Viscosity: maybe turn it upside down, or maybe 135 degrees so the nozzle is facing down at a 45 degree angle, and measure the time it takes for the mass to shift from one end to the other?
Flash Point: Perhaps use a walk in freezer where you can vary the temperature and do the flamethrower thing with a lighter and the aerosol.
Originally posted by AThousandYoungHmm...could work but I don't think the can has a flame arrester on it.

It could be the last thing I do with that arm.
You'd set up a pressurised capillary for the viscosity and perhaps again at atmospheric pressure but then it's not as interesting.
Flashpoint is not of the gas but of the liquid, pressurised vessel at aerosol pressure with the liquid subcooled and then heated until it flashes off. The experiment would have to be repeated for different pressures.
Originally posted by mortisdeadNot only that, but as the liquid evaporates and expands the temperature drops dramatically, so the freezer will not measure the temperature accurately.
