- Myth of Petroleum Products Flash Point  -Test Methods  Part 2 of X

What is Aviation Turbine Flash Point  ?

Answer:   can be  Jet A-1 Flash Point is 39 deg C for this batch.

But the above answer is not perfect precise answer .  Why ?

Something is missing in above answer.  What is that ?  do you need any supplementary aspects to be provided with above sentence ?

Yes,  one must mention the test method along with Value. ex. Flash Point of Jet A-1,ex Flash Point of Jet A-1 is 39 deg C   by IP-170 test method  or  41 deg by Tag method D 56.

Why the need of additional details of mentioning test method. ?  

Is result same by all Flash Point test methods like Abel  IP -170  PMCC  D93 ,  Tag ASTM 56  etc.

No,  the results are different with different test methods, this is so Flash Point value achieved by testing is a function of precise sample cup design, controlled test conditions and procedure involved with each test method very elaborately specified as can be seen in any of above mentioned test methods.

What is main difference between Flash  point test methods ?

Flash point test methods are either open cup or closed cup.  Sample volume size is different, heating rate is different, with each method its own protocol for performing. For Ex:


Closed Cup flash point result is on lower side compared to Open cup.

Abel Cup flash point is lower side than PMCC which is lower than COC  (Open Cup) as seen from following study data.


 What part of the test method decides the suitability of the particular test method.?

"Scope"  of the test method given initially in any standard test method rules the suitability of the test method.  Sometimes contractual agreement of trade rules overall in deciding which test method to be followed. This flash test methods Abel, PMCC or COC all very clearly describes in scope of respective test methods about which samples can be tested.

- Excel Formula-Density Conversion to 15 deg C,  table ASTM 53 B - 1980,    Excel sheet giving the Density 15 deg C figures from given observed Density and observed temperature for petroleum product as derived from ASTM tables 53 B. Density conversion to 15 deg C matches exactly with the ASTM conversion tables 1980. Lists of Android/iOs Apps developed on Petroleum Calculation - see here.      (These apps convert Density/API gravity exactly as per ASTM tables 5a, 5b, 6a, 6b, 23a,23b, 24a,24b, 53a,53b, 54a,54b to standard temperature 15 C,  20 C and 60 F.)   Example:  Observed density is 792 kg/Cu. M and observed temperature is 29 deg C. Corresponding 15 deg C for this set of data comes 802.2  kg/Cu. M Excel Worksheet - green color cells  observed density and observed sample temperature are variables and Red color digits are the answer - density at 15 deg C.  Apps developed on Petroleum Calculations - see here.

Lists of Android/iOs Apps developed on Petroleum Calculation - see here.      (These apps convert exactly as per ASTM tables 5a, 5b, 6a, 6b, 23a,23b, 24a,24b, 53a,53b, 54a,54b to standard temperature 15 C,  20 C and 60 F.) One follower from Kiev, Ukraine  has requested the formula for the subject conversion. The post gives a simple way to convert Density of petroleum products from ambient temperature  ( say 15 +/-7  deg C  )  to density at 15 Deg C, in line with ASTM table 53B,  without using these table and in the field with simple calculation. See my earlier post dated 18 Dec 2016, for detail description of the procedure explained there.

Density conversion to any temperature say 20 C, 15 C or any desired temperature from any observed temp Some of the countries like Russian block follow standard temperature 20 deg C as compared to Commonwealth countries which have standard temperature 15 deg C.  The calculator developed for conversion of Density from observed temperature to 20C or 15C or any desired temperature is thus very handy.   It may be noted that the calculator is for finished petroleum products and uses ASTM tables 1952 version for this conversion. For Excel Worksheet you may contact by email to  rjpatelioc2014@gmail.com and specify your clear requirement as per the title of this post.
