Designation: D7094 − 17Standard Test Method forFlash Point by Modif i ed Continuously Closed Cup(MCCCFP) Tester 1This standard is issued under the f i xed designation D7094; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or, in the case of revision, the year of last revision. A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. Asuperscript epsilon (´) indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1. Scope*1.1 This test method covers the determination of the f l ashpoint of fuels, lube oils, solvents, and other liquids by acontinuously closed cup tester utilizing a specimen size of2 mL, cup size of 7 mL, with a heating rate of 2.5 °C perminute.1.1.1 Apparatus requiring a specimen size of 1 mL, cup sizeof 4 mL, and a heating rate of 5.5 °C per minute must be runaccording to Test Method D6450.1.2 This f l ash point test method is a dynamic method anddepends on def i nite rates of temperature increase. It is one ofthe many f l ash point test methods available and every f l ashpoint test method, including this one, is an empirical method.N OTE 1—Flash point values are not a constant physical chemicalproperty of materials tested. They are a function of the apparatus design,the condition of the apparatus used, and the operational procedure carriedout. Flash point can, therefore, only be def i ned in terms of a standard testmethod and no general valid correlation can be guaranteed between resultsobtained by different test methods or where different test apparatus isspecif i ed.1.3 This test method utilizes a closed but unsealed cup withair injected into the test chamber.1.4 This test method is suitable for testing samples with af l ash point from 35 °C to 225 °C.N OTE 2—Flash point determinations below 35 °C and above 225 °Cmay be performed; however, the precision has not been determined belowand above these temperatures.1.5 If the user’s specif i cation requires a def i ned f l ash pointmethod other than this method, neither this method nor anyother test method should be substituted for the prescribed testmethod without obtaining comparative data and an agreementfrom the specif i er.1.6 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded asstandard. No other units of measurement are included in thisstandard. Temperatures are in degrees Celsius, pressure inkilo-Pascals.1.7 This standard does not purport to address all of thesafety concerns, if any, associated with its use. 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. For specif i cwarning statements, see 7.2, 8.5, and 10.1.2.1.8 This international standard was developed in accor-dance with internationally recognized principles on standard-ization established in the Decision on Principles for theDevelopment of International Standards, Guides and Recom-mendations issued by the World Trade Organization TechnicalBarriers to Trade (TBT) Committee.2.
