SEMI AUTOMATED CLEVELAND OPEN CUPFLASH POINT ANALYZER AZA1289

The AZA1289 Semi-Automated Cleveland Open Cup Flash Point Analyzer from AZA Lab is engineered for accurate, repeatable determination of flash and fire points of petroleum products, lubricants, and other combustible liquids. Designed in full compliance with ASTM D92 and ISO 2592, this analyzer provides an optimal balance between automation, operator control, and cost efficiency.

The Cleveland Open Cup (COC) method is the globally accepted reference method for determining flash and fire points of materials with flash points above 79°C, making AZA1289 ideal for routine quality control, safety assessment, and regulatory testing in laboratory environments.

Description

Description

Reliable Flash & Fire Point Determination

The flash point represents the lowest temperature at which vapors ignite momentarily when exposed to an ignition source, while the fire point indicates sustained combustion. These parameters are critical for evaluating fire hazards, storage safety, transportation compliance, and product classification.

AZA1289 utilizes a semi-automated ignition and detection system, reducing operator dependency while maintaining flexibility during test setup. The analyzer automatically applies the ignition source at programmed temperature intervals, while a sensitive flame detection system identifies flash and fire points with high accuracy.
