Flash Point Performance Evaluation

Abstract

The primary question of this program was whether ASTM D6450 CCCFP is a suitable alternative to the military referee standard, ASTM D93 Pensky-Martens. The results generated in this program over a range of relevant samples, from TS1 to F76, show that ASTM D6450 provides a reliable answer when compared to ASTM D93. There is no indication of any performance enhancement from using ASTM D93 that would warrant the additional risk of an open ignition source in the PQAS-E.
