Title
Standard Test Method for Flash Point and Fire Point of Liquids by Tag Open-Cup Apparatus

ASTM International

Publication Date:
Dec 10, 2001

Scope:

This test method covers the determination by Tag Open-Cup Apparatus of the flash point and fire point of liquids having flash points between -18 and 165°C (0 and 325°F) and fire points up to 325°F.

This test method, when applied to paints and resin solutions that tend to skin over or that are very viscous, gives less reproducible results than when applied to solvents.

NOTE 1—In order to conserve time and sample, the fire point of a material may be determined by the Tag Open-Cup Method by continuing the heating of the specimen to its fire point. Fire points may also be determined by Test Method D 92, which should be used for fire points beyond the scope of this test method.

The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as the standard. The values given in parentheses are for information only.

This standard should be used to measure and describe the properties of materials, products, or assemblies in response to heat and flame 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 this test may be used as elements of a fire risk assessment which takes into account all of the factors pertinent to an assessment of the fire hazard of a particular end use.

This standard does not purport to address the safety problems 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.
