9、he direction of the Petroleum Standards Committee and the Pigments, Paints and Varnishes Standards Committee. They are identical with ISO1516-1981 “Paints, varnishes, petroleum and related products Flash/no flash test Closed cup equilibrium method”, published by the International Organization for St
10、andardization (ISO). ISO1516 was prepared as a result of discussions in ISO Technical Committee28, Petroleum products and lubricants, and ISO Technical Committee35, Paints and varnishes, in which the UK participated. This Part of BS3900 supersedes BS3900-A8:1976, which is withdrawn. This revision co
11、ntains only minor technical changes from the previous edition of BS3900-A8, and it essentially constitutes an editorial revision to enable the test procedure which was applicable to paints, varnishes and related products to be equally applicable to petroleum and similar products. To ensure that this
12、 additional applicability is not overlooked by its publication within BS3900, covering methods of test for paints, this standard is also published as Part1 of BS6664, covering flashpoint of petroleum and related products. Initially BS6664 will consist of four Parts which are identical with four inte
13、rnational standards prepared jointly by ISO/TC28 and ISO/TC35, which correspond as follows: Additional Parts may eventually be added to BS6664, if appropriate.

30、 sets out one of two methods for carrying out the flash/no flash test for paints, varnishes, petroleum and related products, and it should be read in conjunction with ISO3680 when selecting a method. This method of test does not determine the flashpoint of the product under test, but merely its beha
31、viour at the selected equilibrium temperature as may be required to comply with laws or regulations relating to the storage, transport and use of flammable products. For this purpose it is unnecessary to determine the exact flashpoint but it is necessary to determine whether or not flashing occurs a
32、t a single given temperature. By the procedure specified, differences between test apparatus of various standard designs are minimized by ensuring that the test is carried out only when the product under test and the air/vapour mixture above it in the test vessel are exactly in temperature equilibri
33、um. NOTEThe determination of the exact flashpoint using the same equipment is given in ISO1523. 1 Scope and field of application This International Standard specifies a method to determine if a flammable material such as a paint, varnish, paint binder, solvent, petroleum or a related product, when m
34、aintained at a selected equilibrium temperature and under the conditions of the test, gives off sufficient flammable vapour at this temperature to cause ignition on application of an external source of flame applied in a standard manner. The method is suitable for use over the temperature range5 to6
35、5 C, although some of the apparatus listed in Annex A cannot cover all of this range using the thermometer supplied with the apparatus. The procedure also makes allowance for deviations from standard atmospheric pressure. 2 References ISO1512, Paints and varnishes Sampling. ISO1513, Paints and varni

ISO3680, Paints, varnishes, petroleum and related products Flash/no flash test Rapid equilibrium method. 3 Principle The test portion is heated in a suitably designed closed cup in a suitable water-bath. The ignition trial is carried out after the test portion has been maintained
38、 under equilibrium conditions for atleast10 min at the selected equilibrium temperature. This procedure ensures that the air/vapour space above the test portion has attained the saturation concentration of flammable vapour before the ignition trial is performed. The test report records whether the t
39、est portion flashed or did not flash. 4 Apparatus 4.1 Test cup: A closed cup with an internal level indicator; the closed cups specified in a number of national standards satisfy the necessary requirements (see Annex A). If a stirrer is fitted to the test cup used, it may be operated during the heat
40、ing-up period but shall be stopped during the ignition trial. If a stirrer originally fitted to the test cup is removed, the aperture in the cover shall be securely plugged before starting the test. Essentially, the test cup shall be fitted with a tightly fitting cover which carries an opening slide
41、 and an ignition device capable, when the slide is open, of inserting an ignition flame (diameter3,5 0,5mm); when inserted, the nozzle of the ignition device shall be1 1mm above the underside of the cover. The equipment is such that an ignition trial can be performed by opening the slide, inserting
42、and removing the nozzle of the ignition device, and closing the slide again in a period of2,5 0,5s. Amechanically driven device for doing this is permitted. The source of flame in the ignition device may be any suitable flammable gas. 4.2 Water-bath, capable of being adjusted to the required tempera
43、ture (see6.1), and of adequate heat capacity to meet the requirements of6.3. A bath fitted with a stirrer and thermostat of suitable range is convenient. 4.3 Thermometers The test cup shall be fitted with a thermometer of appropriate range and dimensions, which when immersed in the test portion meas
44、ures its temperature within a maximum error of0,5 C. Athermometer having a graduation at each0,5 C is recommended. 3) At present at the stage of draft. (Revision of ISO1523-1973.)BS3900-A8:1986 BS 6664-1:1986 2 BSI 04-1999 The water-bath shall be fitted with a thermometer of equal precision. When re
45、quired, the accuracy of the thermometers shall be checked against a reference standard by an authorized laboratory using the stipulated immersion. 4.4 Support, for holding the test cup in the water-bath so that the cover and upper edge are horizontal. The cup is immersed in direct contact with the w
46、ater in such a position that the level of the test portion in the cup is the same as that of the water in the water-bath (see the Figure). 5 Sampling and sample treatment 5.1 Take a representative sample of the product to be tested using the appropriate sampling procedure for the product concerned.
47、References to sampling procedures for various products are given in Annex B. The sample shall be kept in an air-tight container until it is to be tested. The ullage, i.e.the air-space above the contents of the container, shall not be more than10% of the total capacity of the container. NOTESamples s
48、hould not be stored in plastics (polyethylene, polypropylene, etc.) bottles since volatile material may diffuse through the walls of the bottle. 5.2 Because of the possibility of loss of volatile constituents, the sample container shall be cooled to at least10 C below the selected equilibrium temper
49、ature before opening it to remove the test portion. The sample shall receive only the minimum mixing treatment to ensure uniformity. After removal of the test portion, the sample container shall immediately be tightly closed to ensure that loss of volatile flammable components from the container is minimized. If this is not carried out, the product sample shall be deemed unsuitable for further testing.
