Model Shown FP-1000/EGA with optional External Gas Adapter |
The Rapid Tester® is a semiautomatic instrument for determining the flash point temperature / combustibility of flammable liquids.
Closed cup test temperatures from ambient to 572°F (300°C) are automatically controlled by the set-a-temp adjustable digitally preset target temperature circuitry. Integral digital LCD display, NIST traceable thermometer, disposable fuel tank and electronic timer are standard. |
Features
|
 |
- Quality Assurance - Verify the formulation of liquid products with flammable ingredients.
- Compliance Testing - Often required by regulatory agencies before transport or disposal of liquids
- Fuel Dilution -
Determine the relative percentage of fuel in engine crank case oil to forecast the need for engine rebuilding.

Digital Accuracy
|
|
| Achieve the high level of digital performance offered only by the Rapid Tester®. The high contrast LCD display has 1/2" characters for ease of reading and is switch selectable between degrees Fahrenheit and Centigrade. A thermometer traceable to the National Institute of Standards & Technology is also included.
Unique set-a-temp circuitry permits simple adjustment and precise automatic regulation of test temperatures. Depress the Preset switch while turning the Temperature Control knob until the target temperature is displayed. Release the switch and set-a-temp takes over! Test cup temperature is automatically shown on the digital LCD display. |
Fast Test-Small Sample
Test time is only one minute with a 2 ml sample for flash points below 212°F (100°C). You can run ten tests with the Rapid Tester® in the time that it takes to perform just one by other methods. The 2 ml/4 ml sample is a fraction of the large sample required by other flash point methods. This reduces sampling and disposal problems while improving safety.
Two Models
The Rapid Tester® Closed Cup Model RT-01 has a testing range from -22° to 572°F (-30° to 300°C). Open Cup Model RT-02 tests for flash point levels from ambient to 212°F (100°C).
Compare Results
Independent laboratory testing has demonstrated that the ASTM D3828 test method utilized by the Rapid Tester® correlates well with other flash point methods. In ASTM D-2 Round Robin testing it was found that the ASTM D3828 test method has the following correlation coefficients:
D3828 (Rapid Tester®) vs. D56 (Tag) = 0.9949
D3828 (Rapid Tester® vs. D93 (Pensky-Martens) = 0.9943
D56 vs. D93 = 0.9926
With better than 99% comparability you can use the Rapid Tester® with confidence. |
