Abstract: Open testers of Alsace-Lorraine, LTRA (Russian Tester VNIIPO), Tag, microtester of McCutchan-Young, semi-automatic and automatic devices of McBurney, Wight, Goreltsev and Lifshits, Rudoi and Peschenko, Belarusian State University, Standard Oil company appear at the 2nd stage of evolution of development of the method determination for flash and fire points. Express analysis for oil products with flash point below 20 °C was developed by the Moscow plant «Neftegaz». The drip method using a block to determine the melting temperature is created by Gilmore. The technique to reduce the time of testing for flash point is proposed by Sharapov and Fomina. The idea of combining the principles of open and semi-closed types of testers is implemented in the Goreltsev–Lifshits’s device. An example of the transformation of the closed device of the Pensky-Martens into the open-type tester using a special nozzle is given.
