- Executive summary:
The objective of the study was to determine the self-ignition temperature of the test substance according to EU method A.16.
The apparatus consists of a temperature-programmed laboratory oven with natural air circulation and explosion relief. A 20 mm cube, made from stainless steel wire mesh with 0.045 mm openings, and secured with fold back clips, was filled with test substance. This was suspended in the oven and a thermocouple inserted into the test substance. A second thermocouple was mounted in the oven between the cube and the wall. A two-channel, direct temperature-reading chart recorder was used to monitor the temperature of the two thermocouples. The oven was set to perform a ramp rate of 0.5°C/min up to 400°C. The temperatures of the oven and the sample were recorded using the chart recorder. If a substance ignites, the sample trace will show a sharp temperature rise above the oven temperature. The chart recorder was programmed to automatically read the temperature of the oven when the sample temperature reaches 400°C. The sample was viewed before and after the test and any observations noted. No relative self-ignition of the test substance was observed below 400°C.
Reference
Prior to heating, the test sample was a yellow free-flowing powder. No exotherm of sufficient magnitude to constitute a self-ignition temperature is visible. After heating, a black free-flowing powder of approximately the same volume remained.
No relative self-ignition of the test substance was observed below 400°C.
