AUTOMATED CLEVELAND OPEN CUP FLASH POINT ANALYZER AZA1279

The Automated Cleveland Open Cup Flash Point Analyzer (Model: AZA1279) from AZA Lab is a fully automated, microprocessor-controlled flash point testing system designed for accurate determination of the flash point of petroleum products using the Cleveland Open Cup (COC) method. Engineered in strict compliance with ASTM D92, the AZA1279 delivers reliable, repeatable, and traceable results for laboratories where safety, regulatory compliance, and precision are essential.

Flash point determination plays a vital role in assessing the flammability, handling safety, storage conditions, and transportation classification of combustible liquids. The AZA1279 automates the entire test cycle—heating, ignition, detection, and result recording—minimizing human error while maximizing consistency and operator safety

Description

Description

High-Precision Automated Flash Point Testing

The AZA1279 incorporates an intelligent microprocessor-controlled heating system with an adjustable and stable temperature ramp. The analyzer automatically applies ignition at predefined temperature intervals and precisely detects the flash event, ensuring accurate flash point measurement across a wide range of petroleum-based samples.

With its dynamic temperature control and automated flame ignition, the instrument provides exceptional repeatability even during continuous or high-throughput testing environments.


Fully Automated & User-Friendly Operation

Designed for modern laboratories, the AZA1279 features a 7-inch color touchscreen interface that allows operators to:

  • Select ASTM D92 test parameters

  • Start automated test sequences

  • Monitor real-time temperature progression

  • Review, store, and export test results

The intuitive interface significantly reduces training requirements while ensuring standardized operation across multiple users.


Enhanced Safety & Reliability

Operator safety is a core design focus of the AZA1279. The system includes:

  • Automatic electric ignition, eliminating manual flame handling

  • Over-temperature alarms and emergency shut-off
