Description
The flash point testing equipment enables easy and quick verification of flash point of marine fuels delivered and/or stored on board a vessel. According to SOLAS and ISO 8217:2017, the flash point of marine fuels has to be minimum 60°C. If the flash point is lower, this can be due to some low flash point components used for fuel oil refining and blending processes of very low sulphur fuel oils (VLSFOs) or indicate fuel dilution in engine oil, thus increasing a risk of spontaneous fire and/or explosion. The device is based on Pensky-Martens Closed Cup Flash Point method. Field-tested and approved by the German Navy, the device allows determination of the flash point in diesel fuel, biodiesel and gas oils in accordance with ISO 2719 DIN EN 22719 and ASTM D-93 test methods. Precision in measurement is achieved through simulation of real-life conditions of accidental exposure of a storage tank to an ignition source. A small amount of oil sample is heated in the closed cup test device to the temperature of about 20°C below the expected flash point and then subjected to small flame with the help of the ignition tool. The sample is checked for inflammability with 1°C temperature increase interval. As soon as the inflammation of gas occurs (i.e., a flash appears), the lowest temperature is registered as the flash point of the sample.
