent tests. No flash point was determined up to a temperature of 230 °C, the onset of boiling.
Reference
Testing was terminated at 230 °C when the sample temperature stopped increasing. On removing the test cup lid, the test sample was observed to be boiling.
Description of key information
The flash point of the substance has been determined in a reliable and valid study in accordance with ASTM D93 (Standard test methods for flash point by Pensky-Martens closed cup tester) under GLP.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
Additional information
The flash point was >230 °C at atmospheric pressure.
