Automatic Open and Closed Cup Flash Point Analyzer
Automatic Open and Closed Cup Flash Point Analyzer
MT-FP108
The Automatic Open and Closed Cup Flash Point Analyzer integrates both Pensky-Martens Closed Cup and Cleveland Open Cup testing methods in one system.
Introduction
This Open and Closed Cup Flash Point Analyzer is designed to determine the flash point of petroleum products under specified testing conditions.
When a petroleum product is heated, vapors form and mix with surrounding air. The lowest temperature at which this vapor-air mixture ignites upon contact with an ignition source is defined as the flash point.
This combined instrument integrates both Pensky-Martens Closed Cup and Cleveland Open Cup testing methods in one system, making it an ideal solution for laboratories requiring multiple flash point standards.
The instrument is widely used in petroleum, chemical, power, environmental protection, railway, and research laboratories.
Typical Applications
The Automatic Open and Closed Cup Flash Point Analyzer is suitable for:
- Lubricating oils
- Fuel oils and diesel
- Hydraulic oils
- Transformer oils
- Asphalt and heavy petroleum products
- Chemical liquids
Widely used in:
- Oil refining laboratories
- Lubricant manufacturers
- Power utilities
- Quality inspection laboratories
- Research institutes
Key Features
1. STM Microprocessor with Adaptive PID Control
Controlled by an STM microprocessor with adaptive PID algorithm, automatically adjusting the heating curve according to standard requirements for accurate and stable testing.
2. Built-In Automatic Barometric Pressure Compensation
Integrated atmospheric pressure sensor automatically measures and corrects flash point values, improving accuracy and compliance with international standards.
3. Differential Thermocouple Detection System
High-sensitivity thermocouple detection prevents missed or false flash detection, enhancing measurement precision.
4. Fully Automatic Testing Process
The entire procedure—including sample lifting, stirring, ignition, flash detection, alarm, cooling, and printing—is completed automatically.
5. Safe Electronic Ignition System
Uses platinum alloy electric wire ignition without external gas source, ensuring safe, stable, and reliable operation.
6. Intelligent Error Correction & Safety Protection
Differential detection with automatic system deviation correction. Over-temperature protection with automatic stop and alarm function.
7. Large Data Storage Capacity
Stores up to 10,000 test records, with optional 500GB expansion for long-term data management.
8. Multi-Language Interface & Upgradeable Program
Supports multiple language display. Instrument firmware can be upgraded when national or international standards are revised.
