Abel Flash Point Tester: ABA 4
The automatic Abel closed cup tester measures the flash point, the lowest temperature at which the vapors of a sample ignite upon the application of an ignition source. The tester can also be used to detect the ability of a sample to yield flammable vapors when maintained at an equilibrium temperature by the flash/no flashmethod.
ABA 4 is suitable for flash point applications of jet fuels, solvents, chemicals, etc.
