This European Standard describes a method for the determination of the flash point
of petroleum products and other liquids flashing above + 5 °C and below + 65 °C by the
use of the Abel-Pensky apparatus. The test method can be used as described below
+ 5 °C; in this case, however, substantially larger precision ranges than stated in
9.3 are to be expected.
In some European countries the range over which the Abel-Pensky method is pemitted
to be used is regulated by domestic legislation. In those cases, provided the legal
range is within the above limits, it is permissible to add a note to this clause
stating the restricted range applicable.
The method described is not suitable for viscous or non-homogeneous mixtures or
solutions such as lacquers, paints or adhesives
Among other characteristics, the flash point is a criterion of the flammability of
combustible liquids if ignited by a flame, and for that reason offers an aid for
judging the danger of those liquids with respect to explosiveness or flammability.
Classifications of combustible liquids in different danger classes for transporting
and storing purposes are based on their flash points.
In some cases the determination of the flash point enables contamination to be
detected.
