- Flash Point- Density blending Calculator

- Flash Point- Density blending Calculator

Density is an additive property while Flash Point is a non-additive Property.

When two different batches are mixed,  usually this is the case when a new batch of products received in a tank having already some of the remaining product of earlier batch.

The calculator is very handy to predict the likely flash point of commingled / mixed product. 

Also, this can be used to know the quantity of new batch to be blended/required to get the desired flash point when the earlier product is having undesired flash point. 

Industry has to manage many products batches having slightly less than the specification flash point, resulted due to small contamination of volatile product like naphtha, gasoline etc in Kerosene, Jet fuel, diesel fuel etc.  Example is given in the second image below:

Flash point Calculator may not give correct blend value if one of the products has significant contamination of volatile hydrocarbons,  resulting into heterogeneous mixture.
