Test Objective and Information
The test covers the determination of hot and cool flame autoignition temperatures of a liquid chemical in air at atmospheric pressure in a uniformly heated vessel.
A small, metered sample of the product to be tested is inserted into a uniformly heated 500 ml glass flask containing air at a predetermined temperature. The contents of the flask are observed in a dark environment for 10 minutes following insertion of the sample, or until autoignition occurs. Autoignition is identified by the sudden appearance of a flame inside the flask and by a sharp rise in the temperature of the gas mixture. The lowest internal flask temperature at which the hot-flame ignition occurred for a series of prescribed sample volumes is taken to be the hot-flame autoignition (AIT) of the chemical in air at atmospheric pressure. Ignition delay times (ignition time lags) are measured in order to determine the ignition delay / ignition temperature relationship. The lowest temperature at which cool flames (CFT) are observed is also recorded. In all instances the ignition delay times are recorded.
The test is conducted in accordance with the procedure described in EU Regulation (EC) 440/2008, Annex Part A test A.15.
The autoignition temperature of 2,2'-MDI (EC Number: 219-799-4) has been determined to be 515°C.
Hot flame autoignition temperature (AIT,C): 515
Including correction factor for barometric pressure (°C): 515Time lag to autoignition (s): 26
Barometric pressure (kPa): 98.7
Test Item quantity (μl): 200
Relative Humidity (%): 47Comments
No cool flames were observed. Ignition produced an orange flame.
