Executive summary:

The flash point and fire point test method is a dynamic method and depends on definite rates of temperature increases to control the precision of the test method. Its primary use is for viscous materials having flash point of 79°C (175°F) and above. It is also used to determine fire point, which is a temperature above the flash point, at which the test specimen will support combustion for a minimum of 5 s.

 

The test was performing in accordance with the following guideline:

ASTM D92-05 (Designation: 36/84 (89)) – Standard Test Method for Flash and Fire Points by Cleveland Open Cup tester.

The test method is applicable to all petroleum products with flash points above 79°C (175°F) and below 400°C (752°F) except fuel oils.
