Key result

Auto-ignition temperature:

375 °C

Atm. press.:

997.4 mBar

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 above 300 °C).

The following lowest values were recorded:

Lowest Values Main Test

Experiment                                   Value                                   Ignition delay                       Drops used

First test series                            379.81 °C                            32 s                                          9

Second test series                       385.24 °C                            31 s                                          5

Third test series                           384.82 °C                            32 s                                          5

The lowest value of the auto ignition temperature is 397.81 °C. This value was determined using 9 drops of test substance. The test substance showed auto ignition after 32 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 375 °C.

The three lowest values of the main study lay within a range of 10 K (as required for auto ignition temperatures above 300°C)

Conclusions:
