• Automatic Tag Closed Cup Flash Point Tester

Automatic Tag Closed Cup Flash Point Tester



For the determination of the flash point of liquids with a viscosity below 5.5 mm2/s (cSt) at 40°C (104°F), or below 9.5 mm2/s (cSt) at 25°C (77°F), and a flash point below 93°C (200°F). The specimen is placed in the cup of the tester and, with the lid closed, heated at a slow constant rate. An ignition source is directed into the cup at regular intervals.

  • Conforms to ASTM D56 and related specifications
  • Simple automation routine for easy operation
  • Dual flash point detection system: thermal and ionization detection
  • Gas or electric ignition
  • Quick access to calibration parameters
  • Automatic gas cut-off at the end of the test

The Automated Tag Closed Cup Flash Point Tester ensures the accuracy and precision required according to ASTM D56 and related test methods. The test sample is heated at a prescribed rate of temperature increase throughout the standard temperature test range to 100°C. The flash point tests are simply conducted by mounting the flash cup filled with sample into the test position and selecting a pre-programmed test method or the search mode to determine an approximate flash point. The automation routines provide accurate test results. Ignition by gas flame or electrical ignitor is included, along with safety cut-off devices. The measurement range can be extended to –30°C by any appropriate external chiller. Supervision software is included.
