- Pensky-Martens apparatus
- Key result
- Flash point:
- 123 °C
- Atm. press.:
- 1 013 hPa
- Interpretation of results:
- GHS criteria not met
- Conclusions:
- The flash point of the test item was determined to be 123 °C at 1013 hPa.
- Executive summary:
An experimental study was conducted to determine the flash point of the test item according to Regulation EC No. 440/2008 Method A.9. and ISO 2719 using the Pensky-Martens closed cup method. In the preliminary test the lowest temperature where an ignition was observed was 124.0 °C. In the main test. the average measured flash point corrected to ambient pressure was determined to be 123.1 °C. The flash point was rounded down to the nearest multiple of 0.5 °C to be 123 °C. Therefore the test item has not to be classified as flammable liquid.

Results
Preliminary test
The results of the pre-test with the search program are summarised in the following table.
The result “ignition” is indicated by + and “no ignition” by -.
Preliminary test
Amount of test item / g | Temperature / °C | Ignition (+/-) | Air pressure / hPa | Flash point (corr.) / °C |
66.4 | 124.0 | + | 1006.7 | 124.0 |
In the preliminary test the lowest temperature where an ignition was observed was 124.0 °C.
The result of the main test is summarised in the following table. The result “ignition” is indicated by + and “no ignition” by -.
Main test
Amount of test item / g | Temperature / °C | Ignition (+/-) | Air pressure / hPa | Flash point (corr.) / °C |
68.79 | 124.0 | + | 1008.8 | 124.11 |
68.79 | 122.0 | + | 1009.2 | 122.10 |
In the main test the lowest temperature where an ignition was observed was 122.0 °C.
The average measured flash point is corrected to the ambient pressure to be 123.1 °C
The resulting average corrected flash point rounded down to the nearest multiple of 0.5 °C is 123.0 °C.
Final results
The test item has a flash point of 123.0 °C (average corrected and rounded down to the nearest multiple of 0.5 °C) according to Regulation EC No. 440/2008 Method A.9. Flash Point and DIN EN ISO 2719 (2003).
Description of key information
The flash point of the test item was determined to be 123 °C at 1013 hPa.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- Flash point at 101 325 Pa:
- 123 °C
Additional information
An experimental study was conducted to determine the flash point of the test item according to Regulation EC No. 440/2008 Method A.9. and ISO 2719 using the Pensky-Martens closed cup method.
