They said due to the illegal sale of adulterated diesel in the country, the national exchequer had faced around Rs20 billion loss in only four months, adding that the flash point of diesel imported by PSO on 3rd September, 8th August and 26th July stood at 90, 94, and 90 respectively.

The standard test method ASTM D 1298 was applied for the laboratory determination of density, relative density and specific gravity of the biodiesel samples while ASTM D 93 was followed to determine the flash point. The acid constituents were calculated under the designation ASTM D 664.

Fig 1.1 below is a plot of flash point versus volume of mixture (gasoline/kerosene).The flash point of gasoline in its pure state is 35[degrees]c as shown in the plot.

As the development of flash point is driven by both the physical and chemical behaviors (vaporization and combustion) of the compound, the aforementioned results elucidate the influence of electrostatic properties and the necessity of considering such effects in explaining the chemical behaviors in FP development.

Activists reported military operations and sweeping arrests in flash point areas including Idlib near the Turkish border and the eastern city of Deir el-Zour.

Washington, Aug 5 (ANI): A debate over an aid plan for Pakistan has led to a new flash point in the relationship between the US and Pakistan over demands that it should be cut to determine transparency on the part of Pakistan and also to find out whether Islamabad is really fighting terrorism.

But police said the busy street was a flash point for violence as revellers poured out of pubs and looked for a late night snack.

The properties of fuels may be split into several groups: the first one is represented by operational properties such as fuel octane number or properties determining the durability and chemical stability or the chemical composition of fuels, the second group includes properties related to the safety of fuels within transportation and storage such as flash point and the third one, which appears to be the largest, covers properties related to environmental requirements such as sulphur content.

One common laboratory method for the analysis of fuels is flash point analysis.
