Determination of flash point - Abel closed-cup method (ISO 13736:2021)

This document specifies a method for the determination of the manual and automated closed cup flash point of combustible liquids having flash points between –30,0 °C to 75,0 °C. However, the precision given for this method is only valid for flash points in the range −8,5 °C to 75,0 °C.
This document is not applicable to water-borne paints.
NOTE 1   Water borne paints can be tested using ISO 3679[1].
NOTE 2   See 9.1 for the importance of this test in avoiding loss of volatile materials.
NOTE 3   Liquids containing halogenated compounds can give anomalous results.
NOTE 4   The thermometer specified for the manual apparatus limits the upper test temperature to 70,0 °C.
NOTE 5   See 13.1 for more specific information related to precision.

Dieses Dokument ist nicht anwendbar auf Wasserlacke.
ANMERKUNG 1 Wasserlacke können nach ISO 3679 [1] geprüft werden.
ANMERKUNG 2 Siehe 9.1 hinsichtlich der Bedeutung dieser Prüfung bei der Vermeidung des Verlusts an flüchtigen Bestandteilen.
ANMERKUNG 3 Flüssigkeiten, die halogenierte Verbindungen enthalten, können anormale Ergebnisse liefern.
ANMERKUNG 4 Das für das manuelle Flammpunktprüfgerät festgelegte Thermometer begrenzt die obere Prüftemperatur auf 70,0 °C.
ANMERKUNG 5 Für spezifischere Information zu Präzision siehe 13.1.
WARNUNG - Die Anwendung dieses Dokuments kann die Anwendung gefährlicher Stoffe, Arbeitsgänge und Geräte mit sich bringen. Dieses Dokument beansprucht nicht, alle damit verbundenen Sicherheitsprobleme zu behandeln. Es liegt in der Verantwortung des Anwenders dieses Dokuments, vor der Anwendung dieser Norm geeignete Maßnahmen für die Sicherheit und den Gesundheitsschutz des Personals zu ergreifen und die Geltung weiterer diesbezüglicher Auflagen zu prüfen.

Détermination du point d'éclair - Méthode Abel en vase clos (ISO 13736:2021)

Le présent document spécifie une méthode manuelle et automatisée de détermination du point d’éclair en vase clos des combustibles liquides dont les points d’éclair sont compris entre −30,0 °C et 75,0 °C. La fidélité donnée pour la méthode ne s’applique toutefois qu’aux points d’éclair compris entre −8,5 °C et 75,0 °C.
Le présent document n’est pas applicable aux peintures à base d’eau.
NOTE 1      Les peintures à base d'eau peuvent être soumises à essai en utilisant l’ISO 3679[1].
NOTE 2      Voir 9.1 concernant l’importance, lors de cet essai, d’éviter la perte de composés volatils.
NOTE 3      Les liquides contenant des composés halogénés peuvent donner des résultats anormaux.
NOTE 4      Le thermomètre spécifié pour l’appareillage manuel limite la température d’essai supérieure à 70,0 °C.
NOTE 5      Voir 13.1 pour plus d’informations sur la précision.

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.
The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are
described in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular, the different approval criteria needed for the
different types of ISO documents should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the
editorial rules of the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2 (see www .iso .org/ directives).
