Abels Flash Point Apparatus

Home Petroleum Testing Products Abel's Flash Point Apparatus

Test Method:-

The automatic Abel closed-cup tester measures the flash point, the lowest temperature at which the vapours of a sample ignite upon the application of an ignition source. The tester can also be used to detect the ability of a sample to yield flammable vapors when maintained at an equilibrium temperature by the flash/no flash method.

Standard: - ISO 13736, IP 170

Manual Model

abels-flash-point

Working

The temperature of the approximately 70 ml test specimen is increased rapidly at first and then at a slower constant rate as the flash point is approached. At specified intervals a test flame is passed across the cup, to measure the tendency of the test specimen to form a flammable mixture with air under controlled laboratory conditions.

Automatic Model

abels-flash-point

Working

The temperature of the approximately 70 ml test specimen is increased rapidly at first and then at a slower constant rate as the flash point is approached. At specified intervals a test flame is passed across the cup, to measure the tendency of the test specimen to form a flammable mixture with air under controlled laboratory conditions. Select a test mode and enter the expected flash point; while the instrument executes the test, you are free to do other lab work. The instrument follows the exact procedures prescribed in the test method, and the completion of the test cycle is signaled by beeps. The test result is brightly shown on the color LCD module. The unit is equipped to store up to 200 successive test results and export to an optional printer or to a LIMS through an RS-232 port or USB memory
