Automatic COC Flash Point Tester
The automatic open cup flash point tester that complies with ASTM D92 standard is an intelligent detection device specifically designed to determine the flash temperature of petroleum products under open cup conditions. Its detection principle is based on placing the sample in an open copper cup and uniformly heating it. When the vapor mixes with air to form a combustible mixture, the lowest temperature at which the flash occurs instantly when it encounters an ignition source is the flash point. This instrument strictly follows ASTM D92 and achieves full process intelligent control of temperature rise, ignition, and flash detection through an automated system. Compared with traditional manual instruments, it greatly improves detection accuracy and efficiency.
Summary of Test Method:
Approximately 70 mL of test specimen is filled into atest cup. The temperature of the test specimen is increasedrapidly at first and then at a slower constant rate as the flashpoint is approached. At specified intervals a test flame is passedacross the cup. The flash point is the lowest liquid temperatureat which application of the test flame causes the vapors of thetest specimen of the sample to ignite. To determine the firepoint, the test is continued until the application of the test flamecauses the test specimen to ignite and sustain burning for aminimum of 5 s.
Automatic COC Flash Point Tester automatically detectsthe flash point& fire pointof the specimen, save and print out test results. Memory capacity is 256 setsof test results.
The Flash Point Tester is designed based on a multi-microcontroller system, combined with MODBUS network and advanced temperature, detection & calculationcontrol system. It featuresgreatreproducibility, user-friendly, complete functionalities, beautiful design and graphicinterfaces.
