Versatile and User-Friendly OperationThis manually-operated, bench-top equipment is ideal for routine laboratory analysis. Analog controls and manual flame ignition make it suitable for various laboratory environments, accepting a standard 50 ml test cup and operating reliably under ambient conditions.
FAQs of Cleaveland Flash and Fire Point Apparatus:
Q: How does the Cleaveland Flash and Fire Point Apparatus determine flash and fire points of petroleum products?
A: The apparatus heats a petroleum specimen in a brass test cup using a gas burner with manual flame ignition. As the temperature rises, the user observes the analog/dial display and applies a flame at intervals to detect the flash and fire points as per the ASTM method.
Q: What safety features are included in the equipment for laboratory use?
A: Safety is enhanced through an insulated handle for secure handling, a removable cover to shield from accidental exposure, and a powder-coated mild steel housing that resists heat and corrosion. These features help protect users during high-temperature testing.
Q: When and where can this apparatus be used effectively?
A: This apparatus is best suited for laboratory environments performing routine petroleum product analysis. It operates within ambient temperatures up to 350C and ambient humidity up to 80% RH, making it versatile for varying room conditions.
Q: What is the correct process for operating the flash and fire point test using this device?
A: The user fills the test cup with up to 70 ml specimen, heats it at a controlled rate using the gas burner, and periodically introduces a manual flame above the liquid. The flash and fire points are recorded based on the thermometer and dial readings.
Q: How is measurement accuracy ensured with the Cleaveland apparatus?
A: Measurement accuracy is maintained by the high-quality analog/dial display, which features a marker for precise readings. The thermometer covers up to 360C with a resolution of 1C and accuracy of 2C, providing reliable test results every time.
Q: What are the key benefits of using this apparatus in oil or petroleum laboratories?
A: Its robust construction, safe operation features, rapid testing speed, and manual analog control offer laboratories dependable, repeatable results, facilitating compliance with industry standards and improving workflow efficiency during flash and fire point determination.
