WARNING - The use of this standard may involve hazardous materials, operations and equipment. This standard does not purport to address all of the safety problems associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this International Standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.
1 Scope
This standard specifies a procedure for the determination of flash and fire points of petroleum products using the Cleveland open cup apparatus. It is applicable to petroleum products having an open cup flash point above 79 °C, except fuel oils, which are most commonly tested in according to G/B T 261.
Note: Flash point and fire point are indications of the ability of a substance to form a flammable mixture with air under controlled conditions, and then to support combustion. They are only two of a number of properties that may contribute towards the assessment of overall flammability and combustibility of a material.

3 Terms and Definitions
For the purposes of this standard, the following terms and definitions apply.
3.1 Flash point
Lowest temperature of the test portion, corrected to a barometric pressure of 101.3 kPa, at which application of a test flame causes the vapor of the test portion to ignite and the flame to propagate across the surface of the liquid, under the specified conditions of test
3.2 Fire point
Lowest temperature of the test portion, corrected to a barometric pressure of 101,3 kPa, at which application of a test flame causes the vapor of the test portion to ignite and sustain burning for a minimum of 5 s under the specified conditions of test.
