- Key result
- Relative self-ignition temperature:
- 348 °C
- Conclusions:
- The relative self-ignition temperature of the tested material is 348ºC according to EU method A.16 criteria.
- Executive summary:
The determination of the self-ignition temperature of the tested material was performed according to EU Method A.16 (GLP study). A cube of stainless steel wire mesh was filled with the test item, suspended in the centre of the laboratory oven and heated at a constant rate of 0.5ºC/min until reaching 400ºC. One thermocouple was placed at the centre of the cube and the other between the cube and the oven wall to record the oven temperature. According to the test method, the relative self-ignition temperature of the tested material is 348ºC.
Reference
At the oven temperature of 348 °C, the sample temperature reaches 400
°C. According to the criteria of the method A.16 the observed phenomenon
indicates that the relative self-ignition temperature of the sample is
348 °C. See image attached.
