Abstract

In order to investigate the compatibility of data in MSDS(Material Safety Data Sheet), the flash point of xylene isomer was measured by using Pensky-Martens closed cup (ASTM D93), Setaflash closed cup(ASTM D3278), Tag open cup(ASTM D1310), and Cleveland open cup (ASTM D92) testers. Also, the AITs(autoignition temperatures) of xylene isomers were measured by using ASTM E659-78 tester. The measured the flash points and the AITs were compared with literatures and MSDS in KOSHA(Korea Occupational Safety and Health Agency). The measured the flash points and the AITs were different from those in literatures and MSDS. As a result, this paper is shown that it is needed to investigate combustion characteristics of xylene isomer for the fire safety objectives.

MSDS 자료의 적정성을 고찰하기 위해 크실렌 이성질체에 대해 Pensky-Martens 밀폐식(ASTM D93), Setaflash 밀폐식(ASTM D3278), Tag 개방식(ASTM D1310), Cleveland 개방식(ASTM D92) 장치 등을 이용하여 인화점을 측정하였으며, 또한 최소자연발화온도는 ASTM E659-78장치를 사용하여 측정하고, 문헌값들과 한국산업안전보건공단의 MSDS 자료와 비교하였다. 그 결과, 측정된 인화점과 최소자연발화온도는 이들과 차이를 나타내어 안전의 목적을 위해 연소특성치 고찰이 필요함을 알 수 있었다.
