A

Drawoff level

35
Q

What is the purpose to swirl a sample bottle to form a vortex in the fuel?

A

To remove any sediment that might clean to the bottle interior so it accumulates under the vortex

36

NAVIFLASH and Pensky-Martens testers is
the method used to ignite combustible vapors
signifying flashpoint. The Pensky-Martens
uses a flame, what is used in the NAVIFLASH
method?

A

The NAVIFLASH tester uses an electric spark.

62
Q

The NAVIFLASH method, performs the
flashpoint test essentially “hands-off”. It is a
very sensitive piece of equipment and does
require calibration. What is used to calibrate
the NAVIFLASH tester?
