DIRECTIONS FOR APPLYING THE FLASHING TEST TO
SAMPLES OF REFINED MINERAL OILS.

The vessel which is to hold the oil is to be of thin sheet iron. It shall be two inches deep and two inches wide at the opening, tapering slightly towards the bottom: it shall have a flat rim with a raised edge one quarter of an inch high round the top; it shall be supported by this rim in a tin vessel four inches and a half deep and four and a half inches in diameter; it shall also have a thin wire stretched across the opening, which wire shall be so fixed to the edge of the vessel that it shall be a quarter of an inch above the surface of the flat rim. The thermometer to be used shall have a round bulb about half an inch in diameter, and is to be graduated upon the scale of Fahrenheit, every ten degrees occupying not less than half an inch upon the scale. The inner vessel shall be filled with the mineral oil to be tested, but care must be taken that the liquid does not cover the flat rim. The outer vessel shall be filled with cold or nearly cold water. A small flame shall be applied to the bottom of the outer vessel, and the thermometer shall be inserted into the oil so that the bulb shall be immersed about one and a half inch beneath the surface; a screen of pasteboard or wood shall be placed around the apparatus, and shall be of such dimensions as to surround it about two-thirds and to reach several inches above the level of the vessels. When heat has been applied to the water until the thermometer has risen about ninety degrees Fahrenheit, a very small flame shall be quickly passed across the surface of the oil on a level with the wire. If no pale-blue flicker or flash is produced, the application of the flame is to be repeated for every rise of two or three degrees in the thermometer. When the flashing-point has been noted, the test shall be repeated with a fresh sample of the oil, using cold or nearly cold water as before, withdrawing the source of heat from the outer vessel when the temperature approaches that noted in the first experiment and applying the flame test at every rise of two degrees in the thermometer.
