Manual Type Abel Closed Cup Flash Point Tester

1 Characteristics

HZBS-002 is designed according to ISO13736 and IP 170 by Abel close cup method, it is suitable to the determination of flash point of petroleum product and other flammable liquid with flash point between -30℃ and 70℃. The precision for this method is only valid for flash points in range of --5℃ and 66.5℃.It is not applicable to water-borne paints.

Main characteristics:

◆ Temperature rise controlled by SSR, which can satisfy requirements of different heating rate.

◆ Continuously stirring the sample and stirring is auto stopped during igniting.

◆ Electrical controlled ignition.

◆ Test cup lid with stirring device can be disassembled freely..

2 Operation condition

◆Temperature：5℃~35℃ Humidity:≤85%

◆Condition：No dust, no corrosive gas and no influence of strong magnetic field.

◆Power supply：220V±22V, 50Hz, 5A grounded electrical socket

◆Gas source: Liquid petroleum gas or propane

3 Configuration

The instrument consists of heating unit, test device, electrical control unit, test cup and gas source. See Figure-1.

Figure-1 Configuration

3.1 Test device

The test device consists of stirrer, electrical control igniting system, disassemble test cup lid and igniter. It uses vertical model for ensuring the close seal between test cup and cover and precise test result. During test, the stirrer, test cup lid, igniter and shutter unit are linked together, release the lifter knob to drop the test device onto test cup to finish the operation.

Shutter unit: The motor drives the cam and driving axle to open or cover the shutter automatically.

3.2 Heating device

The heating voltage is adjusted by SSR, it is convenient to control the power frequency to meet different requirements on temperature rise rate. Stirring rate can be adjusted in range of 0-40 roll/min by stirrer adjust button. Stirrer will be stop working during ignition.

3.3 Gas source

Beside master gas valve, we have adjusting valves for flame size adjusting for both igniting and ever-burning flame.
