flash point of flammable liquids
Type of information:
experimental study
Adequacy of study:
key study
Study period:
2004.02.03-2004.02.20
Reliability:
2 (reliable with restrictions)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
other: Basic data given obtained in experiment performed according to appropriate standards (ISO 2719); no GLP
Qualifier:
according to guideline
Guideline:
ISO 2719 (Determination of flash point - Pensky-Martens closed cup method)
Version / remarks:
2002
GLP compliance:
no
Type of method:
non-equilibrium method closed cup
Flash point:
ca. 123.5 °C
Atm. press.:
ca. 101.9 kPa
Flash point:
ca. 125.5 °C
Atm. press.:
ca. 103 kPa

Two determinations of of the flash point have been performed and the mean value of 124.5 °C has been reported (at pressure ~102.45 kPa).

Conclusions:
The flash point of the test substance 3-Mercaptopropionsäure has been determined to be 124.5 °C (at pressure ~102.45 kPa).
Executive summary:

The test material 3-Mercaptopropionsäure has been determined to have a flash point 124.5 °C (at pressure ~102.45 kPa) by using Pensky-Martens closed cup method according to method DIN EN ISO 2719:2002 (Determination of flash point - Pensky-Martens closed cup method).

Description of key information

Flash point: ca. 124.5 °C (at pressure ~102.45 kPa).

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Flash point at 101 325 Pa:
123 °C

Additional information

The study performed in experimental laboratory (Petersen, 2004, UNA), dedicated to estimate the flash point of the test material 3 -Mercaptopropionsäure, has been chosen as a key study. The flash point has been determined to be 124.5 °C (mean value from two determinations at pressure ~102.45 kPa) by using Pensky-Martens closed cup method according to method DIN EN ISO 2719:2002 (Determination of flash point - Pensky-Martens closed cup method).

The other available supporting study (Rampy, 1973, Dow) reports the flash point to be greater than 98.33 °C. The information given in supporting study qualitatively supports the key study.
