Description
TEST METHODS
- ASTM D92
- ISO 2592
PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION
The AZA1290 determines flash and fire points using the Cleveland Open-Cup (COC) method for petroleum products with higher flash points, typically above 79 °C.
The sample is heated under controlled conditions using a programmable heating system. A motor-driven ignition arm automatically applies an electric spark ignition source at specified temperature intervals.
At the flash point, vapors above the sample ignite momentarily. Continued heating leads to the fire point, where sustained combustion persists for at least five seconds.
The system automatically detects flash and fire events using high-sensitivity ionization and optical sensing technology, eliminating subjective visual interpretation and ensuring highly repeatable test results.
