This single instrument can automatically perform all primary flash point tests, reducing costs and saving space in the laboratory
Multiflash is said to be an entirely new testing concept: one unique instrument that automatically performs all primary flash point tests.
Multiflash is designed to perform Pensky Martens, Abel, Tag, Cleveland Small Scale and Equilibrium flash point tests.
Stanhope-Seta has developed Multiflash to provide users with a low cost, automatic instrument that will carry out tests in strict conformity to all primary flash point test methods.
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 five 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 two 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 'Seta Alert' 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 which also acts as a safety shield.
Test data are displayed on the instrument, results are stored for future use and can be downloaded to external printer or computer.
Multiflash is manufactured under ISO 9001 quality standards, the instrument fully conforms to laboratory safety requirements and incorporates three integral safety systems plus failsafe software.
The use of just one flash point test instrument assists a laboratory to reduce capital outlay, calibration and maintenance costs, whilst users benefit from the familiarity of performing tests using the same instrument, says Stanhope-Seta.
In addition many laboratories will benefit from the space saving which single instrument use offers.
