Flash point
Administrative data
Link to relevant study record(s)
- Endpoint:
- flash point, other
- Type of information:
- experimental study
- Adequacy of study:
- key study
- Study period:
- 1999
- Reliability:
- 2 (reliable with restrictions)
- Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
- test procedure in accordance with national standard methods with acceptable restrictions
- Qualifier:
- according to guideline
- Guideline:
- ASTM D56 (Standard test method for flash point by tag closed cup tester)
- Version / remarks:
- ASTM D56-96, "Standard Test Method for Flash Point by Tag Closed Tester".
- Deviations:
- not specified
- GLP compliance:
- no
- Type of method:
- closed cup
- Flash point apparatus:
- Tag apparatus
- Specific details on test material used for the study:
- The mixture were prepared by Great Lakes Chemical Corporation and tested in the "as received state".
- Key result
- Flash point:
- > 35.3 °F
- Remarks on result:
- other: Atm. press. not specified in the study report.
- Conclusions:
- Flash point temperature tests were performed on Great Lakes Chemicals Bromide samples per ASTM D56-96, "Standard Test Method for Flash Point By Tag Closed Tester". One material showed a flash point, while for the other two materials no flash point was observed. However, there are instances where the absence of flash point does not ensure freedom from flammability.
As a result of flame quenching effect, some materials require larger diameters for flame propagation than those of the above test apparatus. They might not exhibit any flash point, but evolve vapors that will propagate a flame in adequate vessel size. - Executive summary:
Tag Closed Cup tests were performed on N-butyl Bromide . The tests were conducted from low temperature (lower than -90 °F) up to either the flash point or the boiling point temperature of each material (sample temperature).
The N-butyl Bromide material exhibited a flash point at +35 °F.
