Description
Precision Flash & Fire Point Determination
Unlike flash-only instruments, the AZA1276 precisely determines both:
-
Flash Point – the lowest temperature at which vapors ignite momentarily
-
Fire Point – the temperature at which combustion is sustained for ≥ 5 seconds
This dual-capability makes the AutoFlash-1276 an essential tool for hazard classification, safety compliance, and product characterization of viscous petroleum materials.
Fully Automated & Standalone Operation
The AZA1276 is a standalone analyzer with an embedded control system, eliminating the need for external computers. Its intuitive LCD / touchscreen interface allows operators to:
-
Select standardized test methods
-
Enter expected flash point values
-
Start automated test cycles with minimal intervention
The system automatically controls heating rate, ignition timing, flame detection, and fire sustain logic, ensuring consistent and reproducible results while reducing operator dependency.
