Description
Flash Point Analyzer Semi Automated Cleveland Open Cup is engineered for high-precision flash point testing, adhering strictly to ASTM D92 standards. This semi-automated unit is ideal for laboratories requiring robust, cost-effective flash point determination for oils, fuels, and other volatile liquids. With a perfect balance between automation and manual control, it suits medium- to high-throughput testing environments in both industrial and academic settings.
The flash point of a substance indicates the lowest temperature at which its vapors ignite when exposed to an open flame. This is critical for determining the fire hazard associated with flammable liquids. The Cleveland Open Cup (COC) method, particularly for substances with flash points above 79°C, is globally recognized and mandated in quality control and regulatory settings. According to [astm.org/Standards/D92.htm] (non-clickable), ASTM D92 ensures consistency and accuracy in measuring flash and fire points.
The analyzer features a semi-automated gas ignition system with a pilot flame that automatically traverses the cup at preset temperature intervals. A sensitive flame detection sensor identifies the flash point with minimal operator input. The test ends automatically once ignition is detected, and results are displayed on a digital screen for immediate reading and data recording.
The heating mechanism uses a thermostatically controlled aluminum block to ensure uniform heat distribution across the test cup. This guarantees a stable temperature rise rate as per ASTM protocol. The stainless steel cup is corrosion-resistant and easily removable for cleaning and replacement.
Operators can easily adjust the temperature ramp rate, ignition timing, and test duration via a digital control panel. An inbuilt timer alerts the user to critical stages, while the safety system includes a gas cut-off and temperature limiter to prevent overheating. These features ensure compliance with both laboratory safety guidelines and industry regulations.
The semi-automated configuration is ideal for labs needing flexibility—automated ignition and detection reduce human error, while manual sample handling provides control over test setup. This makes it suitable for use in refineries, lubricant manufacturers, transport safety departments, and fire testing labs.
In terms of connectivity, the system includes USB ports for data transfer and compatibility with most LIMS platforms. Test results can be printed or archived for traceability. The unit is bench-top friendly, with a compact design that fits into any lab workflow.
Technicians and quality managers appreciate its low maintenance needs, straightforward operation, and long service life. The included calibration tool ensures ongoing accuracy, making it an excellent return on investment.
