Completely fil! the air space between the cup and the interior of the air batch with water having the same temperature as of the material. Proceed in some manner as in 4.1 except that rate of heating is between 4 deg. To 1.5 deg. Centi. pér minute, the rate of stirring is 70-80 revolutions per minute, and the test flame to be applied ai each 0.5 deg. Centi. rise in the temperature. Note down the test results; the duplicate tests should be within the limits specified in under 4.1 (viii). DETERMINATION OF OPEN FLASH POINT AND FIRE POINT The standard Pensky — Martens tester and thermometers as Prescribed in previous method is used with slight modifications. The cover of the cup is replaced by a clip which encircles the upper rim of the cup and carriers the thermometer and test flame. The test flame is fixed at the vertical axis of the cup and in level with the upper edge of the cup
