Working Principle

The A1020 Automatic Open Cup Flash Point Tester operates based on the standardized open cup flash point testing method defined in ASTM D92.

A measured sample is placed into the open test cup and gradually heated at a controlled rate. As the temperature increases, volatile vapors are released from the sample surface. At predefined temperature intervals, an ignition source (electric or gas flame) is introduced across the vapor surface.

The instrument automatically detects the moment when a flash occurs—defined as the lowest temperature at which vapors ignite momentarily without sustaining combustion. The built-in sensor system accurately captures this flash point temperature and displays the final result on the LCD screen.

This fully automated process ensures high repeatability, minimizes operator influence, and guarantees compliance with standardized laboratory testing procedures.
