Application:

• This apparatus is used for determination of Flash Point of petroleum products except fuel oil with open flash above 80°C as per specification given in IP 36/57, IS 1448 (P:69) 1969 and ASTM-D-92-67.
• The Energy Regulator variant is used for determination of Flash Point of petroleum products with open flash between 79°C - 400°C as per specification IP 36/57, IS 1448 (P:69) 2019 and ASTM-D-92.

Significance & Use:

• Flash point is used in shipping and safety regulations to define flammable and combustible materials. Flash point can indicate the possible presence of highly volatile and flammable materials in a relatively nonvolatile or nonflammable material. The flash point is one measure of the tendency of the test specimen to form a flammable mixture with air under controlled laboratory conditions.
