- Type of method:
- equilibrium method closed cup
- Remarks:
- Setaflash
- Key result
- Flash point:
- 51 °C
- Atm. press.:
- ca. 1 atm
- Conclusions:
- The flash point of substance D-LIMONENE is 51°C.
- Executive summary:
The flash point was determined with a closed cup tester by an equilibrium method "Small Scale", commonly known as Setaflash where the vapours are deemed to be in temperature equilibrium with the liquid. The study was based on the procedures indicated by the following internationally accepted methods:
- ASTM D 3828 -97: Standard Test Methods for Flash Point by Small Scale Closed Tester.
- EU method Part A, A.9
Two measurements were performed.
The flash point of the substnace D-LIMONENE has been measured as 51°C.

- Reliability:
- 4 (not assignable)
- Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
- secondary literature
- Reason / purpose for cross-reference:
- reference to same study
- Reason / purpose for cross-reference:

- Principles of method if other than guideline:
- Method followed unknown, data from handbook
- GLP compliance:
- not specified
- Flash point:
- 48 °C
- Conclusions:
- The flash point of d-limonene is 48°C.
- Executive summary:
The flash point of d-limonene was reported in The Dictionary of Substances and Their Effects as being 48°C.

- Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
- secondary literature
- Reason / purpose for cross-reference:
- reference to same study
- Reason / purpose for cross-reference:
- reference to other study
- Principles of method if other than guideline:
- Data from secondary literature : no information about method

- The reported flash point temperature of l-limonene was 48°C.
- Executive summary:
The flash point temperature of l-limonene was reported to be 48°C in the Priority Existing Chemical Assessment Report No. 22 of the National Industrial Chemicals Notification and Assessment Scheme (NICNAS).
Referenceopen allclose all
The measured values for the reference substances were:
Flash point of butanol: 36.0°C and 36.0°C
Flash point of N,N dimethylformamide: 58.1°C and 59.0°C
Flash point of Setaflash Certified Material 99878 -3: 74.3°C and 75.0°C
The measured values for the test item were : 51.3 °C and 51.1 °C.
According to the Standard Test Method ASTM D 3828 -97 the precision of the method is for a flash point of 149°C as follow:
Repeatability: 2.0°C
Reproductibility: 7.5°C
None
Description of key information
The flash point of D-LIMONENE is 51°C.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- Flash point at 101 325 Pa:
- 51 °C
Additional information
The flash point of D-LIMONENE was determined in a study performed according to ASTM D 3828-97 method and EU method A.9.
The value was considered with a reliability of 2 (reliable with restrictions) because the result is scientifically acceptable but not obtained under GLP and some details were lacking in the report. However the measured flash point is valid for key value and is supported by similar data from secondary literature.
