5 Glossary
5.1 For the purposes of this standard, the following definitions apply.
5.2 AUTO-IGNITION TEMPERATURE – The minimum temperature at which fuel-air mixtures will ignitespontaneously.This temperature is to be determined either at atmospheric pressure (14.7 psig), or at themaximum pressure present in the area of the fuel-air mixture，whichever is higher. At atmosphericpressure, the auto-ignition temperature of a solvent shall be determined in accordance with the StandardTest Method for Auto-lgnition Temperature of Liquid Chemicals，ASTM E 659.
5.3 COMBUSTIBLE LIQUID – A material that has a fluidity greater than 300 penetration asphalt whentested in accordance with the Standard Test Method for Penetration for Bituminous Materials,ASTMD 5,and that has a closed cup flash point at or above 37.8°C(100°F).Combustible liquids are subdivided asfollows:
a)Class ll liquids include those having flash points at or above 37.8°C and below 60C (140°F);
b) Class lllA liquids include those having flash points at or above 60C and below 93 ℃ (200°F);and
c) Class lB liquids include those having flash points at or above 93°℃.
