The ASTM D92-18 standard, developed by the American Testing and Materials Organization (ASTM), offers a standard test method for flash and fire points with the Cleveland open cup tester.
The flash point is a measure of the test sample's tendency to form a flammable mixture with air under controlled laboratory conditions. One of several characteristics to consider when assessing the overall flammability hazard of a material is its flash point. This value is taken into account in transport and safety regulations to identify flammable and combustible materials.
The flash point indicates the possible presence of highly volatile and flammable materials in a relatively non-volatile or non-flammable material. For example, an extremely low flash point in a test sample of engine oil indicates mixing with gasoline.
The test method described in the ASTM D92-18 standard is used to measure and describe the properties of materials, products or assemblies in response to heat and test flame under controlled laboratory conditions. However, they should not be used to identify or assess fire hazard or fire risk. However, the results of this test method can be used as elements of a fire risk assessment that takes into account all the factors for a particular fire hazard assessment.
Briefly, the test method described in this standard is for determining the flash point and flash point of petroleum products with a manual or automatic Cleveland open cup apparatus. The fire point is a parameter that is not commonly specified, but in some cases it may be desirable to know this flammability temperature. This standard is applicable to all petroleum products with a flash point above 79 degrees Celsius and below 400 degrees Celsius, excluding fuel oils. ASTM D93 standard is valid for determination of flash points of fuels. If the flash point is below 79 degrees, the ASTM D1310 standard is valid.
Our organization, among the numerous test, measurement, analysis and evaluation studies it has given for businesses in various sectors, with its trained and expert staff and advanced technological equipment, within the framework of national and international standards, ASTM D92-18 Cleveland open cup test device for flash and fire points. It also provides testing services within the framework of the standard test method standard.
