OilLab 600 -Flash Point Pensky Martens
Flash Point on petroleum products, gas oils, fuel oils, lubrificants, biodiesel. Suitable for flash point detection on different substances, waste materials, solvents…
Measuring Pensky Martens Principle
The sample is heated and stirred at specified rates, using one of three defined procedures (A, B, or C). An ignition source is directed into the test cup at regular intervals with simultaneous interruption of the stirring, until a flash is detected.
Measuring Parameters

Ignition system
- Instrument equipped with flame ignition device made in brass, with 0.7 mm diameter orifice for analysis with gas also provided with electrical ignitor hot-wire that automatically passes through the center of large opening (A) of the proper cup cover.
Pilot Flame
- Secondary pilot flame gas propelled for re-enlight the test flame, alternatively elictrical ignitor hot wire shall be used; a bead of 4 mm is provided to compare flame dimensions.
Measuring Temperature Devices
- Sample temperature is measured with a platinum resistance PT100 Class A with SS sheath and high temperature resistant silicone cable
- Bath temperature is measured with a PT100 sensor
Dual flash point detection system
- By ionisation ring
- By thermal sensor
Barometric correction
