Petroleum and related products — Determination of wick flame persistence of fire-resistant fluids

This document specifies a method for the assessment of the persistence of a flame applied to the edge of a wick of non-flammable material immersed in fire-resistant fluid. This test does not determine the behaviour of a spray of fire-resistant fluid. NOTE Such test methods are specified in ISO 15029-1 and ISO 15029-2. This document specifies one of four basic tests for determining flammability. This document does not apply to certain liquids such as HFAE and HFAS liquids.

Pétrole et produits connexes — Détermination de la persistance d'une flamme sur une mèche trempée dans un fluide difficilement inflammable

Le présent document spécifié une méthode d'évaluation de la persistance d'une flamme appliquée à l'extrémité d'une mèche en matière ignifugée, trempée dans un fluide difficilement inflammable. Cet essai ne permet pas de déterminer les caractéristiques d'inflammation des fluides difficilement inflammables en jet pulvérisé. NOTE Les méthodes qui permettent de déterminer ces caractéristiques sont spécifiées dans les ISO 15029‑1 et ISO 15029‑2. Le présent document spécifie l'une des quatre méthodes qui permettent de déterminer l'inflammabilité des fluides difficilement inflammables. Le présent document ne s'applique pas à certains fluides tels que les fluides HFAE et HFAS.

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).
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. Details of
any patent rights identified during the development of the document will be in the Introduction and/or
on the ISO list of patent declarations received (see www .iso .org/ patents).
Any trade name used in this document is information given for the convenience of users and does not
constitute an endorsement.

expressions related to conformity assessment, as well as information about ISO's adherence to the
World Trade Organization (WTO) principles in the Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT), see www .iso .org/

This document was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 28, Petroleum and related products, fuels
and lubricants from natural or synthetic sources, in collaboration with the European Committee for
Standardization (CEN) Technical Committee CEN/TC 19, Gaseous and liquid fuels, lubricants and related
products of petroleum, synthetic and biological origin, in accordance with the Agreement on technical
cooperation between ISO and CEN (Vienna Agreement).
This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition (ISO 14935:1998), which has been technically
revised. The main changes compared to the previous edition are as follows:
— material data of the reservoir have been changed;
— some designations have been changed;
— drawings have been revised;
— tolerances in ignition and dropping times and nozzle dimensions have been tightened for better
accuracy.
Any feedback or questions on this document should be directed to the user’s national standards body. A

Introduction
This document was originally developed by CEN under a mandate from the European Commission.
The test methodology laid down in this document is commonly listed in fire-resistant hydraulic fluids'
specifications, such as ISO 12922, in which it defines the minimum requirements for unused flame-
retardant and less flammable hydraulic fluids for hydrostatic and hydro-dynamic systems in general
industrial applications.
