- Executive summary:
A study was conducted to determine the flash point of the substance, according to EU method A.9, OPPTS 830.6315 and UN test methods Rev. 5 2015 method 32.4. The determinations in the main test gave three values with a large variation, the difference between the highest and the lowest value was 15°C. This is attributed to the test substance properties test substance consists of a mixture. Possibly, vaporisation of the single components is poorly reproducible, and therefore, different values for the flash point are measured. Also the change in colour is a sign of decomposition, which is also an explanation for the large variation. Under the study, the flash point of the substance was determined to be 187°C (Krebs, 2018).
Reference
Pre-Test: First, the flash point was determined in approximation, using the Search program of the instrument. In Search program with high heating rate, the range of the flash point was determined.
Observations of the Pre Test:
Observations | Temperatures |
A clear yellow liquid was visible | 100°C |
Individual bubble | Since 130°C |
Colourless condensate | Since 150°C |
Often bubbles | Since 200°C |
More bubbles with vapour | Since 350°C |
Bubble chain, burner switched off | 380°C |
Test item rose to the half-height of reagent glass | 350°C |
No more bubbles visible | 320°C |
After cooling down the test item was a clear very viscous dark yellow liquid. This is considered as a sign of decomposition. |
Main Test: With the flash point determined in the pre-test, the suitable program of the test system was selected (EN ISO 2719-A). After filling the clean test vessel with test substance, the program was started. After determination of the flash point, the determination was repeated. The determination was performed in triplicate as the difference between first and second determination was > 2 K.
Observations of the main test:
Program | Expected flash point (setting) in °C | Flash point (found) in °C |
Search | 350 | 176.2 |
EN ISO 2719-A | 176 | 187 |
EN ISO 2719-A | 187 | 202 |
EN ISO 2719-A | 187 | 192 |
