Abstract

For this paper, the authors studied the behavior of castor oil, when it accidentally reaches a hot surface. Thus, the lowest temperature at which castor oil ignited at least once in three tests and the highest temperature at which castor oil did not ignite in three tests were determined. To determine as accurately as possible these two temperatures, a total of 29 tests were performed. The procedure complies with ISO 20823:2018 Petroleum and related products -Determination of the flammability characteristics of fluids in contact with hot surfaces - Manifold ignition test.
