Multiple success for modular flashpoint tester

Stanhope-Seta has successfully won a large contract to supply 22 Automatic Flashpoint instruments to the Middle East. A total of 19 Multiflash Pensky Martens and three Multiflash Tag instruments were chosen.

MULTIFLASH is designed to provide users with a low cost, automatic instrument that will carry out tests in conformity to all primary Flash Point test methods and test samples, namely Pensky Martens, Abel, Tag, Cleveland, Small scale & Equilibrium Flash Point. The ultra modern design incorporates rugged electronics and mechanics that are engineered for high-throughput, continuous use. The instrument is simple to calibrate and constructed for low maintenance.

MULTIFLASH also provides unrivalled ease of use and comprises a universal console that accommodates 5 interchangeable test cup modules. “Module recognition” software automatically installs the relevant test protocol according to the module in use. All operations are performed using just 2 buttons and a unique SMART (Seta Multifunctional and Rotational Test) control, which allows quick and secure setting of calibration, test temperatures and parameters.

Operating features include gas or electric ignition, fully automatic flash detection, automatic barometric pressure correction, automatic cooling, and audible ‘end of test’ warning using ‘SetAlert’ optional radio-pager system. Precise results are obtained using platinum resistance temperature sensors and to aid consistent and accurate performance the instrument has an integral draught screen, this also acts as a safety shield. Test data is displayed on the instrument; results are stored for future use and can be downloaded to external printer or computer.
