Introduction
Product Introduction
The Cleveland Open Cup Flash Point Tester is an advanced automatic instrument designed to determine the flash point and ignition point of petroleum products whose ignition temperature exceeds 80°C (excluding crude oil and petroleum fuels). The system integrates modern control technology, enabling automated testing that closely matches the results of traditional manual instruments while significantly simplifying the operation.
The device is equipped with a PLC control system and a 5.5-inch color touch screen that allows comprehensive monitoring of test status and parameters on one interface. It supports full data processing and storage and provides reliable performance for laboratories requiring consistent and accurate flash point determination.
This instrument fully complies with ISO 2592 (Cleveland Open Cup Method) and other international standards.

FAQ
1. What is the purpose of the Cleveland Open Cup Flash Point Tester?
It is used to determine the flash and fire points of petroleum products by heating the sample in an open cup while applying a test flame. This helps assess product safety, quality, and compliance with transportation and storage regulations.
2. How does this automatic tester differ from a manual Cleveland tester?
The automatic model controls heating rate, flame application, flash detection, and data recording automatically. This reduces operator fatigue, improves accuracy, and ensures test consistency across repeated runs.
3. What types of petroleum products can be tested?
The instrument is suitable for testing oils with flash points above 80°C, including lubricating oils, hydraulic oils, insulating oils, and other refined petroleum products. It is not intended for crude oils or petroleum fuels.
4. Do I need special ventilation when operating the device?
Yes. The instrument should be used in a well-ventilated laboratory with an exhaust capacity of at least 50 L/s, as small amounts of flammable vapors are released during testing.
5. How are test results stored or exported?
Results can be viewed on the touch screen, printed via the built-in micro printer, or stored digitally depending on the model configuration. Data management features help organize and track historical test results.
