Scope

I.I These test methods cover the determination of the flash point by Pensky-Martens dosed-cup tester or fuel oils, lube oils, suspensions of solids, liquids that tend to form a surface film under test conditions, and other liquids of similar viscosities. NOTE I—This lest method CM be employed for the detection of contamination of lubricating oils by tninor imounti of volatile materials. Norc 2—The VS. Department of Traastmtatioa (DOT)* md VS. Department of Ubor (OSHA) have ewiNished that liquids with a fash point under IOOT (37JTC, are Oammabk at determined by methods for thoscliquio^wiiichhaveavrKMryof}.lcSlornMircat IOOT(37TO or 9.J cSt or more at 7TT (2TQ. or that contain luaniwhrl solids, or have a tendency to fonn a surface film while under test. Other Classification flash points have been established by these departments for liquids using this test. These regulations are ia degrees Fahrenheit. 1.2 Liquids having viscosities less than 5.5 cSt at 40*C (KMT) do not contain suspended solids or do not have a tendency to form a surface film while under test conditions can be tested in accordance with Test Method D 56. 1.3 The values stated in SI units shall be retarded as the ■ methods are under the jurisdinic* of ASTM Committee D-2 oa Petroleum Products and Lubricants and arc the direct mpuiauihi) of Subcommittee D02.M on Volatility In the IP, that methods art under the ninadicuoa of the Standardization Committee.
