abstract="The closed-cup flash points of nine organic compounds and 38 organosilicon compounds are measured using a Setaflash closed-cup tester. This study demonstrates that Setaflash closed-cup tester is an effective tool for measuring the flash points of combustible liquids, especially for high-viscosity liquids. The flammability properties of these chemical compounds are determined using a cone calorimeter at a low-incident heat flux of 3 kW/m2. The results show that good correlations can be found between the closed-cup flash point and the time to ignition, the time to peak heat release rate, and the propensity to flashover. There is no good correlation between the closed-cup flash point and the peak heat release rate.<p /><p>Language: en</p>",
