2. Cleveland open-cup method - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cleveland_open-cup_method

   The Cleveland open-cup method is one of three main methods in chemistry for determining the flash point of a petroleum product using a Cleveland open-cup apparatus, also known as a Cleveland open-cup tester. [1] First, the test cup of the apparatus (usually brass) is filled to a certain level with a portion of the product.

3. Flash point - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flash_point

   Closed cup testers normally give lower values for the flash point than open cup (typically 5–10 °C or 9–18 °F lower) and are a better approximation to the temperature at which the vapour pressure reaches the lower flammable limit. In addition to the Penskey-Martens flash point testers, other non-equilibrial testers include TAG and Abel ...

4. Pensky–Martens closed-cup test - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pensky–Martens_closed-cup...

   This allows the development of an equilibrium between the liquid and the air volume. The ignition source is directed into the cup at regular intervals with simultaneous interruption of stirring. The test concludes upon observation of a flash that spreads throughout the inside of the cup. The corresponding temperature is the liquid's flash point.

5. Petrotest - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Petrotest

   In 1996, the removable head for flash point testers was patented, thus giving the user the option to perform flash point tests with an automatic sample changer. This allows the user to accelerate the individual tests since the manual insertion, the required cooling and the manual removal of the sample container are no longer necessary.

6. Fire point - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fire_point

   The fire point, or combustion point, of a fuel is the lowest temperature at which the liquid fuel will continue to burn for at least five seconds after ignition by an open flame of standard dimension. [1] At the flash point, a lower temperature, a substance will ignite briefly, but vapour might not be produced at a rate to sustain the fire ...

7. Smoke point - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smoke_point

   Smoke point decreases at a different pace in different oils. [10] Considerably above the temperature of the smoke point is the flash point, the point at which the vapours from the oil can ignite in air, given an ignition source. The following table presents smoke points of various fats and oils.

9. HAZMAT Class 3 Flammable liquids - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HAZMAT_Class_3_Flammable...

   A flammable liquid is a liquid having a flash point of not more than 60 °C (140 °F), or any material in a liquid phase with a flash point at or above 37.8 °C (100 °F) that is intentionally heated and offered for transportation or transported at or above its flash point in a bulk packaging. The following exceptions apply:
