Flash and Fire Point
The Flash and Fire Point Apparatus is a laboratory instrument used in petroleum testing to determine the flash point and fire point of liquids, such as fuels, oils, lubricants, and bituminous materials. These properties are critical for assessing flammability, safety during storage, transportation, and handling, as well as compliance with industry standards.
Standard Following
IS 1209, IS 1448: Part 21, IS 1448: Part 66,
ASTM D92, ISO 2592,
IP 36,
AASHTO T48,
ASTM D93,
ISO 2719, IP 34
The Device Operates On a Spring-Reaction Principle
There are two primary types based on the test method: Open Cup (Cleveland) and Closed Cup (Pensky-Martens). Open-cup methods typically yield higher flash point values than closed-cup due to differences in vapor containment and exposure to air.
BE 86-01 | Open Cup | Cleveland Open Cup (COC) | Petroleum products, bituminous materials, lubricants (flash > 79°C) | Up to 400°C
|
BE 86-01 | Closed Cup | Pensky-Martens | Fuel oils, solvents, chemicals (higher precision for regulations) | Up to 405°C
|
Another two type latest model for flash & fire point.
BE 86-03 | Semi Automatic Abel flash point |
BE 86-04 | Fully Automatic Cleveland Flash Point Apparatus |
