FAQ's of Cleaveland Flash & Fire Point Apparatus:
Q: How does the Cleveland Flash & Fire Point Apparatus determine the flash and fire points of petroleum products?
A: The apparatus gently heats the petroleum sample contained in a brass cup while monitoring the temperature. A pivoted cylindrical gas jet exposes the sample to a flame at regular intervals until a flash or sustained fire point is observed, following ASTM D92 and IP 36 standards.
Q: What are the main benefits of using this apparatus for laboratory testing?
A: It delivers accurate and reliable flash and fire point measurements with 2C accuracy, ensuring compliance with international standards. Its robust construction, safety features, and high-quality components promote consistent performance and operator protection.
Q: When should this apparatus be used in petroleum product analysis?
A: This equipment is best utilized during routine quality control or regulatory compliance testing of petroleum-based samples, specifically to determine the temperature at which products become hazardous due to vapor ignition.
Q: Where can the apparatus be installed and operated efficiently?
A: Designed for laboratory and industrial environments, the apparatus mounts securely on benchtops. Its compact profile and box packaging allow for easy setup and safe transportation to facilities across India.
Q: What is the typical process for conducting a flash and fire point test using this apparatus?
A: The operator fills the standard brass cup with a 150 ml specimen, sets up the thermometer, and heats the sample manually either with a gas jet or optional electric heater. As the temperature rises, the flame applicator is pivoted over the sample to observe flash/fire events.
Q: How does the manual operation benefit users during the testing procedure?
A: Manual control allows operators to responsively adjust heating and testing speed, enhancing precision and safety during critical steps. It ensures direct observation for accurate data collection and prompt response to changing sample conditions.
Q: What safety precautions are incorporated in the apparatus design?
A: Safety is prioritized with a heat-resistant shield and insulated handle to protect operators from accidental burns. The robust construction and high-quality materials reduce exposure to heated surfaces and enhance overall user safety during operation.
