Determines flash points of liquid products, including fuel oils, lube oils, suspensions of solids, and liquids that tend to form a surface film under test conditions. Widely used in shipping and safety regulations, detection of contamination by volatile and flammable materials in fuel oils and lubricating oils, and in characterization of hazardous waste samples.

Smooth operating cover mechanism slides shutter open and applies test flame at the turn of a knob. Cover fits over brass test cup and includes pilot flame, test flame reference bead, built-in stirrer and plated brass thermometer ferrule.

Electrically heated model is equipped with a 750W nickel-chromium heater with stepless variable control for accurate, repeatable temperature rate of rise settings per specifications. Heater unit is enclosed in a stainless steel housing with cooling vents and line cord receptacle and switch for optional stirrer motor. Gas heated model has a built-in nickel plated brass natural gas burner, or can be supplied with an artificial gas burner or liquid propane burner (specify when ordering). Both models are mounted on a sturdy cast iron base.

• Two speed operation
• Mounts in base of Pensky-Martens tester

Slow speed gear motor with twin pulley rotates stirrer of Pensky-Martens Closed Cup Flash Tester at 115 RPM for the basic procedure or at 250 RPM for suspensions of solids and highly viscous samples. Chuck accepts flexible stirrer shaft of flash tester. Includes adjustable support bracket and mounting rod with threaded end for easy installation in base of K16200/K16270 or K16000 flash tester, and three-conductor line cord and plug.

9 1/2 x 8x 22 1/2 (24 x 20 x 57) w/optional stirrer motor installed

■ Gas, electrical or alcohol heating
■ Flash points below 200°F (93°C)

Determines flash points of liquid products, except cutback
asphalts, having flash points below 200°F (93°C). (For viscous products, products tending to form a surface film during testing and materials which contain suspended solids, use the Pensky Martens flash tester. For cutback asphalts use the Tag Open Cup tester).

Features stepless variable heat control with reference dial for convenient, accurate repeat setting of temperature rate of rise per specifications. Also available with gas or alcohol burner instead of electric heater. Precision machined cover mechanism simultaneously opens slide shutter and applies test flame to sample at the turn of a knob. Includes liquid bath with constant level overflow, brass test cup, plated brass thermometer ferrules and test flame reference bead. Bath and cover mechanism are constructed of plated brass. Heater is enclosed in a cast aluminum base assembly.

5 x 5 x 16 (13x13x41)*with thermometers inserted

■ Choice of gas, electrical or alcohol heating
■ Flash and fire points up to 325°F (163°C)

For liquid products, including non-petroleum products, having flash and fire points of up to 325°F(163°C). Suitable for cutback asphalts having flash points of less than 200°F(93°C). Includes Pyrex™ sample cup, plated brass liquid bath with constant level overflow, pivoting ignition taper with pilot light and reference bead, pivoting thermometer holder, heater and cast aluminum base.

Electrically heated model is equipped with a stepless variable transformer for accurate control of temperature rate of rise per specifications. Also available with gas or alcohol burner.

10x7x17 (25x18x43)*with thermometer inserted

■ Choice of electric or gas heater
■ For flash points above 175°F (79°C)

Determines flash and fire points of all petroleum products except fuel oils and those having flash points below 175°F(79°C). Consists of test flame applicator, brass test cup, thermometer support, heating plate and gas or electric heater. Applicator is precisely aligned per specifications, and pivots for convenient test flame application at specified temperature intervals. Hinged thermometer support raises to facilitate placement and removal of test cup. Adjust flame size using built-in needle valve and comparison bead.

Electrically heated model is equipped with a 750W nickel-chromium heater with a variable stepless transformer for accurate control of temperature rate of rise per specifications. Gas heated model has a built-in natural gas burner, or can be supplied with an artificial gas burner or liquid propane gas burner—specify when ordering.

Mounted on a sturdy cast iron base. Heater unit of electrically heated model is enclosed in a stainless steel housing with cooling vents. Test flame applicator and thermometer support constructed of machined nickel plated brass.
