PAC Herzog OptiFlash Pensky-Martens flash point instrument

PAC has announced the release of its next-generation flash point instrument, the Herzog OptiFlash Pensky-Martens. The product is simple to use, easy to clean and safe to operate. It detects flash points up to 400°C and complies to global standards such as ASTM D93, ISO 2719, EN ISO 2719, IP 34, JIS K2265 and GB/T 261. 

With the product’s intuitive user interface and built-in automation, users can easily start a test without having to spend time doing manual tasks like installing the flash point and temperature sensors, as well as installing the test cup for each test. Its innovative design also makes it easy to clean, allowing the user to not only disassemble the cup cover without any tools but also to clean highly viscous samples, like bitumen. This improves the reliability of the test results significantly since users can now run a quick clean before running any new sample.

With its ultrafast optical flame detector, the instrument can detect a fire or even small flames in an extended range around the test cup. It replaces the previously released PAC flash point instruments - the Herzog HFP 339, Herzog HFP 360 and ISL FP93 5G2.
