Automatic Pensky-Martens Closed Cup Flash Point Tester The automated Pensky-Martens flash point tester accurately determines the lowest flash point temperature of fuels, lubricating oils, and homogenous liquids (ASTM D93 A), or liquids containing suspended solids as well as liquids that tend to form a surface film during testing (ASTM D93 B). 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. A quick search method allows for determination of flash points for unknown samples and a method for asphalts is also included. The automation routines provide accurate test results, even with users inexperienced in flash point test methods. 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. Features and Benefits - Conforms to ASTM D93 and related specifications - Simple automation routine for easy operation - Dual flash point detection system (thermal and ionization) for measurement of samples containing water and/or silicone - Gas or electric ignition - Flash point operation range between 0 and 400°C - Large viewing screen for observing test status at a distance from the unit - Automatic barometric correction
