The EN ISO 13736 standard, developed by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO), specifies a method for manual and automatic closed-cup flash point determination of flammable liquids with flash points between -30,0 °C and 75,0 °C. However, the accuracy given for this method applies only to flash points in the −8,5 °C to 75,0 °C range.
This document is not valid for waterborne paints. Waterborne paints can be tested using ISO 3679. Liquids containing halogenated compounds may produce abnormal results. The thermometer specified for the manual device is limited to the upper test temperature of 70,0 °C.
The test portion is placed in the test cup of an Abel apparatus and heated at the specified rates. A small test flame is directed into the test cup at regular intervals and the flash point is taken as the lowest temperature at which application of the test flame causes the vapor above the test piece to ignite with a distinct flash within the test cup.
The Abel Flash Point Apparatus is used as an Abel oil tester as described. If automatic testers are used, ensure that all of the manufacturer's instructions for calibrating, adjusting, and operating the instrument are followed. In the event of any dispute, the manually determined flash point will be considered the referee test.
