The automated Abel flash point tester is used primarily to test flammable and combustible materials for shipping and safety regulations.
The automated Abel flash point tester is used primarily to test flammable and combustible materials for shipping and safety regulations. The flash tester provides an increased temperature range of operation as compared with other testers, allowing greater flexibility in testing samples according to the Abel test method. The unit provides a test range to 110°C and can be extended to –30°C by any appropriate external chiller. The flash point tests are simply conducted by mounting the flash cup filled with sample into the test position and selecting a pre- or user-programmed test method. Automation routines provide accurate test results. A quick search method is available to determine the flash point of unknown samples. The dual detection system (thermal and ionization) allows for testing all types of products. Ignition by gas flame or electrical ignitor is included, along with safety cut-off devices. Test results are automatically corrected to standard pressure (101.3 kPa). The system is equipped with a differential Pt-100 RTD probe designed to duplicate the response time of a mercury-in-glass thermometer and with multiple sensors that continually monitor instrument function, displaying an error message if a problem is detected. Supervision software is included.
For flash point determination of petroleum products and other liquids having flash points between -30°C and 110°C.

The automated Cleveland Open Cup flash point tester accurately determines flash and fire point temperatures of viscous petroleum products including oils and bitumens over an extended temperature range.
The automated Cleveland Open Cup flash point tester accurately determines flash and fire point temperatures of viscous petroleum products including oils and bitumens over an extended temperature range. When examining highly viscous specimens, a preheating time and temperature are set in order to liquefy the sample for testing. The surface skin from bituminous samples can be removed with a skimmer. The flash/fire 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 test results are automatically corrected to standard pressure (101.3 kPa). Equipped with a differential Pt-100 RTD probe, the system is designed to duplicate the response time of a mercury-in-glass thermometer. Multiple sensors continually monitor instrument function, displaying an error message if a problem is detected. The performance of the ionization sensor which detects the flash and fire points is continuously monitored, and the user is notified upon the need of replacement. If a flash is not detected 20°C above the expected flash point or at 420°C, then the test is automatically aborted for safety. The system is easily interfaced with an external PC for operation and method updates. When performing a test, the system will display the stirring speed, temperature curve (also printed out), and current test status. The system alerts the user if the first application of the ignitor results in a flash or if no flash point is detected at the end of the test program. If a flash is not detected 30°C above the expected flash point or at 400°C, then the test is automatically aborted for safety.
For flash and fire point of all petroleum products, except fuel oils and those having an open cup flash below 79°C (175°F).

The Koehler K24880 Microscale Continuously Closed Cup Flash Point Tester works in the following manner. The temperature of the analyzer is adjusted to at least 18 °C below the expected flash point
Under specified test conditions, when a sample is heated to the temperature called flash point, the sample vapor and air mixture are ignited instantly. Flash Point is one of the indicators for the evaluation of a materials’ combustion tendency. If the flash point Is low, the combustion risk would be high. As for transport and safety regulation, flash point is used for the classification of “flammable liquids”. Also, flash point is used for quality control index or determining the existence of highly volatile or flammable substances in relatively nonvolatile or nonflammable matter, e.g. lubricant mixed with a small amount of diesel or gasoline.
The Koehler K24880 Microscale Continuously Closed Cup Flash Point Tester works in the following manner. The temperature of the analyzer is adjusted to at least 18 °C below the expected flash point. The sample is injected into the sample cup. The operator must ensure that the sample and sample cup temperature are both at least 18 °C below the expected flash point (the sample and sample cup may be cooled if necessary). Then the sample cup is raised towards the oven forming a closed test chamber, which is not sealed.
After every ignition, the proper volume of air goes into the test chamber to supply the next ignition with oxygen to burn. The pressure in the unsealed closed test chamber should be ambient atmospheric pressure, except during the short period of air introduction and the time when the flash point is achieved. The pressure increase comes after discharge of air, so each time after the air discharges, the chambers pressure is higher than ambient atmospheric pressure. When the pressure increase exceeds the specified limit, this is recorded as the flash point temperature (which has not been corrected).
ASTM D6450: For determination of flash point of fuel oils, lube oils, solvents and other liquids by continuously closed cup tester. The measurement is made on a test specimen of 1 mL and utilizes a closed but unsealed cup with air injected into the test chamber. This method is suitable for testing samples with a flash point from 10 °C to 250 °C.
ASTM D7094: For determination of flash point of fuels including diesel/biodiesel blends, lube oils, solvents, and other liquids by a continuously closed cup tester utilizing a specimen size of 2 mL, cup size of 7 mL, with a heating rate of 2.5 °C per minute. This test method utilizes a closed but unsealed cup with air injected into the test chamber and is suitable for testing samples with a flash point from 35 °C to 225 °C.
