Description

Accurate Low Flash Point Determination

The Abel closed cup method is internationally recognized for testing low flash point liquids, making AZA1275 particularly suitable for volatile fuels and solvents. The analyzer supports a temperature range of –30°C to 70°C, extendable up to 110°C, covering a wide spectrum of petroleum products and chemical formulations.

Once the expected flash point is entered, the instrument automatically controls heating, ignition, detection, result storage, and alerts, minimizing operator influence and improving reproducibility.
