Cleveland Open Cup Flash Point Testers
Category：Oil Testing Equipment
Introduction
The Cleveland Open Cup Flash Point Tester can automatically test the flash point and ignition point of petroleum products (the ignition point of oil exceeding 80 ° C, except crude oil and petroleum fuel)， and can be compared with the test results of manual instruments, very simple and convenient.
Meets the ISO 2592 standard. Its programmable logic controller and touch screen (5.5 “) help automate testing, and managing test results is easy.
Application
Covering Multiple Industries, Driving Safety and Efficiency Upgrades
Petrochemical Industry
Refining and Quality Inspection: Monitoring flash point changes in processes such as crude oil distillation and lubricant blending to ensure product quality. For example, a refinery reduced the lubricant rejection rate from 2% to 0.5% by real-time flash point detection.
Asphalt Production: Testing asphalt flash point to meet JTJ052 standards and prevent spontaneous combustion risks during transportation.
Power and Energy Sector
Transformer Oil Testing: Determining the flash point of transformer oil according to DL/T 596 standard to assess its insulation performance and aging degree. For example, a power plant found that the flash point of a transformer oil had dropped to 130℃ through testing, and timely replacement prevented equipment failure.
New Energy Research and Development: Studying the flash point characteristics of new fuels such as biodiesel and hydrogen carriers to promote the application of clean energy.
Transportation Industry
Railways and Aviation: Detecting the flash point of locomotive oil and aviation lubricants to ensure operational safety. For example, an airline found that the flash point of a batch of aviation fuel was too low through testing, and suspended the use of that batch of fuel to avoid flight accidents.

FAQ
1. What is the primary purpose of this tester?
It determines the flash point of flammable liquids, oils, and chemicals using the Cleveland open cup method to assess fire and safety hazards.
2. Which materials can be tested using this device?
The tester is suitable for petroleum products, lubricants, solvents, chemical solutions, and other flammable liquids.
3. How does the tester operate?
It gradually heats a liquid sample in an open cup while periodically applying a test flame. The flash point is recorded when the vapors ignite momentarily.
4. Which standards does this tester comply with?
It supports international flash point testing standards, including ASTM D92. ISO 2592. and IP 36.
5. Who typically uses this equipment?
Petroleum refineries, chemical manufacturers, quality control laboratories, and research institutions use it to evaluate safety, classify flammable liquids, and ensure regulatory compliance.
