Key result

Auto-ignition temperature:

355 °C

Atm. press.:

98 600 Pa

The requirements for repeatability of the DIN standard are stated as follows: Three lowest values of the main study have to lie within a range of 10 K (if auto ignition temperature is below 300 °C) respectively 20 K (if auto-ignition temperature is above 300 °C).

The following lowest values were recorded:

Experiment	Value
First Test Series	367 °C
Determination of Lowest Value	358.5 °C
Repetition	365 °C

The lowest value of the auto-ignition temperature is 358.5 °C. This value was determined using 20 drops test item. The test item showed auto-ignition after 8 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 355 °C. The three lowest values of the main study lay within a range of 20 K (as required for auto-ignition temperatures above 300 °C).

Conclusions:

The auto-ignition temperature was determined to be 355 °C under the test conditions.

Executive summary:

The study was conducted according to procedure and demands of EU-Method A. 15 and DIN 51794. The lowest value of the auto-ignition temperature is 358.5 °C. This value was determined using 20 drops test item. The test item showed auto ignition after 8 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 355 °C.

Description of key information

An auto-ignition temperature of 355 °C at 98600 Pa was determined in accordance with EU-Method A.15 and DIN 51794.
