PETROLEUM PRODUCTS AND OTHER LIQUIDS – DETERMINATION OF FLASH POINT – ABEL CLOSED CUP METHOD (ISO 13736:1997, IDT)
This Malaysian Standard specifies a method for the determination of the closed cup flash point of petroleum products and other liquids having flash points between -30 °C and 70 °C inclusive. However the precision given for the method is only valid for flash points in the range 5 °C to 66.5 °C.
This Malaysian Standard is not applicable to water borne paints which may however be tested using ISO 3679.
NOTES
1. This method should be used to measure and describe the properties of materials, products, or assemblies in response to heat and flame under controlled laboratory conditions, and should not be used to describe or appraise the fire hazard or fire risk of materials, products, or assemblies under actual fire conditions. However, results of this test may be used as elements of a fire risk assessment which takes into account all of the factors which are pertinent to an assessment of the fire hazard of a particular end use.
2. Flash Point is used in shipping, storage, and handling
