The innovative Continuously Closed Cup Flash Point (CCCFP) methods ASTM D6450 and D7094 use only 1–2 mL of sample that is sealed in a closed chamber during the whole measurement process. An electrical arc inside the chamber ignites the sample and the lack of oxygen extinguishes the flame automatically. The device measures the corresponding pressure increase inside the chamber. An increase of ≥ 20 kPa is defined as the flash point.

eralytics’ patented PBT – Peltier Boost TechnologyTM allows previously unmatched heating and cooling rates. A sophisticated mechanism safeguards the Peltier elements from high temperatures during heat-up and allows their use during cooldown even at temperatures that would normally harm them. This cleverly designed temperature control system allows turnaround times that are significantly shorter than those offered by all other flash point instruments available on the market.

PBT also facilitates the widest measurement range on the market within a single device. The powerful Peltiers reach -25 °C and the safeguard mechanism efficiently shields them from temperatures up to 420 °C. The low temperature model ERAFLASH LT even reaches -40 °C oven temperature at significantly faster cooling rates than ever before.

Applications 

ERAFLASH is the flash point testing solution for a wide variety of industries. It is used for specifying fuels, analyzing fresh and used lubricating oils, and bitumen testing. The small sample volume also renders it ideal for the more expensive samples such as flavors & fragrances, cosmetics, paints and varnishes or even hazardous waste.
