STANDARD TEST METHOD FOR FLASH AND FIRE POINTS BY CLEVELAND OPEN CUP TESTER
This Malaysian Standard describes the determination of the flash point and fire point of petroleum products by a manual Cleveland open cup apparatus or an automated Cleveland open cup apparatus.
NOTE 1—The precisions for fire point were not determined in the current interlaboratory program. Fire point is a parameter that is notcommonly specified, although in some cases, knowledge of this flammability temperature may be desired.
1.2 This test method is applicable to all petroleum products with flash points above 79°C (175°F) and below 400°C(752°F) except fuel oils.
NOTE 2—This test method may occasionally be specified for the determination of the fire point of a fuel oil. For the determination of theflash points of fuel oils, use Test Method D 93. Test Method D 93 should also be used when it is desired to determine the possible presenceof small, but significant, concentrations of lower flash point substances that may escape detection by Test Method D 92. Test MethodD 1310 can be empl
