Flash Point Testing is important in determining the hazard classification of many substances including Flavours and Fragrances. Flash Point is the lowest temperature at which a liquid generates enough vapour to ignite when mixed with oxygen.

Stanhope Seta is pleased to introduce the new Series 8 Closed Cup Flash Point Tester, an updated version of the Series 7. The Series 8 has a temperature range from ambient to 300oC or -20°C to 130°C for the peltier cooled model. This new instrument has the option of either electric of gas ignition.

The Series 8 Flash Point Tester has a ‘ramp’ facility which automatically increases the temperature of the sample at a rate of 2°C/min until a flash is detected. The dipping sequence occurs automatically every 1°C up to 100°C and every 2°C above 100°C until either a flash is detected or the end of test temperature is reached. When the test is complete, the sample cup is cooled by forced air to reduce cycle time between tests.

The Series 8 features a colour LCD screen and soft key controls. Up to 64 results can be stored in memory and downloaded to a computer or printer.
