This document specifies a method for the determination of the manual and automated closed cup flash point of combustible liquids having flash points between –30,0?°C to 75,0?°C. However, the precision given for this method is only valid for flash points in the range?8,5?°C to 75,0?°C.
This document is not applicable to water-borne paints.
NOTE?1?Water borne paints can be tested using ISO 3679[1].
NOTE?2?See 9.1 for the importance of this test in avoiding loss of volatile materials.
NOTE?3?Liquids containing halogenated compounds can give anomalous results.
NOTE?4?The thermometer specified for the manual apparatus limits the upper test temperature to 70,0?°C.
NOTE?5?See 13.1 for more specific information related to precision.
