3.1
flash point
lowest temperature of the test portion, corrected to a standard atmospheric pressure of 101,3 kPa, at
which application of a test flame causes the vapour of the test portion to ignite under the specified
conditions of test
Note 1 to entry: See 10.10.
3.2
fire point
lowest temperature of the test portion, corrected to a barometric pressure of 101,3 kPa, at which
application of a test flame causes the vapour of the test portion to ignite and sustain burning for a
minimum of 5 s under the specified conditions of test
4 Principle
The test cup is filled to a specified level with the test portion. The temperature of the test portion may
be increased rapidly (5 °C/min to 17 °C/min) at first and then at a slow constant rate (5 °C/min to

ISO 2592:2017(E)
6 °C/min) as the flash point is approached. At specified temperature intervals, a small test flame is
passed across the test cup.
The lowest temperature at which application of the test flame causes the vapour above the surface of the
liquid to ignite is taken as the flash point at ambient barometric pressure. To determine the fire point,
the test is continued until the application of the test flame causes the vapour above the test portion to
ignite and burn for at least 5 s. The flash point and fire point obtained at ambient barometric pressure
are corrected to standard atmospheric pressure using a formula.
5 Chemicals and materials
5.1 Cleaning solvent, for removal of traces of sample from the test cup and cover.
The choice of solvent depends upon the previous material tested and the tenacity of the residue. Low
volatility aromatic (benzene-free) solvents may be used to remove traces of oil, and mixed solvents can
be efficacious for the removal of gum type deposits.
5.2 Verification liquids, certified reference material (CRM) or secondary working standards (SWS)
(see, for instance, C.2).
5.3 Steel wool, any grade capable of removing carbon deposits without damage to the test cup.
6 Apparatus
6.1 Cleveland open cup apparatus, as specified in Annex A.
If automated equipment is used, ensure that it has been established that the results obtained are
within the precision of this document, that the test cup and test flame applicator conform to the
key dimensional and mechanical requirements specified in Annex A and the procedures described
in Clauses 7, 10 and 11 are followed. If automated testers are used, the user shall ensure that all the
manufacturer’s instructions for adjusting and operating the instrument are followed.
In cases of dispute, the flash point as determined manually shall be considered the referee test.
6.2 Shield, to cover at least three sides of the test cup.
The apparatus may include a built-in draught shield.
6.3 Temperature measuring device, which shall meet the requirements for accuracy and have the
response as specified in Annex B.
6.4 Barometer, reading absolute pressure accurate to 0,5 kPa with a resolution of 0,1 kPa.
Barometers precorrected to give sea level readings, such as those used at weather stations and airports,
shall not be used.
7 Preparation of apparatus
7.1 Location of apparatus
Place the apparatus (6.1) on a level and steady surface in a draught-free room (see below). Shield the top
of the manual apparatus from strong light by any suitable means to permit detection of the flash point.
When draughts cannot be avoided, it is recommended good practice to surround the apparatus with
a shield.

ISO 2592:2017(E)
When testing samples which produce toxic vapours, the apparatus may be located in a fume hood with
an individual control of air flow, adjusted so that vapours are withdrawn without causing air currents
over the test cup.
7.2 Cleaning the test cup
Wash the test cup with an appropriate solvent (5.1) to remove any traces of gum or residue remaining
from a previous test. Dry the test cup using a stream of clean air to ensure complete removal of the
solvent used. If any deposits of carbon are present, remove them by rubbing with steel wool (5.3).
7.3 Preparing the test cup
7.3.1 If the alternative procedure referred to in 10.1 is used, follow the instructions in Annex D.
7.3.2 Before use, cool the test cup to at least 56 °C below the expected flash point.
7.4 Assembly of apparatus
Support the liquid in glass thermometer in a vertical position with the bottom of the bulb (6,4 ± 0,5) mm
from the bottom of the test cup, and located at a point halfway between the centre and side of the test
cup on a diameter perpendicular to the arc (or line) of the sweep of the test flame, and on the side
opposite to the test flame applicator. It is not necessary to restrict electronic temperature measuring
devices to be mounted vertically, provided their performance is in accordance with the requirements in
the test method.
The vertical position of the temperature measuring device may be set by lowering until it contacts the
bottom of the test cup, and then raise it by (6,4 ± 0,5) mm.
7.5 Verification of apparatus
7.5.1 Verify the correct functioning of the apparatus at least once a year by testing a certified reference
material (CRM) (5.2). The result obtained shall be equal to or less than R/√2 from the certified value of
the CRM, where R is the reproducibility of the method (see Clause 14).
It is recommended practice during verification of an automated apparatus to visually observe the
detected flash point for correct operation.
It is recommended that more frequent verification checks are made using secondary working standards
(SWSs) (5.2) or other verification materials with a proven value.
A recommended procedure for apparatus verification using CRMs and SWSs, and the production of
SWSs, is given in Annex C.
7.5.2 The numerical values obtained during the verification check shall not be used to provide a bias
statement, nor shall they be used to make any correction to the flash points subsequently determined
using the apparatus.
7.5.3 It is good practice to select a CRM or SWS that has a certified value similar to the flash point of
products being tested.
8 Sampling
8.1 Unless otherwise specified, obtain samples for analysis in accordance with the procedures given in
ISO 3170, ISO 3171 or an equivalent national standard.

ISO 2592:2017(E)
8.2 Place samples in tightly sealed containers, appropriate to the material being sampled, and for
safety purposes, ensure that the sample container is only filled 85 % to 95 % of its capacity.
8.3 Store the samples in conditions to minimize vapour loss and pressure build up. Avoid storing the
samples at temperatures in excess of 30 °C.
9 Sample handling
9.1 Subsampling
Subsample at a temperature at least 56 °C below the expected flash point. If an aliquot of the original
sample is to be stored prior to testing, ensure that the container is filled to more than 50 % of its
capacity.
NOTE The results of flash point determinations can be affected if the sample volume falls below 50 % of the
container capacity.
9.2 Samples containing undissolved water
Flash point results can be affected by the presence of water; if a sample contains undissolved water,
decant a water-free aliquot prior to mixing.
NOTE Flash and fire point results can be affected by the presence of water, and splashing can occur.
9.3 Samples that are liquid at ambient temperature
Mix samples by gently shaking by hand prior to the removal of the test portion, taking care to minimize
the loss of volatile components, and proceed in accordance with Clause 10.
9.4 Samples that are semisolid or solid at ambient temperature
Heat the sample in its container in a heating bath or oven at a temperature not exceeding 56 °C below
the expected flash point. Ensure that high pressures do not develop in the container. Avoid overheating
the sample as this could lead to the loss of volatile components. After gentle agitation, proceed in
accordance with Clause 10.
10 Procedure for determining flash point
10.1 Samples that can form a skin during testing may be tested by removing the skin formed as described
in 10.6 to 10.8.1. An alternative procedure is given in Annex D.
10.2 Record the absolute barometric pressure using a barometer (6.4) in the vicinity of the apparatus at
the time of test.
NOTE It is not considered necessary to correct the barometric pressure reading to 0 °C, although some
barometers are designed to make this correction automatically.
10.3 Fill the test cup at ambient or elevated temperature (see 9.4) so that the top of the meniscus is level
with the filling mark. Position the test cup on the centre of the heating plate. If too much sample has been
added to the test cup, remove the excess using a pipette or other suitable device; however, if there is any
sample on the outside of the apparatus, empty, clean and refill it. Destroy or remove any air bubbles or
foam on the surface of the sample while maintaining the correct level of test portion in the test cup. If
foam persists in the final stages of the test, discard the result.

10.4 Light the test flame and adjust it to a diameter between 3,2 mm and 4,8 mm.
As a safety practice, it is strongly advised, when using automated or a manual apparatus, before heating
the test cup and test portion, to pass the test flame across the test portion in the test cup to check for
the presence of unexpected volatile material. Thereafter, it is recommended to test for a flash every
10 °C until the test portion is within 56 °C of the expected flash point.
10.5 Apply heat initially so that the rate of temperature rise of the test portion is 5 °C/min to 17 °C/min.
When the test portion temperature is approximately 56 °C below the expected flash point, decrease the
heat so that the rate of temperature rise for the last 28 °C before the expected flash point is 5 °C/min to
6 °C/min.
10.6 Avoid disturbing the vapours in the test cup by careless movements or breathing near the test cup
(see 7.1).
10.7 Apply the test flame when the temperature of the test portion is 28 °C below the expected flash
point. The test flame is applied in one direction with a smooth continuous motion, taking (1 ± 0,1) s,
to pass across the centre of the test cup, at right angles to the diameter which passes through the
thermometer, either in a straight line or along the circumference of a circle having a radius of at least
150 mm. The centre of the test flame shall move in a horizontal plane not more than 2 mm above the
plane of the upper edge of the test cup. For the next test flame application, pass the flame in the opposite
direction.
NOTE Some automated apparatus pass the test flame in one single direction.
10.8 If a flash is detected on this application of the test flame or during a preliminary application (see
10.4), discontinue the test and repeat the test using a fresh test portion with an expected flash point of at
least 28 °C below the previous test value.
10.8.1 If a skin forms over the test portion, carefully move it aside with a spatula or comb and continue
the determination.
10.8.2 If a flash has not been detected, continue applying the test flame each time thereafter at a
temperature reading that is a multiple of 2 °C.
NOTE Higher flash points have been detected when skins formed on the surfaces of test portions have not
been removed.
10.9 When testing a sample whose expected flash point temperature is not known, bring the test portion
in the test cup to a temperature no greater than 50 °C, or if the sample required heating to be transferred
into the test cup, bring the test portion in the test cup to that temperature. Apply the test flame, in the
manner described in 10.7, beginning at least 5 °C above the starting temperature. Continue heating the
test specimen at
