Pensky-Martin Closed Cup Flash Point Tester

What is the Pensky-Martin Closed Cup Flash Point Tester?

It is suitable for determining the flash point of flammable liquids, liquids with suspended particles, liquids whose surface tends to form a film under test conditions, and other liquids by the Pensky-Martin closed cup method. Widely used in electric power, petroleum, chemical industry, commodity inspection, scientific research and other departments.

Suitable for samples with a flash point higher than 40°C;

Pour the sample into the test cup, stir continuously at the specified rate, and heat the sample at a constant rate at specified temperature intervals. In the case of interrupting the stirring, introduce the fire source into the opening of the test cup, so that the sample vapor flashes instantly and spreads to the lowest temperature of the liquid surface. This temperature is the flash point at ambient atmospheric pressure, after calculating the flash point at atmospheric pressure.

Compliance: ISO 2719-2016 "Determination of flash point—Pensky-Martens closed cup method"; ASTM D93-2018 "Standard test methods for Flash Point by Pensky-Martens Closed Cup Tester".
