The standard BS EN ISO 1516-2002 (R2004) Test method for petroleum and petroleum products flash point/no flash point determination, closed cup equilibrate method specifies a method for determining the flash point of petroleum and petroleum products using closed cup equilibrate method. This method is suitable for the determination of liquid flash points, especially in the security evaluation of petroleum products and similar substances. This value is determined by placing the liquid sample in a closed cup and by controlling the temperature to gradually increase, when the vapor of the sample reaches a flash point that is mixed with the outside air and can be ignited. The closed cup method makes the flash point measurement of the sample more accurate by restricting the exchange of air, which can effectively prevent the danger in the high temperature environment. This standard provides a unified and reliable technical basis for the flash point testing of petroleum and petroleum products.
