The Inspector shall be a competent and qualified person and shall, at his own expense, provide himself with the necessary instruments for testing or gauging and weighing the quality of any such oils, which said instruments shall be a Tagliabue open-cup tester and a set of Baume hydrometers for liquids lighter than water. The flash test shall be made in the following manner: First, The water cup shall have sufficient water in it to fill said cup to within one-quarter of an inch of the top when the oil cup is in place; Second, The oil cup shall be filled with the oil to be tested to within one-eigth of an inch of the top and the outside of the cup and the upper level edge of the same freed from oil by means of blotting paper. The surface of the oil in the cup shall then be freed from air bubbles; Third, The oil cup is then to be placed in the water cup and the thermometer so suspended that the bulb is just under the surface of the oil; Fourth, An alcohol lamp shall be used to heat the water cup, but before placing the lamp under the water cup, test the oil in the oil cup by bringing a lighted taper, hereinafter described, in contact with the surface of the oil and if it does not flash place the lamp under the water cup and continue heating until the thermometer registers 100 degrees Fahrenheit. The lighted taper is then applied so that the flames, but not the taper, come in contact with the surface of the oil. If the oil should flash (that is, a little gas burn on the surface) and go out again, the flash point of the oil is 100 degrees or less. If the oil does not flash, continue heating and applying the taper as described and every rise of two degrees in the temperature as indicated by the thermometer until the oil flashes. The temperature at which the oil flashes is the flashing-point of the oil and shall be expressed in terms of degrees Fahrenheit. The taper used for testing the flashing-point may be made of wood, giving a clear flame and shall be not more than one-sixteenth inch in diameter. No taper or match with sulphur on it shall be used. The weight or specific gravity shall be determined by a standard Baume hydrometer for liquids lighter than water, and the oil so tested shall be at a temperature of 60 degrees Fahrenheit. SECTION 2.

The Inspector shall affix his brand on all packages, boxes or barrels by him found to contain fluids that have no fire test, as aforesaid, with these words "Highly Inflammable," and the specific gravity found by him thus: "Specific Gravity .....
