Designation:D817518Standard Test Method forFinite Flash Point Determination of Liquid Wastes byPensky-Martens Closed Cup Tester1This standard is issued under the fixed designation D8175;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.INTRODUCTIONThis flash point test method is a dynamic test method that depends on specified rates of heating tobe able to meet the precision of the test method.The rate of heating may not in all cases give theprecision quoted in the test method because of the low thermal conductivity of some materials.Flash point values are a function of the apparatus design,the condition of the apparatus used,andthe operational procedure carried out.Flash point can,therefore,only be defined in terms of a standardtest method,and no general valid correlation can be guaranteed between results obtained by differenttest methods or with different test apparatus.This test method,and Test Method D8174,are used to determine the flash point of liquid wastes.These procedures are primarily derived from Procedures A and B of Test Methods D93(EN ISO2719),and are informally known as Pensky-Martens.1.Scope1.1 This test method covers the procedure for a finite flashpoint test,within the range of 20 to 70 C,of liquid wastesusing a manual or automated Pensky-Martens closed cup tester.1.2 This test method contains two procedures and is appli-cable to liquid waste,liquid phase(s)of multi-phase waste,liquid waste with suspended solids,or liquid waste that tends toform a surface film under test conditions.NOTE1If the liquid waste is of a viscosity such that the subsamplevolume will not be uniformly heated under the test conditions even withthe increased stir rate of Procedure B,then use the small-scale method(Test Method D8174 for Finite Flash Point Determination of LiquidWastes by Small-Scale Closed Cup Tester).1.3 ProcedureAis applicable to non-viscous liquids that arewithout suspended solids.Procedure B is applicable to viscousliquids,liquids with suspended solids,or liquids that formfilms.NOTE2This test method is not applicable for corrosive liquid wastes(see Test Method D8174).1.4 UnitsThe values given in SI units are to be regarded asthe standard.1.5 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,health,and environmental practices and deter-mine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.Warning statements appear throughout.Also see applicableSafety Data Sheets(SDS)for information about certifiedreference materials(CRMs)or secondary working standards(SWSs)that may be used in the analysis.SDS may also beuseful if some components of the waste sample are known.1.6 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.Referenced Documents2.1 ASTM Standards:2D93 Test Methods for Flash Point by Pensky-MartensClosed Cup TesterD6299 Practice for Applying Statistical Quality Assuranceand Control Charting Techniques to Evaluate AnalyticalMeasurement System PerformanceD8174 Test Method for Finite Flash Point Determination ofLiquid Wastes by Small-Scale Closed Cup Tester1This test method is under the jurisdiction of ASTM Committee D34 on WasteManagement and is the direct responsibility of Subcommittee D34.01 on Monitor-ing and Characterization.Current edition approved March 15,2018.Published March 2018.Originallyapproved in 2018.DOI:10.1520/D8175-18.2For referenced ASTM standards,visit the ASTM website,www.astm.org,orcontact ASTM Customer Service at serviceastm.org.For Annual Book of ASTMStandards volume information,refer to the standards Document Summary page onthe ASTM website.Copyright ASTM International,100 Barr Harbor Drive,PO Box C700,West Conshohocken,PA 19428-2959.United StatesThis international standard was developed in accordance with internationally recognized principles on standardization established in the Decision on Principles for theDevelopment of International Standards,Guides and Recommendations issued by the World Trade Organization Technical Barriers to Trade(TBT)Committee.1 E502 Test Method for Selection and Use of ASTM Stan-dards for the Determination of Flash Point of Chemicalsby Closed Cup MethodsE1137/E1137M Specification for Industrial Platinum Resis-tance ThermometersE2251 Specification for Liquid-in-Glass ASTM Thermom-eters with Low-Hazard Precision Liquids2.2 ISO Standards:3ISO 17034 General Requirements for the Competence ofReference Material P
