Tag Flash Point Tester: TAG 4

The automatic Tag 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. 
TAG 4 is suitable for flash point applications of jet fuels, solvents, chemicals, etc.

FEATURES

Benefits at a Glance

• Two cooling systems with Peltier elements are available: an economical air-cooled model and a low-temperature version with external water cooling
• 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
• One-Twist, a patented swivel-around multi-function head, guarantees the safe and easy one-hand connection of all sensors and actuators such as the shutter-actuator, igniter and detector contacts
• An extended measuring range up to 110 °C enables you to go beyond the conventional scope of the method

Convenient Operation

• Test initiation by pre-installed standard test methods and ability to customize methods by user-defined programs
• Outside flame sensors increase the system’s safety, especially for work with samples that have no conventional flash point but burn outside the test cup 
  (e.g. due to flame-inhibiting components)
• Splashproof touchkey panel with large LCD for real-time measurement indication
• A multi-detector combines the flash point detector and the temperature probe in a solid housing with a perfectly adjusted immersion depth
• PC software FPPNet for convenient remote handling and test data storage

Customized User Flexibility

• Insulation hood (optional) to protect the cover and shutter assembly from icing during low-temperature flash point tests
• Draft deflector 5 (optional) recommended for gas ignition tests
• Calibration set (optional)
• Small-volume sample cup (optional)
