Determination of explosion points of flammable liquids
This European Standard specifies a test method to determine the explosion points of flammable liquids in air. This European Standard applies to flammable liquids at atmospheric pressure and at temperatures in the range from 50 °C to 300 °C.
This European standard must not be applied to explosives or materials which, under the test conditions, are thermally unstable liquids (e.g. polymerizing/oxidizing materials).
Bestimmung von Explosionspunkten brennbarer Flüssigkeiten
Diese Europäische Norm legt ein Prüfverfahren zur Bestimmung der Explosionspunkte in Luft von brennbaren
Flüssigkeiten fest. Diese Norm gilt für brennbare Flüssigkeiten bei Umgebungsdruck und für Temperaturen
von –50 °C bis 300 °C.
Diese Europäische Norm gilt nicht für Sprengstoffe oder Produkte, die unter den Prüfbedingungen thermisch
instabil sind (z. B. polymerisierende/oxidierende Flüssigkeiten).
Détermination des points d'explosion des liquides inflammables
La présente Norme européenne spécifie une méthode d’essai permettant de déterminer les points d’explosion des liquides inflammables dans l’air. Elle s’applique aux liquides inflammables à la pression atmosphérique et à des températures comprises entre 50 °C et 300 °C.
La présente Norme européenne ne doit pas s’appliquer aux explosifs ou matériaux qui, dans les conditions d’essai, sont des liquides thermiquement instables (par exemple, les matériaux polymérisables/oxydants).
Ugotavljanje točk eksplozije vnetljivih tekočin
Ta evropski standard opredeljuje preskusno metodo za ugotavljanje točk eksplozije gorljivih tekočin na zraku. Ta evropski standard velja za gorljive tekočine pri pritisku atmosfere in pri temperaturi v razponu od 50°C do 300°C. Ne sme se uporabljati za eksplozive ali materiale, ki so pod preskusnimi pogoji toplotno nestabilne tekočine (npr. polimerizacijski/oksidacijski materiali).

The flammable liquid may be: a single liquid or a defined mixture of liquids; a process sample (of known or unknown composition). When a pure liquid or a mixture of defined composition is used, the purity of each liquid shall be 99,8 % mol. or better. In the case of a mixture or a process sample of undefined composition the sample should be characterised so that the origin as well as the related process conditions can be identified. 5.1.2 Sampling and Storage Sampling should be carried out if possible according to the procedures given in EN ISO 3170, EN ISO 3171, EN ISO 15528 or an equivalent National Standard. SIST EN 15794:2010
Sample containers are to be kept closed before and after sampling to avoid alterations of the sample (e.g. evaporation of volatile constituents/impurities). 5.2 Apparatus Apparatus see Figure 1 Dimensions in millimetres
