Standard Test Methods for Flash Point with the ASTM D3828 Small-Scale Closed Cup Tester

EUROLAB laboratory provides testing and compliance services within the scope of ASTM D3828 standard. These test methods cover procedures for flash point testing of petroleum products and biodiesel liquid fuels in the –30°C to 300°C range using a small-scale closed-cup tester.

The procedures can be used to determine whether a product will flash at a certain temperature (blink/no burn Method A) or a sample's flash point (Method B). When used with an electronic thermal flash detector, these test methods are also suitable for flash point tests on biodiesels such as fatty acid methyl esters (FAME).
