AMETEK Grabner Instruments Flashpont Method Accepted for ASTM Diesel Fuel Specifications

Vienna, Austria, February 2014-- In December 2013, ASTM cleared the way for the new age in flashpoint testing. ASTM members voted to accept D7094 as a new method for testing diesel, fuel oils and kerosene according to the ASTM specifications D975, D396, D2880 and D3699. The positive impact of the new method on costs, safety and on resolving environmental issues will be impressive.  A quick look at the new method reveals some obvious benefits. D7094 requires only 2 mL of sample. This is a big advantage for laboratory safety and minimizes the amount of hazardous waste. Thermoelectric
