*The selected temperature was suggested automatically by the instrument.

 

The ignition trials were conducted on 08. Aug. 2018.

Atmospheric pressure during the test was 996.7 mbar.

Lowest value of the first test series is 378.38 °C, using 5 drops at an ignition delay of 16 seconds.

Conclusions:
The requirements for repeatability of the DIN standard are stated as follows: Three lowest values of the main test have to lie within a range of 10 K (if auto ignition temperature is above 300 °C).
The lowest value of the auto ignition temperature is 373.08 °C. This value was determined using 9 drops test item. The test item showed auto ignition after 36 seconds.
The auto ignition temperature (result of determination) is the lowest value from the lowest values of the three experiments, rounded down to a whole multiple of 5 °C. Therefore, the auto ignition temperature is stated as 370 °C.
Executive summary:

Determination of the auto ignition temperature of LUMULSE GMT-K according to EU A.15

 

Findings and Results:

The auto ignition temperature was determined in three independent determinations. A lowest value of the main test of 373.08 °C was found.

Therefore, the auto-ignition temperature according to EU A.15 (rounded down to a whole multiple of 5 °C) of LUMULSE GMT-K is stated as: 370 °C.

Description of key information

The auto-ignition temperature of LUMULSE GMT-K is stated as: 370 °C.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Autoflammability / Self-ignition temperature at 101 325 Pa:
370 °C

Additional information

The auto ignition temperature was determined in three independent determinations. A lowest value of the main test of 373.08 °C was found.

Therefore, the auto-ignition temperature according to EU A.15 (rounded down to a whole multiple of 5 °C) of LUMULSE GMT-K is stated as: 370 °C.
