Flash and Fire Point Test.

Our Services

Safety & Volatility Assessment of Bituminous Materials

Flash and Fire Point Test of Bitumen is performed to determine the temperature at which bitumen vapours ignite momentarily (flash point) and the temperature at which sustained combustion occurs (fire point). These parameters are critical for safe heating, storage, transportation, and application of bitumen during asphalt production and paving operations.

Why Flash & FireMatters.

Ensures Safety During Heating and Handling

The test defines safe temperature limits, reducing risks of fire hazards during bitumen heating and mixing operations.

Controls Asphalt Plant and Site Operations

Knowing flash and fire points helps operators maintain heating temperatures within safe margins during production and laying.

Indicates Volatility and Quality of Bitumen

Abnormally low flash or fire points may indicate contamination or excessive volatile components, affecting performance and safety.

Ensures Compliance With Standards and Specifications

Testing verifies conformity with IS standards and MoRTH specifications, enabling acceptance for road and highway projects.
