3、14.INTRODUCTIONThis flash point test method is a dynamic test method which depends on specified rates of heatingto be able to meet the precision of the test method. The rate of heating may not in all cases give theprecision quoted in the test method because of the low thermal conductivity of some ma

4、terials. Thereare flash point test methods with slower heating rates available, such as Test Method D3941 (forpaints, resins, and related products, and high viscosity products in the range of 0 to110C), where thetest conditions are closer to equilibrium.Flash point values are a function of the appar

5、atus design, the condition of the apparatus used, andthe operational procedure carried out. Flash point can therefore only be defined in terms of a standardtest method, and no general valid correlation can be guaranteed between results obtained by differenttest methods, or with test apparatus differ

6、ent from that specified.1. Scope*1.1 These test methods cover the determination of the flash point of petroleum products in the temperature range from 40 to370C by a manual Pensky-Martens closed-cup apparatus or an automated Pensky-Martens closed-cup apparatus, and thedetermination of the flash poin

7、t of biodiesel in the temperature range of 60 to 190C by an automated Pensky-Martens closed cupapparatus.NOTE 1Flash point determinations above 250C can be performed, however, the precision has not been determined above this temperature. Forresidual fuels, precision has not been determined for flash

8、 points above 100C. The precision of in-use lubricating oils has not been determined. Somespecifications state a D93 minimum flash point below 40C, however, the precision has not been determined below this temperature.1.2 Procedure A is applicable to distillate fuels (diesel, biodiesel blends, keros

9、ine, heating oil, turbine fuels), new and in-uselubricating oils, and other homogeneous petroleum liquids not included in the scope of Procedure B or Procedure C.1.3 Procedure B is applicable to residual fuel oils, cutback residua, used lubricating oils, mixtures of petroleum liquids withsolids, pet

10、roleum liquids that tend to form a surface film under test conditions, or are petroleum liquids of such kinematic viscositythat they are not uniformly heated under the stirring and heating conditions of Procedure A.1.4 Procedure C is applicable to biodiesel (B100). Since a flash point of residual al

11、cohol in biodiesel is difficult to observe bymanual flash point techniques, automated apparatus with electronic flash point detection have been found suitable.1.5 These test methods are applicable for the detection of contamination of relatively nonvolatile or nonflammable materialswith volatile or

12、flammable materials.1.6 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as the standard. The values given in parentheses are for information only.NOTE 2It has been common practice in flash point standards for many decades to alternately use a Cscale or an Fscale thermometer for temperaturemeasureme

13、nt. Although the scales are close in increments, they are not equivalent. Because the Fscale thermometer used in this procedure is graduated1 These test methods are under the joint jurisdiction of ASTM Committee D02 on Petroleum Products, Liquid Fuels, and Lubricants and are the direct responsibilit

Therefore, for the purposes of application of the procedure of thetest method for the separate temperature scale thermometers, different increments

In this test method, the following protocol has beenadopted: When a temperature is intended to be a converted equivalent, it will appear in parentheses following the SI unit, for example 370C (698F).When a temperature is intended to be a rationalized unit for the alternate scale, it w

Significance and Use5.1 The flash point temperature is one measure of the tendency of the test specimen to form a flammable mixture with air undercontrolled laboratory conditions. It is only one of a number of properties which must b

31、e considered in assessing the overallflammability hazard of a material.5.2 Flash point is used in shipping and safety regulations to define flammable and combustible materials. One should consultthe particular regulation involved for precise definitions of these classifications.NOTE 3The U.S. Depart

32、ment of Transportation (DOT)4 and U.S. Department of Labor (OSHA) have established that liquids with a flash point under37.8C (100F) (see Note 1) are flammable, as determined by these test methods, for those liquids which have a kinematic viscosity of 5.8 mm 2/s (cSt)or more at 37.8C or 9.5 mm 2/s (

33、cSt) or more at 25C (77F), or that contain suspended solids, or have a tendency to form a surface film while undertest. Other classification flash points have been established by these departments for liquids using these test methods.5.3 These test methods should be used to measure and describe the

34、properties of materials, products, or assemblies in responseto heat and an ignition source under controlled laboratory conditions and should not be used to describe or appraise the fire hazardor fire risk of materials, products, or assemblies under actual fire conditions. However, results of these t

35、est methods may be usedas elements of a fire risk assessment which takes into account all of the factors which are pertinent to an assessment of the firehazard of a particular end use.5.4 These test methods provide the only closed cup flash point test procedures for temperatures up to 370C (698F).6.

36、 Apparatus6.1 Pensky-Martens Closed Cup Apparatus (manual) This apparatus consists of the test cup, test cover and shutter, stirringdevice, heating source, ignition source device, air bath, and top plate described in detail in Annex A1. The assembled manualapparatus, test cup, test cup cover, and te

37、st cup assembly are illustrated in Figs. A1.1-A1.4, respectively. Dimensions are listedrespectively.6.2 Pensky-Martens Closed Cup Apparatus (Automated)4This apparatus is an automated flash point instrument that is capableof performing the test in accordance with Section 11 (Procedure A), Section 12

38、(Procedure B), and 13 (Procedure C) of these testmethods. The apparatus shall use the test cup, test cover and shutter, stirring device, heating source, and ignition source devicedescribed in detail in Annex A1.6.3 Temperature Measuring DeviceThermometer having a range as shown as followsin Table 1

39、and conforming to therequirements prescribed in Specification E1 or in Annex A3, or an electronic temperature measuring device, such as resistancethermometers or thermocouples. The device shall exhibit the same temperature response as the mercury thermometers.Thermometer NumberTemperature Range ASTM

The gas flame device described in de

41、tailed in Fig. A1.4 requires the use of the pilot flame described inA1.1.2.3. The electric ignitors shall be of the hot-wire type and shall position the heated section of the ignitor in the aperture ofthe test cover in the same manner as the gas flame device. (WarningGas pressure supplied to the app

42、aratus should not beallowed to exceed 3 kPa (12 in.) of water pressure.)6.5 BarometerWith accuracy of 60.5 kPa.NOTE 3The barometric pressure used in this calculation is the ambient pressure for the laboratory at the time of the test. Many aneroid barometers,such as those used at weather stations and

43、 airports, are precorrected to give sea level readings and would not give the correct reading for this test.7. Reagents and Materials7.1 Cleaning SolventsUse suitable solvent capable of cleaning out the specimen from the test cup and drying the test cup andcover. Some commonly used solvents are tolu

44、ene and acetone. (WarningToluene, acetone, and many solvents are flammableand a health hazard. Dispose of solvents and waste material in accordance with local regulations.)4 Supporting data regarding a variant of the cover locking mechanism have been filed at ASTM International Headquarters and may

Refer to Practice D4057. When obtaining a sample of residual fuel oil,the sample container shall be from 85 to 95 % fu

47、ll. For other types of samples, the size of the container shall be chosen such thatthe container is not more than 85 % full or less than 50 % full prior to any sample aliquot being taken. For biodiesel (B100)samples, a typical one liter container filled to 85% volume is recommended.8.3 Successive te

48、st specimens can be taken from the same sample container. Repeat tests have been shown to be within theprecisions of the method when the second specimen is taken with the sample container at least 50 % filled. The results of flashpoint determinations can be affected if the sample volume is less than

49、 50 % of sample container capacity.8.4 Erroneously high flash points may be obtained if precautions are not taken to avoid the loss of volatile material. Do not opencontainers unnecessarily, to prevent loss of volatile material or possible introduction of moisture, or both.Avoid storage of samplesat temperatures in excess of 35C or 95F. Samples for storage shall be capped tightly with inner seals. Do not make a transferunless the sample temperature is at least the equivalent of 18C or 32F below the expect
