Flash Points:

Lubriport performs several methods

Open and closed cup, from 32F to 700 F

 

Definition:

Flash points are run to determine volatility of petroleum products.

It is a measure of the temperature to which  a sample must be heated under specific conditions to produce a flammable mixture of vapor and air.

 

Purpose:

 Results of flash points can be used to detect contamination of fuels and lubes.   A reduced flash point and viscosity on an engine lube suggests dilution with fuel, possibly caused by leaking injectors, fuel lines, general poor condition of equipment, or improper operating conditions.  Low flash on a diesel or kerosene often caused by contamination with gasoline during transport or storage.

 

New engine oils usually flash above 400 F, some at over 500 F.

Fuels have an expected flash range:

Gasoline <0 F,

100<Kerosene<150 F,

125<diesel<200,

140 F < heavy fuels
