Tried and Tested Process Flashpoint Analysis

The FPA-4 flash point process analyser from BARTEC BENKE (Germany) offers rest assured continuous flash point temperature analysis for kerosene, diesel and other refined products with a low sulphur level.  The latest version has an extended temperature range of 25 to 180 degrees Celsius. This analyser performs a catalytic oxidization technique which significantly reduces coking of samples on the cell hence reducing maintenance needs. This versatile and cost effective instrument can analyse from multiple streams of samples within ASTM correlation based on catalytic reaction.

Users of the FPA-4 enjoy peace of mind as this analyser incorporates overflow protection, integrated failure diagnosis and self-monitoring, scheduled automatic regeneration. A validation report for quality assurance is available and, like all of the BARTEC analysers, the unit works with Modbus/RTU. Modbus/TCP (bidirectional) interfaces and remote access can be achieved with Ethernet (VDSL or FOC is) and it is can be programmed via digital and analogue inputs.
