Abels Flash Point Apparatus
Product Code : EL-FTLE-10889
Abels Flash Point Apparatus (code EL-FTLE-10889) is an automated tester used to determine the flash point of petroleum products and other liquids with flash points between -30 °C and 110 °C, mainly for shipping and safety regulations on flammable and combustible materials. It tests up to 110 °C, or down to -30 °C with an external chiller, using thermal and ionization detection, gas flame or electric ignition and a differential Pt-100 RTD probe, corrects results to 101.3 kPa and stores 200 results.

What Is the Abels Flash Point Apparatus Used For?
The flash point is the lowest temperature at which the vapour above a liquid ignites briefly when a small flame is applied under set conditions, and it is used to class liquids as flammable or combustible for transport, storage and safety rules. The operator fills the flash cup, mounts it in the test position and selects a pre-programmed or user-programmed method, or the quick search method for a new sample; the tester heats the sample, applies the gas or electric ignition, detects the flash thermally and by ionization and corrects the result to 101.3 kPa. The standards listed are IP 170, ISO 13016, NF T 66-009 and DIN 51755, along with IP 33/59 and IS 1448 P:20.
What to Specify When Ordering
- Quantity — the number of testers required.
- Ignition — gas flame ignition or the electric ignition option.
- Power supply — the 115 V or the 230 V, 50/60 Hz single phase version.
- Optional items — whether the cryostat for samples with a flash point below 40 °C or the low gas cartridge is needed.
Frequently Asked Questions
What flash point range does the tester cover?
It covers petroleum products and other liquids with flash points between -30 °C and 110 °C; the unit tests up to 110 °C on its own and reaches -30 °C with a suitable external chiller.
How is a test started?
The flash cup is filled with sample and mounted in the test position, and a pre- or user-programmed method is selected; a quick search method finds the flash point of samples that have not been tested before.
How is the flash detected?
A dual detection system, thermal and ionization, picks up the flash and allows all types of products to be tested, while a differential Pt-100 RTD probe duplicates the response time of a mercury-in-glass thermometer.
Which ignition options are available?
Ignition is by gas flame, with a safety cut-off device and automatic gas cut-off at the end of the test; electric ignition is also available, and an optional low gas cartridge suits all types of environments.
How are results corrected and stored?
Results are automatically corrected to standard pressure (101.3 kPa), up to 200 results are stored, and supervisor software is included with the tester.
Which standards are listed for it?
The standards listed are IP 170, ISO 13016, NF T 66-009, DIN 51755, IP 33/59 and IS 1448 P:20.
