Pensky-Martens Closed Cup Flash Point Apparatus, Semi-Automatic
Semi-automatic closed cup flash point apparatus covering 40 °C to 350 °C, with ionisation-ring flash detection and built-in cooling for quick turnaround between samples.
Typical applications
- Biodiesel and biodiesel blends
- Distillate fuels — diesel, kerosene, heating oil and turbine fuel
- Lubricating oils
- Other homogeneous petroleum products
Conforms to
- ASTM D93—Flash point by Pensky-Martens closed cup tester
- ISO 2719—Determination of flash point — Pensky-Martens closed cup method
- IP 34—Determination of flash point — Pensky-Martens closed cup method
- IS 1448 (Part 21)—Flash point by Pensky-Martens closed cup

Worth knowing before you order
Semi-automatic here means the instrument detects the flash, holds the heating rate and cools itself between samples; loading, cleaning and the cup remain manual. If your method or your customer asks for a fully automatic closed cup instrument with an autosampler, this is not that machine — say so at enquiry. The manufacturer also prints JIS K2265-3, recorded above as a cited method rather than as a standard we have checked, and lists IS 1209 and IS 1448 Part 66 alongside the Pensky-Martens references — ask us to confirm which cup and apparatus each of those calls for before you write them into a method.Specification
