Fuel Flash Point Test

How to test various fuels, petrol,kerosene,diesel and biodiesel for flash point, ie. the minimum temperature at which the fuel will ignite in the presence of a flame.

I had a hard time understanding flash points of fuels, this totally explained it to me. <3

Flash point is when the fluid is hot enough that the vapor from it ignites from an external source momentarily but is not sustained. Fire point is when the fire sustains for 5 seconds or more. So from this video, i would guess the flash point is between 30C and 35C, and the fire point is between 35C and 40C.

This is causing some confusion for me because the flash point is supposedly 37C to 65C.

Yes, great illustration, I totally agree with Derek Desjardins comments about Flashpoint and Fire point.

Thanks for showing such a simple way of ascertaining flash point temperature.

This should have far more viewings great video and thanks for posting 👍

another great video by Imakebiodiesel. Informative and straight to the point.
Thanks john.

Now I understood, what is flash point? Thank you very much.🇮🇳

Thank you so much for showing this exp. i was trying to find out manual experiment . hopefully it will be useful for my sample

I came here after the crash of Delta Airlines flight 4819 in Toronto. The jet fuel (which is kerosene) didn’t catch fire and I think this is why. It was probably too cold to catch fire in the Canadian winter. Thankfully all passengers and crew survived.

Modern nice video bro I am in love with you and your project like this I want to check the flash point and this is the best video I have ever seen so thank you again for giving this video to us

The oil sample is heated and temperature at which distinct flash is obtained when the flame is passed over the container is called FLASH POINT

Gaming documentary and biodiesel. That voice goes with anything!

[dr.acharyacreation]

Really it is easy to determine fire point, Video is helpful

[Venom-en]

Very good, simple and practical. Can you do also what they called closed cap test.

[AA-xegg]

Thnx for clarifying the concept of Flash Point.

Hi john how can I test my bio to see if I have removed enough methanol before I put in into my Transit van ? I use a dry method, don’t like the idea of using water . Thank you

[personalone]

Great video, quite easy to understand.

[nandaratnayakka]

very good explanation  easy to understand.Thank you

[bonnietaken]

so for flash point means fat will catch fire on the pan right?

[willemrossouw]

Wonderlike video! Baie dankie! Nou verstaan ek ook.
