In thermodynamics, the triple point of a substance is the temperature and pressure at which the three phases (gas, liquid, and solid) of that substance coexist in thermodynamic equilibrium. For example, the triple point of mercury occurs at a temperature of â38.83440 Â°C and a pressure of 0.2 m Pa.
Flash Point Determination. The flash point of a liquid is the lowest temperature at which sufficient vapor is evolved to form a flammable mixture in air at standard atmospheric pressure. The flash point provides a simple, convenient index for assessing the flammability of a wide variety of materials. Chilworth generally measures flash points in accordance with American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) Method D93-94 using the Pensky-Martens Closed Cup apparatus.
