3、partment of Defense.INTRODUCTIONThis flash point and fire point test method is a dynamic method and depends on definite rates oftemperature increases to control the precision of the test method.Its primary use is for viscousmaterials having flash point of 79C(175F)and above.It is also used to determ
4、ine fire point,whichis a temperature above the flash point,at which the test specimen will support combustion for aminimum of 5 s.Do not confuse this test method with Test Method D4206,which is a sustainedburning test,open cup type,at a specific temperature of 49C(120F).Flash point values are a func
5、tion of the apparatus design,the condition of the apparatus used,andthe operational procedure carried out.Flash point can therefore only be defined in terms of a standardtest method,and no general valid correlation can be guaranteed between results obtained by differenttest methods,or with test appa

7、 interlaboratory program.Fire point is a parameter that is notcommonly specified,although in some cases,knowledge of this flamma-bility temperature may be desired.1.2 This test method is applicable to all petroleum productswith flash points above 79C(175F)and below 400C(752F)except fuel oils.NOTE2Th
8、is test method may occasionally be specified for thedetermination of the fire point of a fuel oil.For the determination of theflash points of fuel oils,use Test Method D93.Test Method D93 shouldalso be used when it is desired to determine the possible presence of small,but significant,concentrations
9、 of lower flash point substances that mayescape detection by Test Method D92.Test Method D1310 can beemployed if the flash point is known to be below 79C(175F).1.3 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as thestandard.The values given in parentheses are for informationonly.1.4 WARNINGMercu
