Flammability Flash & Fire Point Testing

Integrated Fire-Extinguishing System: Automatically controlled by thermocouples or manually released by hand, from external extinguishing gas-supply through a ring-jet covering the test section; as well as additionally potential-free signal-port for e.g. alarm or relay of external fire-extinguishing system.

The flash-point determination of petroleum products is using:

Method A:
for distillate fuels (diesel, kerosene, heating oil, turbine fuels), new lubricating oils, paints, vanishes and other homogeneous liquids.

Method B:
for residual fuel oils, cutback residual, used lubricating oils, non-homogeneous materials like mixtures of petroleum liquids & solids, surface-film building petroleum liquids or liquids with a viscosity above 5.5 cSt at +40°C.

Method C:
for biodiesel (FAME, B100). Electronic flash point detection required.

Used in shipping & safety regulations to define flammable and combustible materials.

Features of the Petrotest unit:
• Automatically lights test flame, relights if necessary during the test, suppresses gas source at end of test
• Built-in sensor for automatic barometric pressure correction
• Overheating detection with automatic heat shut-off during the test
• Integrated Fire-Extinguishing System
• Suitable for standard & small sample volumes
• Swivel-around Multi-Function-Head - ONE- TWIST
• Dome-Shaped Top-Plate
• Internal memory of 1000 tests, 20 operator & 100 sample names
