The Cleveland open-cup method is one of three main methods in chemistry for determining the flash point of a petroleum product using a Cleveland open-cup apparatus, also known as a Cleveland open-cup tester.
First, the brass test cup of the apparatus is filled to a certain level with a portion of the sample.
Then, the temperature of the sample is increased rapidly and then at a slow, constant rate as it approaches the theoretical flash point.
The increase in temperature will cause the sample to begin to produce flammable vapor in increasing quantities and density.
The lowest temperature at which a small test flame passing over the surface of the liquid causes the vapor to ignite is considered the sample's flash point.
