Remarks on result:

other:

The sample was tested as received.

Apparatus: AIT System 2.

SOP reference: CTL SOP No. 414

The autoignition temperature of Phenyl Ethyl Acetate has been determined to be 461°C.

Hot flame autoignition temperature (AIT, °C): 461

Including correction factor for barometric pressure (°C): 460.9

Time lag to auto-ignition (s): 9

Barometric pressure (kPa): 101.7

Sample quantity (µL): 150

 

No cool flames were observed. Ignition produced a very large, orange flame followed by a small flame which burned for up to 15 seconds after the ignition.
