Automatic Fire Point Detection
The Automatic Flash Point Apparatus provides both automatic flash point detection and automatic fire point detection, allowing the instrument to determine these parameters during the controlled test procedure.
During the test, the instrument controls the heating and flame-sampling arrangement while monitoring the sample temperature and flame response through its temperature sensor and flame detector system.
For fire point determination, the supplied product information states that the fire point is detected when the flame is sustained for 5 seconds. The system then provides the corresponding automatic detection as part of the test operation.
