Designation:D817418Standard Test Method forFinite Flash Point Determination of Liquid Wastes by Small-Scale Closed Cup Tester1This standard is issued under the fixed designation D8174;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.INTRODUCTIONFlash 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 D8175,are used to determine the flash point of liquid wastes.This procedure is primarily derived from Method B of Test Methods D3828(EN ISO 3679 and IP523)and is informally known in federal and other regulations as the Setaflash method.1.Scope1.1 This test method covers the procedure for a flash pointtest,within the range of 20 to 70 C,of liquid wastes using asmall-scale closed cup tester.NOTE1Some apparatus are not designed for subambient temperaturetests,so the testing range would be between 20 C and 70 C.NOTE2This test method is not applicable for liquid waste that formsa surface film(see Test Method D8175 for Finite Flash Point Determina-tion of Wastes by Pensky-Martens Closed Cup Tester).1.2 UnitsThe values stated in SI units are to be regardedas the standard.No other units of measurement are included inthis standard.1.3 This standard measures the ignitability properties ofliquid wastes(which may be any discarded material),whichmay include secondary materials,off-specification products,and materials containing free liquids recovered during emer-gency response actions.Results from this test method may beused as part of a fire risk assessment of the material,but it is theresponsibility of the user to perform any additional character-ization needed for determination of storage,transport,treatment,or disposal per current regulations.1.4 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.See applicable SafetyData Sheets(SDS)for information about certified referencematerials(CRMs)or secondary working standards(SWSs)thatmay be used in this test method.SDS may also be useful ifsome components of the waste sample are known.1.5 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:2D3828 Test Methods for Flash Point by Small Scale ClosedCup TesterD6299 Practice for Applying Statistical Quality Assuranceand Control Charting Techniques to Evaluate AnalyticalMeasurement System PerformanceD7236 Test Method for Flash Point by Small Scale ClosedCup Tester(Ramp Method)D8175 Test Method For Finite Flash Point Determination ofLiquid Wastes by Pensky-Martens Closed Cup TesterE502 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 Thermometers1This 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/D8174-18.2For 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 2.2 ISO Standards:3ISO 17034 General Requirements for the Competence ofReference Material ProducersISO Guide 35 Reference MaterialsGeneral and StatisticalPrinciples for CertificationEN ISO 3679 Determination of Flash No-Flash and FlashPointRapid Equilibrium Closed Cup MethodISO 60751 Industrial Platinum Resi
