Standard test methods for flash point of aviation turbine fuels by setaflash closed tester

Journal Article · · Annu. Book ASTM Stand.; (United States)
OSTI ID:6716917
A procedure is described for the determination of the flash point of aviation turbine fuels. The procedure may be used to determine whether a fuel will or will not flash at a specified temperature (flash/no flash), or the actual flash point temperature. The presence of volatile diluents may also be determined by this procedure. Results using the specified apparatus have been shown to be comparable in magnitude to those obtained by using the Tag Closed-Cup procedure as described in Method D 56. This standard should be used to measure and describe the properties of materials, products, or systems in response to heat and flame under controlled laboratory conditions and should not be used for the description or appraisal of the fire hazard of materials, products, or systems under actual fire conditions.
