The new Setaflash Series 3 ActiveCool is the latest in the range of Setaflash instruments. It is designed to rapidly and efficiently carry out ASTM D3828 Flash/No Flash tests to determine the flash point of liquids and semi-solids in the 10 to 135â—¦C temperature range. The Series 3 ActiveCool sample cup is heated and cooled by peltier cells, this combined with requiring just 2ml of sample to complete a test means the target temperature is reached quickly and rapid temperature normalization is achieved between tests. A large, colour touch screen display with innovative menu icons guides the user through the four step test procedure, results can then be saved internally or to a USB stick. A corrosion resistant model is also available.

Setaflash instruments offer a simple and cost effective test that can be undertaken either in the laboratory or in the field. A range of innovative features ensures ease of use with only minimal operator skill required. Many traditional flash point tests require a large volume of sample (typically 70-80ml) and take 30 minutes or longer to perform, however the Setaflash test takes just 1 or 2 minutes to complete and requires a small sample size of 2 to 4ml, saving costs and reducing waste.

Setaflash is an internationally recognized and approved flash point test method giving proven results, specified in many international specifications and correlating with other closed cup methods, such as Pensky-Martens, Abel and Tag, for a wide range of products and industries.
