Determination of the flash point of petroleum products
The A-PMA is a compact and self-contained PenskyMartens Closed Cup Flash Point Analyzer. It contains all the components for determining the flash point according to standard test methods such as: ASTM D 93 (A, B, C), EN ISO 2719 (A and B), as well as customizable methods. The A-PMA uses electronic flash point detection and allows the use of both gas and electrical ignition systems for the analyzed sample.
Automatic fire-extinguishing system
Built-in barometric pressure sensor for automatic flash point correction
Automatic lifting mechanism for the cup cover installation
Torch flame ignition and maintenance system
Colour display, touch screen operation
Experimental data and more than 2000 user programs can be stored in the internal memory
Remote update of integrated software, data export to LIMS via Ethernet
Built-in fan to cool down the test cup and surrounding environment at the end of the test
Calculation of the flash point mean value
Flash point range
The automatic sample heating system allows you to determine the flash point in the ranges from +40C up to +360°C (standardized range), and from ambient temperature to +405°C (technical range).
Built-in automatic fire extinguishing system
An automatic fire extinguishing system is built into the device. The automatically (through thermocouples) or manually controlled fire extinguishing system allows inert gas to be supplied around the test crucible throughout the entire area of possible fire. This is done by using an annular nozzle encasing the test area connected to an external inert gas supply.
Automatic lifting mechanism for the cup cover installation
The special cup cover mechanism with a safe automatic drive moves smoothly for convenient operation. The automatic drive works smoothly and does not pose a threat to human health.
Built-in fan for cooling after test completion
The test crucible can be cooled very fast after analysis due to the design of the device, which increases labor productivity. There are optional accessories that cool the crucible even faster.
Built-in barometric pressure sensor for automatic result adjustment
The device has a built-in atmospheric pressure sensor and allows automatic correction for atmospheric pressure.
Instrument calibration
All required parameters and sensors are calibrated in this device:
Pt100 temperature sensor calibration
dynamic, against ASTM certified thermometer (9C or 10C) or alternative, including correction using up to 25 calibration points (user defined)
calibration of the heater block temperature sensor using an external thermometer
calibration of the barometric pressure sensor with an external barometer
