Asuperscript epsilon () indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1. Scope1.1 This test method covers a small-scale laboratory proce-dure to determine the self heating t
3、endency of oil-basedmaterials by exposure to elevated temperatures in air in acontrolled semi-adiabatic system.1.2 This test method has been developed to address anurgent need to identify oil-based materials that may requirelabeling for spontaneous heating tendency. Studies based onthis test method
4、may allow the development of a practice toidentify such oil-based materials.1.3 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded asstandard. The values given in parentheses are for informationonly.1.4 This standard does not purport to address all of thesafety concerns, if any, associated with its us
5、e. It is theresponsibility of the user of this standard to establish appro-priate safety and health practices and determine the applica-bility of regulatory limitations prior to use.

9、ing of an experiment.4. Summary of Test Method4.1 A non-woven paper cloth is covered uniformly in 9.0mL of test material mixed with 0.25 mL of 6 to 10 %manganese drier. This covered pad is then put in a smallstainless steel holder with air holes in the sides. This holder isplaced in a larger chamber
10、, which is opened to the air from thetop and heated until peak temperature is reached. The maxi-mum spontaneous heating temperature inside the soaked papercloth is recorded with a K thermocouple and maximumtemperature recorder with the base temperature adjusted to 706 2C.5. Significance and Use5.1 T
11、his test method provides a means of accelerating thetendency of a material toward spontaneous heating that mayeventually lead to a fire. It is applicable to liquids and pastes.5.2 The spontaneous heating behavior of an oil-based ma-terial is affected by such factors as the availability of oxygen,the
12、 amount of driers present, the degree of polymerization ofoils, the surface area of the cellulose material, measures toprevent heat dissipation, and the amount of oil in contact withcellulose material. The degree of spontaneous heating bearslittle relationship to the type of cellulose material to wh

Hanging contaminated rags out to “dry” isineffective at decreasing risk.4In order to prevent unexpectedfires, store water-damped contaminated rags in a metal con-tainer with an air-tight top. Alternately, washing
