The TAG flash point tester adheres to ASTM D56 and has no stirrer, while the Abel flash point testers adheres to IP 170 and ISO 13736 and has a stirring motor so the sample is stirred during testing. The flash point is an empirical measurement rather than a fundamental physical parameter.
Some paint thinners can ignite from just a small spark in relatively low temperatures. These solvents are volatile organic compounds (VOCs), with white or mineral spirits having a very low flash point at about 40°C (104°F), the same as some popular brands of charcoal
Includes liquids having a flash point at or above 100 °F (38 °C) but below 200 °F (93 °C) (e.g., diesel fuel). 1. Materials that must be preheated before ignition will occur. Includes liquids, solids and semi solids having a flash point above 200 °F (93 °C) (e.g., canola oil). 0. Materials that will not burn (e.g., Water).
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:
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.
Mineral Spirits, often referred to as paint thinner, represent a complex petroleum distillate with a flash point range between 104 degrees F (40 degrees C) and 110 degrees F (43 degrees C). With an ignition temperature of 473 degrees F (245 degrees C) and explosive limits of 0.8% at 212 degrees F (100 degrees C), mineral spirits possess a vapor ...

Nitrocellulose (also known as cellulose nitrate, flash paper, flash cotton, guncotton, pyroxylin and flash string, depending on form) is a highly flammable compound formed by nitrating cellulose through exposure to a mixture of nitric acid and sulfuric acid.
