FAQ
Q: What is the difference between ASTM D93 and ASTM D92?
A: ASTM D93 (Pensky-Martens Closed Cup) uses a sealed cup that traps vapors, producing more sensitive and lower flash point readings. ASTM D92 (Cleveland Open Cup) uses an open cup where vapors escape. D93 is required for regulatory compliance (UN, OSHA, EPA), while D92 is typically used for lubricating oils and high flash point materials.
Q: What samples can the A1190 test?
A: The A1190 is suitable for testing diesel fuel, kerosene, solvents, light petroleum distillates, lubricating oils, transformer oils, and other flammable liquids with flash points between room temperature and 300°C.
Q: Is the A1190 compliant with international standards?
A: Yes. The A1190 fully complies with ASTM D93 (Pensky-Martens Closed Cup) and GB/T 261 standards, ensuring globally accepted results.
Q: Does the instrument require calibration?
A: Yes. Regular calibration using certified reference materials is recommended to maintain accuracy. The instrument supports calibration verification with standard calibration oils.
Q: Does the A1190 require special training to operate?
A: No. The touchscreen interface and fully automated operation make it easy to use. Basic laboratory training is sufficient.
