CORRELATION OF APPARATUS FOR MEASURING FLASH POINT OF SOLVENTS

THERE ARE IN USE AT LEAST 6 DIFFERENT TYPE OF FLASH POINT TESTERS. THESE DIFFER WITHIN TYPES AS EITHER CLOSED OR OPEN. DIFFERENT RESULTS GIVEN BY EACH APPARATUS FOR THE SAME VOLATILE FLAMMABLE LIQUID ARE CONFUSING TO THE USER OF FLASH POINT. THE OBJECT OF THIS PAPER IS TO DETERMINE IF A CORRELATION EXISTS BETWEEN THE COMMON TESTERS. THIS KNOWLEDGE WILL ENABLE THE USER TO CLOSELY APPROXIMATE THE FLASH POINT OF A PARTICULAR PAINT SOLVENT ON OTHER APPARATUS. CLASSES OF SOLVENTS WERE TESTED ON 7 DIFFERENT TESTERS.
