Test Results for Ethyl 2-methylbutyrate:

- Date: 12/10/2011

- Operator: I. Livingston

- Preparation: Sample tested as received.

- SOP Reference: CTL SOP No. 412

- Apparatus: Pyrophoric Liquid System 1

 

Test Objective: To determine if a sample of Ethyl 2-methylbutyrate is a pyrophoric liquid.

 

Test Information: A small quantity of the sample (1-2 ml) was dropped from a height of approximately 1 metre onto a non-combustible surface. It was observed if the sample ignited on dropping or within 5 minutes of settling. The test was performed six times.

Test Results for Filter Paper Test:

Test Number Ignition or No ignition Charring or No charring Observations

       1                    No ignition                 No charring              No reaction

       2                    No ignition                 No charring              No reaction

       3                    No ignition                 No charring              No reaction

 

No ignition or charring was observed during any test. The sample is therefore 'Not a pyrophoric liquid'.
