1 Introduction
The Koehler K47001 Autoignition Apparatus is
used to determine the hot and cool flame
autoignition temperatures of a liquid in air at
atmospheric pressure in a uniformly heated
vessel. The temperatu
res at which ‘cool flame’ and
‘hot flame’ ignitions occur, as evidenced by
sudden temperature increases in the sample flask,
are measured and recorded, and the delay time
between introduction of the sample and ignition is
timed.
This manual provides important information
regarding safety, technical reference, installation
requirements, operating condition specifications,
user facility resource requirements, and operating
instructions
for
the
Koehler
Autoignition
Apparatus. This manual should also be used in
conjunction with applicable published laboratory
procedures. Information on these procedures is
given in section 1.2.
