An easy, practical method for the measurement of the upper flash point
is reported. The two small observing windows of a Seta-flash closed-cup
apparatus were closed to air. A sample was introduced into the cup,
left for 5 min, then ignited. The upper flash point could be measured
under the vapour--liquid equilibrium state by this modified procedure.
The upper flash points of 33 chemicals and three petroleum products
were determined. An empirically obtained equation (Tf = Ts + 6.42)
was used to calculate the upper flammable-limit temperature, Tf,
with 5.25 C precision, using the observed upper flash point Ts. The
temperature ranges of the cool flame zone could also be measured
using sensitive fine thermocouples.
