- 402 °C
- Atm. press.:
- 1 013.25 hPa
Any other information on results incl. tables
| Testrun no. | lowest temperature [°C] | quantity of sample [ml] | ignition delay time [s] |
| 1st test series | 414 | 0.09 | 37 |
| 2nd test series | 415 | 0.09 | 34 |
| 3rd test series | 415 | 0.09 | 33 |
The tests were performed at an atmospheric pressure of 1000 mbar - 1009 mbar.
From these test runs a corrected* minimum ignition temperature of 402 °C results.
* Correction performed according to DIN EN 1S0/IEC 80079-20-1 .
Applicant's summary and conclusion
Information on Registered Substances comes from registration dossiers which have been assigned a registration number. The assignment of a registration number does however not guarantee that the information in the dossier is correct or that the dossier is compliant with Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 (the REACH Regulation). This information has not been reviewed or verified by the Agency or any other authority. The content is subject to change without prior notice.
