Product overview
The Setaflash Series 8 closed cup flash point tester provides fast and reliable flash point results with a wide temperature range from ambient to 300 °C with no external cooling required.
The Setaflash Series 8 closed cup flash point tester provides fast and reliable flash point results with a wide temperature range from ambient to 300 °C with no external cooling required.
With the Series 8, a test takes less than 2 minutes with just a 2 or 4 ml sample size. A simple user interface with colour digital display and touchscreen icons guides you through the straightforward testing process. For easy record keeping the instrument stores test results which can be saved and transferred via a USB port to a laboratory information management system (LIMS).
Designed for precise and accurate tests, barometric pressure is measured by an internal barometer and correction is automatically applied to the test result. Unknown samples can be tested using ramp mode

- Ease of use:
All functions on the Series 8 including test parameters, instrument status and test results are accessed via the touchscreen display. An audible prompt sounds when a flash is achieved and an automatic flash detector enhances repeatability.
- Safety:
A fire sensor immediately stops the test and cools the sample cup if a fire is detected.
- Statistical quality control:
The statistical quality control (SQC) analysis feature allows you to analyse the results of previous tests, calculating mean, standard deviation, standard error and repeatability, and plotting results in accordance with ASTM D6299. You can analyse all the results stored or selected results.
- Calibration and verification:
Calibration of the Series 8 can be performed in the field, eliminating the costs and time associated with sending the instrument to a service centre.
- Service and maintenance:
The rugged design ensures minimal operational maintenance is needed.
