What is the standard flash point for diesel?
1 Answers
Diesel fuel has a flash point above 55°C (national standard). Below is an introduction to related content: 1. Flash point introduction: The flash point is an indicator of diesel evaporation and safety performance. If the flash point is too low, it indicates that the diesel is mixed with a small amount of light oil, which can cause rough engine operation and pose significant safety hazards during diesel storage, transportation, use, and after traffic accidents. Therefore, the national standard strictly stipulates that the flash point must be >55°C. 2. Types of flash points: The open flash point is the result measured using a specified open flash point tester and is expressed in °C. It is commonly used to test lubricating oils. The closed flash point is the result measured using a specified closed flash point tester and is expressed in °C. It is commonly used to test kerosene, diesel, transformer oil, etc.
