Essential Tools for Flash Point & Fire Point Testing Using the Cleveland Open Cup Method

DESCRIPTION / TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS

This Cleveland open cup flash point tester is a fundamental apparatus designed for the accurate determination of flash and fire points of petroleum products. Its primary function is to measure the lowest temperature at which vapor from a sample will ignite momentarily, a critical parameter for the safety classification, handling, and transportation of flammable materials. This instrument stands as a cornerstone in quality control laboratories for industries that rely on dependable and industry-standard test data.

The device is equipped with a flame application system that performs an automatic scan, ensuring consistent and even exposure of the ignition source across the sample's surface. Temperature measurement is conducted using a precision thermometer with a very wide operational range, from minus six to four hundred degrees Celsius, enabling the testing of diverse materials from light lubricants to heavy asphalt. The flexible ignition source can utilize coal gas or other combustible gases available in the laboratory, providing operational adaptability.

Optimal performance of this tool is guaranteed under various laboratory environmental conditions. It is engineered to operate stably at an ambient temperature between minus ten and fifty degrees Celsius and a relative humidity level below eighty-five percent. With a standard power specification of AC 220 Volts, the instrument can be immediately operated in almost any facility without requiring complex power converters or adjustments, making it a practical and efficient solution for daily testing needs.

Built with a focus on durability and ease of use, this instrument features a robust construction to ensure a long service life in a demanding work environment. Every component, from the sample cup to the flame-scanning mechanism, is designed to deliver repeatable and reliable results. Its straightforward design allows operators to perform testing procedures according to the ASTM D92 standard with ease, ensuring consistency and integrity of test data across your operations.

The application of this instrument is vital across numerous sectors, including oil refineries, asphalt and bitumen production, lubricant manufacturing, and independent testing laboratories. It represents a strategic investment for any entity committed to quality assurance and compliance with safety regulations. With this device, you empower your team to perform one of the most fundamental tests in the petroleum industry with a high degree of confidence and efficiency.
