The OilLab 650 and OilLab 650 Plus are advanced, CE-marked instruments for determining the flash point of petroleum products and related substances using the Abel closed cup method. Fully compliant with EN 924, EN 13736, IP 170, IP 491, IP 492, ISO 1516, ISO 3679, and ISO 13736, these testers provide reliable flash point detection for products with values between -18°C and +71°C, including kerosene, solvents, chemicals, and waste materials.
Applications
• Determination of flash point in petroleum products
• Suitable for kerosene, solvents, and volatile chemicals
• Testing waste materials and mixed substances
• Ideal for refineries, chemical labs, R&D, and regulatory testing
Measuring Principle (Abel Method)
The sample is heated according to standard methods. When the programmed test temperature is reached, the shutter opens automatically, and the ignition system introduces the flame or electrical ignitor. If the flash point is detected, the ionization detector records it. If not, the shutter closes, and the sample continues heating until the next programmed test point.
