The Perfect Solutions for Lubricant Flash Point Testing
Jun 16 2025
Anton Paar’s PMA 500, PMA 300, and CLA 5 are perfectly suited for flash and fire point testing of lubricants – a key requirement for product specification and safety during usage, storage, and transport.
The Pensky-Martens flash point tester PMA 500 is ideal for customers with high sample throughput. Cooling time after a measurement is up to 20 % shorter than other instruments on the market, which is particularly important when testing samples with high flash point temperatures, such as lubricating oils.
The PMA 500 and the PMA 300 are equipped with a patented, award-winning electric ignition system that lasts over 10 times longer than conventional systems used in comparable instruments, helping reduce operating costs. Both models are also designed for straightforward cleaning – especially relevant when testing lubricating oils. Another advantage of the PMA 500 is its fully automatic multi-function head and a status light that communicates the measurement status from afar.
Anton Paar’s Cleveland flash point tester CLA 5 is perfect for flash and fire point testing of lubricants. It delivers precise results, is easy to use and clean, and places a strong focus on safety, with features such as overheat protection and a fire-dampening system. The CLA 5 is also ideally suited for silicone oils or silicone-containing products.
