5.1 The flash point temperature is one measure of the tendency of the test specimen to form a flammable mixture with air under controlled laboratory conditions. It is only one of a number of properties which must be considered in assessing the overall flammability hazard of a material. 5.2 Flash point is used in shipping and safety regulations to define flammable and combustible materials. One should consult the particular regulation involved for precise definitions of these classifications. 5.3 These test methods should be
used to measure and describe the properties of materials, products,
or assemblies in response to heat and an ignition source under
controlled laboratory conditions and should not be used to describe
or appraise the fire hazard or fire risk of materials, products, or
assemblies under actual fire conditions. However, results of these
test methods may be used as elements of a fire risk assessment
which takes into account all of the factors which are pertinent to
an assessment of the fire hazard of a particular end use.
5.4 These test methods provide the only closed cup flash point test procedures for temperatures up to 370°C (698°F). |

|
1.1 These test methods cover the determination of the flash point of petroleum products in the temperature range from 40 to 370°C by a manual Pensky-Martens closed-cup apparatus or an automated Pensky-Martens closed-cup apparatus, and the determination of the flash point of biodiesel in the temperature range of 60 to 190°C by an automated Pensky-Martens closed cup apparatus. 1.2 Procedure A is applicable to
distillate fuels (diesel, biodiesel blends, kerosine, heating oil,
turbine fuels), new and in-use lubricating oils, and other
homogeneous petroleum liquids not included in the scope of
Procedure B or Procedure C.
1.3 Procedure B is applicable to residual fuel oils, cutback residua, used lubricating oils, mixtures of petroleum liquids with solids, petroleum liquids that tend to form a surface film under test conditions, or are petroleum liquids of such kinematic viscosity that they are not uniformly heated under the stirring and heating conditions of Procedure A. 1.4 Procedure C is applicable to biodiesel (B100). Since a flash point of residual alcohol in biodiesel is difficult to observe by manual flash point techniques, automated apparatus with electronic flash point detection have been found suitable. 1.5 These test methods are applicable for the detection of contamination of relatively nonvolatile or nonflammable materials with volatile or flammable materials. 1.6 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as the standard. The values given in parentheses are for information only. 1.7 This standard does not
purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated
with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard
to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine
the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.
