The petroleum flash point tester.
eraflash X is the future-proof replacement for ASTM D93 Pensky-Martens testers. Tailored for the petroleum industry all kinds of liquids can be tested over the wide temperature range of 18 °C to 370 °C using only 2 mL of sample. The full compliance with the latest flash point standard ASTM D7094 brings 100% safety, unrivaled speed as well as best in class precision to your laboratory.
Measurement procedure
Just four easy steps are required for a safe flash point testing at maximum precision:
- High throughput with the 10-position autosampler
- Inherently safe with no open flame
- Only a very low sample volume of 1-2 mL needed
- Takes up very little laboratory bench space
- Fully compliant with ASTM D6450, ASTM D7094, and IP620
The instrument now visualizes the measurement procedure on the screen showing the sample and oven temperature as well as pressure gauge displaying the pressure increase after ignition. After the measurement the flash point temperature is corrected for the atmospheric pressure and rounded to the next 0.5 °C. The result will be saved in the corresponding result file.
