New flash point tester introduced

GSE Focus
Flash point is a key parameter and many international specifications exist to ensure that aviation fuel meets standard performance requirements: these include mandated flash point parameters.

Setaflash's Small Scale Test Methods include ASTM D3828, which is fully specified for testing of jet fuel and offers unique advantages over many traditional flash point tests, including small sample size, rapid test time and ease of use.

The new range of Setaflash Series 3 Testers allows operators with a minimum of experience to quickly and reliably test samples. Compact and ruggedly designed, the instruments are suitable for laboratory or portable tests and ideal for use where space is limited. This new instrument features a very simple user interface with colour digital display and touchscreen icons which guide the operator through a straightforward testing process. Using Stanhope-Seta’s latest technology, a test typically takes under two minutes to perform, requiring just two millilitres of test sample, which keeps wastage and costs to a minimum. For easy record keeping, the instrument has a 1GB memory which stores up to 100,000 test results; these can be transferred via a USB for data analysis or printing from a computer.
