Abel Flash Point Tester: AB 5

Pensky-Martens Flash Point

Tester: PM 4

The semi-automatic Pensky-Martens closed cup tester measures the flash point at the lowest temperature at which the application of an ignition source causes the vapors of a sample to ignite.


PM 4 is suitable for volatility applications of distillate fuels such as diesel, heating oil, kerosene and other potentially flammable liquids like lubricating oils.

Breathable, Cool pillow

FEATURES

Benefits at a Glance

  • The patented One-Twist head guarantees the safe and easy one-hand connection of the shutter-actuator and stirrer.
  • The two ignition systems in each unit give you the flexibility to work with electric or gas igniters: If the gas ignition is used, the electric igniter will automatically relight the gas flame during the test, if necessary.

Convenient Operation

  • The preset stirrer speed comes in handy when you have to choose between the methods A (120 rpm) and B (250 rpm).
  • The stirrer will be stopped automatically during the dipping process but can also be switched off manually.

Customized User Flexibility

  • The stainless steel test insert PM-NIRO (optional) is an alternative to the standard type made of brass. It was developed for applications with aggressive samples, for example.
  • Digital precision barometer (optional) with a measuring range of 300 mbar to 1100 mbar and certificates for 5 or 10 measuring points.
  • Digital thermometer (optional) with a measuring range of up to +400 °C: 
    a convenient alternative to glass thermometers
  • Thermometers in °F (optional)
