This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1884 edition. Excerpt: ...the breaking of the crucibles. In 1H75, Mr. Abel, au English chemist, invented the "close test" in compliance with an order from the home minister in England. This test is made by placing the vessel containing the oil in an empty receptacle, placed in one containing water, which is again inclosed in an empty (-ask.

The difference in the results by the burning aud open tests is-MJ Fahr., and between the open and closed 37 Fahr. 'Thus oil that flashes at 115c Fahr. by the burning test, will flash at 95 Fahr. by the open test and tat ti--Fahr. by the closed test. The standard fixed by notification No. 40 issued in Sii was 120J Fahr. This was reduced to 115 Fahr. by notification No. 50 of the same year, but as 115 Fahr. by the burning test equals 0 Fahr. close test, the danger lias not been mitigated. Fortunately for the welfare of the nation this was discovered and promptly remedied. We owe a debt of gratitude to the progress of science. T', e fixing of the standard cannot be left altogether in the hands of students, as kerosene is an important article of commerce; therefore the regulations must have caused more or less inconvenience to both the foreign importers and native dealers. This is the reason why we say that the testing of kerosene oil is a matter of importance. Still, even if...
