Single Action Setting: The flash detector rings and the temperature sensor are permanently mounted on a swing-arm assembly, which allows an easy setting of the sample cup.
Easy Operation: Select a test mode and enter the expected flash point; while the instrument executes the test, you are free to do other lab work. The instrument follows the exact procedures prescribed in the test method, and the completion of the test cycle is signaled by beeps. The test result is brightly shown on the color LCD module.
Auto Fire Point Detection: In addition to the flash point, fire point can also be tested. The fire point is detected when the detection rings detect fire for five seconds.
Auto Fire Containment: The fire containment lid activates automatically to help putting out fire when aco-8 detects a fire point or specimen is burning up heavily.
Data Handling: The unit is equipped to store up to 200 test results and export to an optional printer or to a LIMS through an RS-232 port or USB memory.
USB Port: A USB port allows connecting USB keyboard for easy entering of sample and operator ID. USB flash memory can be utilized to export data to a PC or to save/copy/upload test parameters.
Skimmer for Surface Skin: A unique skimmer automatically removes the surface skin that forms on the sample when bitumen or some other samples are tested. Surface skin removal has been known to improve the precision and the safety of the COC flash point testing of such samples.
