Petrolab Company Announces New Flashpoint Tester - MINIFLASH FP VISION
Petrolab Company now offers the new
Grabner Instruments
flashpoint analyzer, the
MINIFLASH FP Vision. The
MINIFLASH FP Vision determines the
flashpoint of flammable liquid mixtures according to ASTM
D6450 and ASTM
D7094. These test methods, with continuously closed-cup, are the safest for
flashpoint testing

and their results are rated equivalent to ASTM 93/
ISO 2719
Pensky Martens.
The
MINIFLASH FP Vision is the latest addition to the
Grabner Instruments Vision product line. The company has two other Industry 4.0-ready analyzers, the
MINIVAP VP Vision and the
MINISCAN IR Vision.
Grabner launched the vapor pressure tester
MINIVAP VP Vision in 2015, followed in 2017 by the
MINISCAN IR Vision, which is designed for
FTIR Fuel
analyzation.
The
MINIFLASH FP Vision determines flash points between -45 and 120°C (-50 to 248°F). The high temperature version of the instrument, the
MINIFLASH FPH Vision, determines
flashpoints between 10 and 400°C (50 to 752°F). The advanced Peltier technology used in the instruments allows for fastest cooling cycles and sample turnaround. It also extends instrument life by ensuring optimal
thermo-electrical regulation. The flash point analyzers are approved by the US Department of Transport,
RCRA, US Navy and NATO.
The new
flashpoint testers feature several technical improvements, such as inclusion of the test method IP 620 and an automatic sample loading and ejection system. The new IP 620 regulates rapid equilibrium closed-cup measurements of
flashpoints for paints, varnishes, adhesives, solvents and petroleum. The automatic sample loading and ejection system reduces the chance of accidental spillage and ensures maximum safety during flash point determination.
The automatic ignition cleaning
MINIFLASH FP Vision and
MINIFLASH FPH Vision are fully compatible with
COCKPITTM Software for Vision analyzers.
Offered under
freemium licensing, COCKPIT Software for Vision analyzers expands the capabilities of
Grabner analyzers. With the premium COCKPIT
SQC version, for example, laboratories can introduce quality assurance programs in full compliance with ASTM
D6299-17.
Petrolab Company, a subsidiary of AMETEK Inc., is considered one of the world’s leading suppliers of automatic petroleum testing equipment.
