The PMA 4 is a fully automatic closed cup flash point tester using the Pensky-Martens method to ASTM D 93 and other international standards.
Using either method A or B flash-point determination is possible as follows :
Method A
For distillate fuels (diesel, kerosene, heating oil, turbine fuels), new lubricating oils, paints, vanishes and other homogeneous liquids.
Method B
For residual fuel oils, cutback residual, used lubricating oils, non-homogeneous materials like mixtures of petroleum liquids & solids, surface-film building petroleum liquids or liquids with a viscosity above 5.5 cSt at +40°C. Used in shipping & safety regulations to define flammable and combustible materials.
The unit consists of :
High-grade stainless steel housing with two-color powder coated, touch-key panel with large LC-display visible up to 10 m distance, swivel-mounted Multi-Function-Head - ONE-TWIST, two RS232-interfaces for data printer and computer connection, different test-programs, data-transfer and software upgrading through bi-directional interface, automatic barometric pressure control (correction), automatic overheat protection, power controlled/monitored electric igniter, gas igniter with auto-relighting and safety shut-off, re-cooling fan
The unit is supplied with PC-Software "PMANet" for easy handling, storing of data, as well as program transfer from PC to PMA 4. Results can be stored in the memory and transferred into Excel etc. Numerous programs can easily be set (e.g. Bitumen-program), copied from the memory and modified.
