into the tightly closed small scale tester or directly into the cup which has been brought to within
3 °C (5 °F) below the expected flash point.
2.2 As a flash/no-flash test, the expected flash-point temperature may be a specification
(e.g., 60 °C). For specification testing, the temperature of the apparatus is raised to the precise
temperature of the specification flash point by slight adjustment of the temperature dial. After 1
minute, a test flame is applied inside the cup and note is taken as to whether the test sample
flashes or not. If a repeat test is necessary, a fresh sample should be used.
2.3 For a finite flash management, the temperature is sequentially increased through the
anticipated range, the test flame being applied at 5 °C (9 °F) intervals until a flash is observed. A
repeat determination is then made using a fresh sample, starting the test at the temperature of the
last interval before the flash point of the material and making tests at increasing 0.5°C (1°F)
intervals.
