Flash Point Tester Closed 316SS

The Rapid Tester® is a semiautomatic instrument for determining the flash point temperature / combustibility of flammable liquids. Closed cup test temperatures from ambient to 572°F (300°C) are automatically controlled by the set-a-temp adjustable digitally preset target temperature circuitry. Integral digital LCD display, NIST traceable thermometer, and electronic timer are standard.

Features

Achieve high level of digital performance, better than 99% comparability
High contrast LCD display has 1/2" characters for ease of reading
Switch selectable between degrees Fahrenheit and Centigrade
Includes External Gas Adapter
A thermometer traceable to the National Institute of Standards & Technology is also included
Test time is only one minute with a 2 ml sample for flash points below 212°F (100°C)
Run ten tests with the Rapid Tester® in the time that it takes to perform just one by other methods
The 2 ml/4 ml sample is a fraction of the large sample required by other flash point methods which reduces sampling and disposal problems while improving safety
Quality Assurance - Verify the formulation of liquid products with flammable ingredients
Compliance Testing - Often required by regulatory agencies before transport or disposal of liquid
Fuel Dilution - Determine the relative percentage of fuel in engine crank case oil to forecast the need for engine rebuilding.
Independent laboratory testing has demonstrated that the ASTM D3828 test method utilized by the Rapid Tester® correlates well with other flash point methods. In ASTM D-2 Round Robin testing it was found that the ASTM D3828 test method has the following correlation coefficients:
- D3828 (Rapid Tester®) vs. D56 (Tag) = 0.9949
- D3828 (Rapid Tester® vs. D93 (Pensky-Martens) = 0.9943
- D56 vs. D93 = 0.9926
