Automatic Pensky Martene Flash Point Apparatus (ASTM D 93)
Accurate. Automatic. Compliant. Measure Safety Ensure Quality.
Flash Point is the lowest temperature at which application of the ignition source causes the vapour of a specimen to ignite under the specified condition of the test. 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.
Our goal is to deliver precision laboratory instruments and petroleum testing solutions that are reliable, automated, accurate, and built to provide long-term performance.
