Abel Flash Point Tester:
ABA 4

Benefits at a Glance

• Two cooling systems with Peltier elements according to the new ISO 13736 standard: 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 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, stirrer, igniter and detector contacts
• An extended measuring range up to 110 °C enables you to go beyond the conventional scope of the Abel 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
• A probe verification program checks the proper functioning of the temperature probe and allows a bias adjustment by using a special calibration kit (optional)

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
• Abel-Pensky test insert (optional)
• Calibration set (optional)
• Stainless steel or small-volume sample cup (optional)
