La présente norme [AFNOR no M07-011] a pour objet de décrire une méthode de détermination du point d'éclair, en vase clos, des produits et mélanges pétroliers liquides [...] La prise d'essai contenue dans le vase d'un appareil Abel est chauffée, à l'abri des courants d'air, lentement à une vitesse uniforme. On dirige la flamme d'une veilleuse sur les vapeurs à des intervalles réguliers et on prend comme point d'éclair la plus faible température pour laquelle l'application de cette flamme provoque l'inflammation de la vapeur au-dessus de la prise d'essai. [...] L'appareil [...] comprend essentiellement : - un vase, - un couvercle, - un bain de chauffage, - les thermomètres du vase et du bain d'eau - un métronome. 4, record 1, French, - appareil%20Abel
