Micro Rapid Closed Cup Flash Point Tester(Pensky Martens)

Automatic Flash Point Tester designed for accurate and repeatable determination of the flash point of petroleum products using the Pensky-Martens closed cup method, fully compliant with ASTM D93.

The flash point of a material is the lowest temperature at which it emits enough vapor to ignite in air in the presence of an ignition source. It is a critical parameter for determining the flammability and safety classification of fuels, oils, solvents, and other volatile substances.

Applications
