1. ആമുഖം
The HZKS-3 Automatic Open Cup Flash Point Tester is an advanced analytical instrument designed for precise determination of the open flash point of petroleum products. Flash point is a critical safety parameter, representing the lowest temperature at which a liquid's vapors ignite in the presence of an open flame under specified test conditions. This instrument is essential for assessing the flammability hazards of various substances, crucial for transportation, storage, and operational safety management.
This tester is manufactured in accordance with international and national standards, including GB/T267-88, GB/T 3536-2008, European standards, and ASTM-D92, ensuring reliable and accurate results for a wide range of applications.

The HZKS-3 Automatic Open Cup Flash Point Tester automates the flash point determination process, minimizing user intervention and ensuring high reproducibility.
- Sampതയ്യാറാക്കൽ: ഒരു പ്രതിനിധിയെ നേടുക എസ്ample of the petroleum product to be tested. Ensure the sample is free from any suspended water or foreign matter. Fill the clean sample cup to the indicated fill line.
- എസ് ലോഡ് ചെയ്യുന്നുampLe: Carefully place the filled sample cup into the heating block of the instrument. Ensure it is seated correctly.
- പാരാമീറ്റർ ക്രമീകരണം: Using the instrument's touch screen or control panel, select the desired test standard (e.g., ASTM D92) and input any required test parameters, such as expected flash point range or heating rate, if applicable.
- Starting the Test: Initiate the test cycle. The instrument will automatically begin heating the sample at a controlled rate. At specified temperature intervals, the igniter will automatically apply a test flame to the sample ഉപരിതലം.
- Flash Point Detection: The instrument continuously monitors for a flash, which is a momentary flame appearing over the surface of the sample. Once a flash is detected, the instrument records the corresponding temperature as the flash point and typically stops the test.
- Results and Reporting: The determined flash point temperature will be displayed on the screen. The instrument may also store results or allow for printing, depending on its configuration.
- Post-Test Procedure: After the test, allow the sample cup and heating block to cool down. Carefully remove the sample cup and dispose of the sample safely. Clean the sample cup and igniter assembly as per maintenance guidelines.
