Automatic Pensky-Martens Flash Point Tester with Integrated Fire Extinguisher

Petrotest (Germany), a company of Anton Paar, now offers the PMA 5 Pensky-Martens (ASTM D93) flash point tester that performs flash point testing of petroleum products using Pensky-Martens closed-cup ASTM D93 A, B and C methods. PMA 5 can be used for both biodiesel and biodiesel blended fuels along with such distillate fuels as diesel, heating oil and kerosene and such potentially flammable liquids as lubricating oils, paints and varnishes.

With an integrated fire extinguisher as standard delivery item, PMA 5 highly improves user safety. Among the features of this highly versatile bench-top instrument are an over-temperature protection circuit, splash-proof membrane key panel, and a built-in sensor for automatic barometric pressure correction. The PMA 5 also offers both gas and electric ignition options standard. In addition, the instrument features a convenient to use multi-function head for easy one-hand simultaneous connection of all sensors and actuators.

Among the advantages of the PMA 5 is its ability to heat samples, while the instrument performs tests unattended. Heating keeps samples with a high-melting point liquid at temperatures above 150oC, allowing for the immediate start of the stirrer when flash point testing begins. This saves time and makes cleaning easier.

PMA 5 comes completely ready for testing with automatic test routines, user definable programs as well as a rapid search program. The easy-to-operate analyzer features the latest electronics, including a 5.7-inch color graphics display and Pmove® jog wheel for input of e.g. test parameters, sample name and program selection.
It has selectable output, either °C or °F, and a measuring temperature testing range from ambient to 405°C (761°F) without requiring any additional equipment.

Come and see this new instrument and more from Petrotest at our exhibition stand at ACHEMA, hall 4.1, stand H7.
