Automatic Abel Flash Point Tester
The automated Abel flash point tester is used primarily to test flammable and combustible materials for shipping and safety regulations. This instrument is designed for flash point determination of petroleum products and other liquids having flash points between -30°C and 110°C.
The flash tester provides an increased temperature range of operation as compared with other testers, allowing greater flexibility in testing samples according to the Abel test method. The unit provides a test range to 110°C and can be extended to -30°C by any appropriate external chiller.
The 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. Automation routines provide accurate test results. A quick search method is available to determine the flash point of unknown samples.
