Cleveland Open Cup Flash Point Tester LOFP-A11

The Cleveland Open Cup Flash Point Tester LOFP-A11 is capable of detecting both the flash point (the temperature at which vapors ignite briefly) and the fire point (when sustained burning occurs for at least 5 seconds). This dual detection helps evaluate both the ignition risk and the fire hazard of a substance more accurately. The unit supports safety classification and compliance with industry regulations in petroleum, chemical, and transport sectors. Having both measurements in a single test improves testing efficiency and reduces the need for duplicate procedures.

Labtron’s Cleveland Open Cup Flash Point Tester LOFP-A11 is equipped with an ion detection ring that automatically senses the presence of a flame during combustion. It detects changes in ion concentration, confirming ignition without relying on visual cues. This feature makes this unit more accurate and consistent in determining flash and fire points. It also improves safety and eliminates manual observation errors during high-temperature testing.

The Cleveland Open Cup Flash Point Tester LOFP-A11 is well-suited for testing dark and viscous samples such as heavy oils, greases, and asphalt. The open cup design and wide temperature range of up to 400?°C make it capable of handling thicker substances effectively. It delivers consistent results with uniform heating and stable flame application. Optical clarity or sample color does not affect performance, ensuring accurate detection regardless of the sample appearance.

Our Cleveland Open Cup Flash Point Tester LOFP-A11 can be used for a variety of oil types, including motor oil, transformer oil, and hydraulic oil, without requiring recalibration between each sample. To ensure accurate results, it is important to clean the sample cup and test chamber thoroughly between tests. Calibration of the tester should be checked periodically with standard reference materials. For high-precision laboratories, monthly calibration verification is recommended.

The Cleveland Open Cup Flash Point Tester LOFP-A11 includes built-in safety mechanisms that automatically stop heating and ignition if a power failure or overheating is detected. Once safe conditions are restored, the unit enters standby mode and alerts the operator to reset or reconfigure the system. These interlocks protect both the user and the equipment from damage. Regular inspection of the tester’s power connections and grounding is essential to prevent such interruptions.

Our Cleveland Open Cup Flash Point Tester LOFP-A11 should be cleaned after every test to remove carbon residues and prevent buildup in the sample cup and ignition zone. Weekly maintenance should include inspection and cleaning of the gas line, ion ring, and ignition nozzle. The external surface and LCD screen of the tester can be cleaned with a soft, dry or lightly damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive tools that might damage sensitive components.
