Preliminary Test

An approximate value of the ignition temperature of the test item was first determined by a preliminary test. The results are summarized in the following table. An “ignition” is indicated as “+” and “no ignition” as “-“. 5 drops were added into the Erlenmeyer flask at each temperature. In the preliminary test, an ignition was observed at 306 °C.

Regulation EC No. 440/2008 and DIN 51794: The auto-ignition temperature rounded down to the nearest multiple of 5 °C was determined as 290 °C.

 

 

Final Results

The test item has an auto-ignition temperature of 290 °C according to the Regulation EC No. 440/2008 Method A.15. Auto-Ignition Temperature (Liquids and Gases) and DIN 51794 (2003): Determination of Ignition Temperature.

Conclusions:
An auto-ignition temperature value of 290 °C (at ca. 1004 hPa) was determined for the test item according to E.U. Method A.15.
