To remain competitive, today’s refiners must employ all optimization and product control techniques available. The use of online physical property analyzers is one of the key features to reach those objectives because they measure important quality properties in the process directly. The flash point temperature is defined as the lowest temperature at which application of an ignition source causes the vapor of specimen of the sample to ignite under specified conditions of test.
