Flash Point Testers measure and determine the lowest point at which a test sample’s temperature and vapor pressure become ignitable in air. A sample is placed inside the test cup and heated at a precise rate. A test flame is then passed across the cup to determine the lowest temperature at which the vapor will ignite.
The Cleveland Flash Point Tester accurately measures flash and fire points of petroleum products using the Cleveland Open Cup method, ensuring compliance with ASTM D92 and AASHTO T 48 standards.
The Tag Open Cup Flash Tester effectively measures flash and fire points of liquids up to 325°F (163°C) and cutback asphalts at 200°F (93°C) or lower, featuring electronic heating and stepless variable heat control to ensure compliance with ASTM and AASHTO standards.
These types of Open cup flash point apparatus can be used to determine the safe mixing and application temperature values of an asphalt binder.
