BS EN ISO 13736:2013 pdf download – Determination of flash point — Abel closed-cup method (ISO 13736:2013) This International Standard specifies a method for the determination of the manual and automatedclosed-cup flash point of combustible liquids having flash points between -30,0°Cto 75,0 °C.However,the precision given for this method is only valid for flash points in the range -8,5 Cto 75,0 °c. This International Standard is not applicable to water-borne paints. NOTE 1 Water-borne paints can be tested using IS0 3679.[3] NOTE 2See 9.1 for the importance of this test in avoiding loss of volatile materials. NOTE3 Liquids containing halogenated compounds can give anomalous results. NOTE4 The thermometer specified for the manual apparatus limits the upper test temperature to 70,0°c. 2Normative references The following referenced documents, in whole or in part, are normatively referenced in this documentand are indispensable for its application.For dated references,only the edition cited applies.For undatedreferences, the latest edition of the referenced document (including any amendments) applies.

Thetemperature is corrected to standard atmospheric pressure using an equation. 5 Chemicals and materials 5.1Cleaning solvent, for the removal of traces of sample from the test cup and cover. NOTE The choice of solvent depends upon the previous material tested, and the tenacity of the residue.Low volatility aromatic (benzene-free) solvents can be used to remove traces of oil, and mixed solvents can beefficacious for the removal of gum-type deposits. 5.2 Coolant, water, ethanediol (ethylene glycol), glycerol or silicone...
