About Smoke Point Apparatus
This method describe a procedure for evaluating a kerosine without producing smoke.
- Used for evaluating illuminating oils in respect of their ability to burn without smoke.
- The apparatus consists essentially of four parts lamp body, candle socket, candle and tripod stand. The candle may be raised or lowered by a micrometer screw arrangement. The size of the flame may be measured on a blue scale with white markings 0 to 50 mm.
