    Flash and Fire Point

    Uploaded by

    The document describes procedures for determining the flash point and fire point of fuels using two different apparatuses: 1) The Abel apparatus involves heating a fuel sample in a brass cup with water, directing a test flame into the fuel once it reaches a certain temperature to find the flash point, then continuing to heat it to determine the fire point. 2) The Pensky Marten apparatus also involves heating a fuel sample in a brass cup to determine its flash point and fire point by directing a flame into it at certain temperatures and recording when the fuel ignites and sustains burning.

    FLASH AND FIRE POINT ABEL APPARATUS

    Aim:
    To find out the flash and fire point of the given fuel.
    Apparatus required:
    1. Thermometers.
    2. Abel apparatus.
    Procedure:
    1. Fill the water in the water chamber and place the thermometer in it.
    2. The sample of fuel is filled in the brass cup.
    3. Cover the brass cup and place the thermometer in it.
    4. Switch on the water heater.
    5. Heat is transferred from water to fuel.
    6. Stir the water to have a uniform distribution of heat.
    7. A small test flame is directed in to the fuel.
    8. At particular temperature, the oil surface gets fire and immediately shut down.
    9. Note down the temperature at this stage. This temperature is known as flash point.
    10. Again heat the fuel, the temperature will increase.
    11. At particular temperature, the fuel surface gets fire and continuously.
    12. Note this temperature. This temperature is called fire point.
    13. Tabulate the readings.
