Determination of flash point - Abel closed-cup method (ISO 13736:2008)
ISO 13736:2008 specifies a method for the determination of the closed-cup flash point of combustible liquids having flash points between - 30,0 °C and 70,0 °C, inclusive. However, the precision given for this method is only valid for flash points in the range - 5,0 °C to 66,5 °C.
ISO 13736:2008 is not applicable to water-borne paints, which can, however, be tested using ISO 3679.
Bestimmung des Flammpunktes - Verfahren mit geschlossenem Tiegel nach Abel (ISO 13736:2008)
Diese Internationale Norm legt ein Verfahren für die Bestimmung des Flamm¬punktes im geschlossenen Tiegel für brennbare Flüssigkeiten, deren Flammpunkt zwischen 30,0 °C und 70,0 °C liegt, fest. Die Präzisionsangaben für dieses Verfahren gelten jedoch nur für den Flammpunktbereich 5,0 °C bis 66,5 °C.
Diese Internationale Norm ist nicht anwendbar für Wasserlacke, die jedoch nach ISO 3679 [4] geprüft werden dürfen.
ANMERKUNG 1 Für die Wichtigkeit dieser Prüfung zur Vermeidung des Verlustes von flüchtigen Materialien siehe 4.1.
ANMERKUNG 2 Flüssigkeiten, die halogenierte Bestandteile enthalten, können anormale Ergebnisse ergeben.
Détermination du point d'éclair - Méthode Abel en vase clos (ISO 13736:2008)
L'ISO 13736:2008 spécifie une méthode de détermination du point d'éclair en vase clos des combustibles liquides dont les points d'éclair sont compris entre -30,0 °C et 70,0 °C inclus. La fidélité donnée pour la méthode ne s'applique toutefois qu'aux points d'éclair compris entre -5,0 °C et 66,5 °C.
L'ISO 13736:2008 n'est pas applicable aux peintures à base d'eau, qui peuvent néanmoins être testées en utilisant l'ISO 3679.

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.
International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.
The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft International Standards
adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an
International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent
rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
ISO 13736 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 28, Petroleum products and lubricants.
This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition (ISO 13736:1997), which has been technically
revised.

Introduction
Flash-point values can be used in shipping, storage, handling and safety regulations, as a classification
property to define “flammable” and “combustible” materials. Precise definition of the classes is given in each
particular regulation.
A flash-point value can indicate the presence of highly volatile material(s) in a relatively non-volatile or non-
flammable material, and flash-point testing can be a preliminary step to other investigations into the
composition of unknown materials.
It is not appropriate that flash-point determinations be carried out on potentially unstable, decomposable, or
explosive materials, unless it has been previously established that heating the specified quantity of such
materials in contact with the metallic components of the flash-point apparatus within the temperature range
required for the method do not induce decomposition, explosion or other adverse effects.
Flash-point values are not a constant physical-chemical property of materials tested. They are a function of
the apparatus design, the condition of the apparatus used and the operational procedure carried out. Flash
point can, therefore, be defined only in terms of a standard test method, and no general valid correlation can
be guaranteed between results obtained by different test methods or with test apparatus different from that
specified.
[6] [7]
ISO/TR 29662 (CEN/TR 15138 ) gives useful advice in carrying out flash-point tests and interpreting
results.

CAUTION — The use of this International Standard can involve hazardous materials and equipment.
This International Standard does not purport to address all of the safety problems associated with its
use. It is the responsibility of the user of this International Standard to establish appropriate safety
and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.
1 Scope
This International Standard specifies a method for the determination of the closed-cup flash point of
combustible liquids having flash points between − 30,0 °C and 70,0 °C, inclusive. However, the precision
given for this method is only valid for flash points in the range − 5,0 °C to 66,5 °C.
This International Standard is not applicable to water-borne paints, which can, however, be tested using
[4]
ISO 3679 .
NOTE 1 See 4.1 for the importance of this test to avoid loss of volatile materials.
NOTE 2 Liquids containing halogenated compounds can give anomalous results.
