The Seta C-92 Cleveland open cup Flash and Fire point tester is an automatic bench-top instrument, used to determine flash point and fire point temperatures of products at temperatures up to 400 °C.
The C-92 is controlled through a large colour touchscreen and allows test progress and results to be viewed from across the laboratory if required.
The instrument incorporates a heater, a removable test cup, interchangeable gas and electric hot-wire ignitors mounted on an automatic sweep arm, a platinum resistance thermometer (PRT) to measure the sample temperature, an ionisation ring to detect a flash/fire, a snuffer and a fire extinguisher. A draught screen around the test area ensures accurate results.
An automatic snuffer deploys to extinguish the burning sample at the end of a test and an optical fire sensor provides next level safety.
C-92 Statistical Quality Control (SQC) software provides detailed analysis of test results, calculated mean, standard deviation, standard error, repeatability and plot of results in accordance with ASTM D6299 Statistical Standard.
