How Does It Work?

This automatic Cleveland open cup flash point tester uses an open cup method to determine the temperature at which a flammable liquid produces enough vapor to ignite. The process includes:

• Sample Preparation: A small amount of the substance is placed in the designated cup.
• Temperature Control: The system heats the sample incrementally, maintaining precise heating rates as per the method.
• Ignition Sequence: An automated mechanism introduces the flame at regular intervals until ignition occurs.
• Data Recording: Flash and fire points are recorded digitally, eliminating guesswork and manual errors.

This seamless automation not only enhances productivity but also reduces operator fatigue, making it a preferred choice over traditional manual methods.

Calibration is quick and straightforward, and the instrument offers real-time data logging with options to export data for further analysis. The compact design of the K72000 makes it an efficient addition to any laboratory, saving valuable bench space without compromising performance.

• Automation and Precision: The K72000 offers fully automated flash point detection, ensuring precise and repeatable results.
• Enhanced Safety Features: The device includes over-temperature protection and automatic flame extinguishment for maximum operator safety.
• 10.4” Touchscreen Interface: A large, high-resolution touchscreen interface simplifies operation and enhances usability.
• Data Management: The tester provides real-time data visualization and export options, making it easy to log and analyze results.
• Time Efficiency: Faster heating and cooling cycles allow for higher testing throughput, reducing laboratory downtime.

Why is It Essential for ASTM D 92 Compliance?

ASTM D 92 is a globally recognized standard method for determining the flash point of petroleum products using the Cleveland Open Cup method. Compliance with this standard ensures that your laboratory meets regulatory requirements and produces reliable, accurate results. The Koehler K72000 is explicitly designed to meet these stringent standards, making it the ideal choice for industries that prioritize quality and safety.

The system software runs on an integrated processor PC with the latest Windows operating system, and the 10.4” touchscreen interface displays all operator parameters and results on a single screen.
Results can be stored on the local hard drive, ensuring easy access and retrieval of test data. The integrated Dual Fan System directly cools the test cup and the environment around the cup, maintaining optimal testing conditions. The robust design and state-of-the-art technology make the K72000 automated Cleveland open cup flash point tester a reliable and durable choice for flash point testing.
