Determination of flash no-flash and flash point - Rapid equilibrium closed cup method (ISO 3679:2015)

ISO 3679:2015 specifies procedures for flash point tests, within the temperature range of -30 °C to 300 °C, for paints, including water-borne paints, varnishes, binders for paints and varnishes, adhesives, solvents, petroleum, and related products. The procedures are used to determine whether a product will or will not flash at a specified temperature (flash no-flash Procedure A) or the flash point of a sample (Procedure B). When used in conjunction with a flash detector, ISO 3679:2015 is also suitable to determine the flash point of fatty acid methyl esters (FAME).

Bestimmung des Flammpunktes mit dem Ja/Nein-Verfahren - Nach dem schnellen Gleichgewichtsverfahren mit geschlossenem Tiegel (ISO 3679:2015)

Diese Internationale Norm legt Verfahren zur Prüfung des Flammpunktes im geschlossenen Tiegel für Beschichtungsstoffe, einschließlich wasserverdünnbare Beschichtungsstoffe, Bindemittel für Beschichtungs-stoffe, Klebstoffe, Lösemittel, Mineralölerzeugnisse und verwandte Produkte in einem Temperaturbereich von 30 °C bis 300 °C fest. Diese Verfahren dienen dazu, zu bestimmen, ob ein Produkt bei einer festgelegten Temperatur aufflammt (Flammpunkt-Verfahren A) bzw. wo der Flammpunkt eines Produkts liegt (Verfahren B). Wird der Detektor (siehe A.1.6) eingesetzt, so kann diese Internationale Norm auch für die Bestimmung der Flammpunkte von Fettsäuremethylestern (FAME) herangezogen werden.

Détermination de l'éclair de type passe/ne passe pas et du point d'éclair - Méthode rapide à l'équilibre en vase clos (ISO 3679:2015)

L'ISO 3679:2015 spécifie des procédures d'essai de point d'éclair, dans un domaine de température de -30 °C à 300 °C, pour les peintures (y compris les peintures à support aqueux), les vernis, les liants pour peintures et vernis, les adhésifs, les solvants, les produits pétroliers et produits connexes. Ces procédures permettent de déterminer si un produit générera ou non un éclair à une température spécifiée (Procédure A pour essai d'éclair passe/ne passe pas) ou de déterminer le point d'éclair d'un échantillon (Procédure B). Lorsqu'elle est utilisée conjointement avec un détecteur d'éclair, l'ISO 3679:2015 convient aussi pour la détermination du point d'éclair des esters méthyliques d'acides gras (EMAG).

Ugotavljanje pojava plamena in plamenišča - Hitra ravnotežna metoda v zaprti posodi (ISO 3679:2015)

Ta mednarodni standard določa postopke za preskuse plamenišča pri temperaturi med –30 °C in 300 °C za barve, vključno z barvami na vodni osnovi, lake, vezivna sredstva za barve in lake, lepila, topila, petrolej in povezane izdelke. Postopki se uporabljajo za ugotavljanje, ali bo izdelek zagorel pri določeni temperaturi (postopek A za ugotavljanje pojava plamena), ali za ugotavljanje plamenišča vzorca (postopek B). Kadar se ta mednarodni standard uporablja skupaj z detektorjem plamena (A.1.6), je primeren tudi za ugotavljanje plamenišča metilnih estrov maščobnih kislin (FAME).

Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards
bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out
through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical
committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International
organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work.
ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of
electrotechnical standardization.
