The automatic Tag closed-cup tester measures the flash point, the lowest temperature at which the vapours of a sample ignite upon the application of an ignition source. The tester can also be used to detect the ability of a sample to yield flammable vapors when maintained at an equilibrium temperature by the flash/no flash method.
TAG 4 is suitable for flash point applications of jet fuels, solvents, chemicals, etc.
Benefits at a Glance
• Two cooling systems with Peltier elements are available: an economical air-cooled model and a low-temperature version with external water cooling
• The two ignition systems in each unit give you the flexibility to work with an electric or gas igniter: if the gas ignition is used, the electric igniter will automatically relight the gas flame during the test, if necessary
• The patented One-Twist swivel-around multi-function head guarantees the safe and easy one-hand connection of all sensors and actuators such as the shutter release, igniter and detector contacts
• An extended measuring range up to 110 °C enables you to go beyond the conventional scope of the method
Convenient Operation
• Test initiation by pre-installed standard test methods and ability to customize methods by user-defined programs
• Outside flame sensors increase the system’s safety, especially for work with samples that have no conventional flash point but burn outside the test cup (e.g. due to flame-inhibiting components)
• Splashproof touch-key panel with large LCD
• A multi-detector combines the flash point detector and the temperature probe in a solid housing with a perfectly adjusted immersion depth
Customized User Flexibility
• PC-software FPPNet (optional) for convenient remote handling and test data storage
• Insulation hood (optional) to protect the cover and shutter assembly from icing during low-temperature flash point tests
• Draft deflector (optional) recommended for gas ignition tests
• Calibration set (optional)
• Small-volume sample cup (optional)
