Pensky-Martens Flash Point (Closed) Apparatus

The Pensky-Martens Closed Cup Apparatus is used to determine the flash point of bitumen, fuel oils, and other petroleum products having a flash point above 49 C using a closed-cup method that provides more accurate and reproducible results for such products compared to open-cup methods. The sample is heated in a closed test cup fitted with a stirrer, and a test flame is introduced periodically through a shutter mechanism at specified temperature intervals to detect the flash point.

It has a brass coil cup fitted with a heat resistance handle. The cup is provided with a lid which includes stirring device, a cover, shutter and a flame explosive device. The shutter is operated by a spring handle. A flexible shaft is provided in the hand operated stirrer. A Cast Iron stove is fitted with a metal top plate mounted on an upright member (Gas Manifold) and it feeds a needle valve con-trolled burner.
