Flammability Hazard Testing of Liquids, Vapors, and Gases

Flammability and Burning Properties

Closed Cup Flash Point (ASTM D93) 

Flash Point by Pensky–Martens Closed Cup Tester. This test method determines the flash point of liquids in the temperature range from 40°C to 370°C (104°F and 698°F) by the manual Pensky–Martens closed–cup apparatus. Sample size: 250ml.

Open Cup Flash Point (ASTM D1310 or 16 CFR 1500.43)

Flash Point of Liquids by Tag Open-Cup Apparatus. The ASTM D1310 test method determines the flash point and fire point of liquids having flash points between −18°C and 165°C (0°F and 325°F). The test method for 16 CFR 1500.43 is similar to ASTM D1310 but meeting different test temperature requirements. Sample size: 250ml.

Fire Point of Liquid Mixtures (ASTM D1310)

Fire Point of Liquids by Tag Open-Cup Apparatus. This test method determines liquid fire points up to 325°F. Sample Size: 250ml.

Sustained Burning of Liquid Mixtures (ASTM D4206)

Sustained Burning of Liquid Mixtures Using the Small Scale Open-Cup Apparatus. This test method determines the sustained burning characteristics of mixtures of flammable and nonflammable liquids, and mixtures containing liquids with widely different flash points. Sample Size: 50ml.

Sustained Burning of Liquid Mixtures (US DOT per 49 CRF173 Appx. H or UN Test L.2)

Method of Testing for Sustained Combustibility. This test method determines if a material when heated under test conditions and exposed to an external source of flame applied in a standard manner sustains combustion. This procedure is similar to ASTM D-4206 but meets the test temperature requirements of 49 CFR 173 Appx. H. Sample size: 100ml.
