eralytics - Model ERAFLASH S10 -Flash Point Autosampler
The ERAFLASH S10, produced by eralytics, is a sophisticated flash point tester that integrates a 10-position autosampler to deliver efficient, reliable, and safe flash point measurements. Utilizing CCCFP methods such as ASTM D7094, ASTM D6450, and IP620, the ERAFLASH S10 is designed for unattended operations requiring only 1-2 ml of sample. It`s engineered for high-throughput laboratories and requires minimal space. The device employs Peltier Boost Technology® to allow testing across a temperature range of -25 °C to 420 °C. This technology not only enables precise temperature control but also reduces turnaround time by managing the elements through differential heating and cooling cycles. The optional cooling lid serves to maintain stable temperatures for volatile samples, enhancing the accuracy and reliability of results.
Autosampler for Flash Point Testing
ERAFLASH S10 is the first 10-position autosampler for flash point testing. It uses the intrinsically safe methods ASTM D7094 and ASTM D6450. With a low sample volume of 1-2 ml only and the continuously closed sample cups they are ideally suited to built a completely safe autosampler for flash point testing.
This makes ERAFLASH S10 the ideal solution for unattended flash point testing.
When looking at valuable products, especially with small batch sizes, flash point testing using the well-known Pensky Martens principle can consume a significant amount of sample, thus leading to high analytical costs. When performing flash point testing according to ASTM D7094 just 2 ml of the sample are needed. ASTM D6450 reduces this volume even further to 1 ml.
ERAFLASH S10 is therefore a welcome addition to testing labs handling large amounts of costly samples every day. This includes fragrances, paints and varnishes producers.
Similar to eralytics’ single position flash point tester the patented PBT – Peltier Boost Technology™ allows flash point testing below 0°C (32°F) and above 200°C (392°F) with a single instrument. PBT separates the Peltier elements during the heat up at 100°C shielding them from higher temperatures that would normally harm them. During cool down, however, they can be used for active cooling starting at 200°C and thus reduce the turnaround time significantly. PBT also facilitates the same temperature range of -25°C (-13°F) to 420°C (788°F) of our single position flash point tester in an autosampler for flash point testing.
Optional Cooling Lid
Another great benefit is the optional cooling lid for the ERAFLASH S10 ten-position autosampler – which is a unique solution for many reasons: The pre-cooled lid allows easy and time-saving sample preparation. As a consequence the sample cups are pre-cooled as well what means that no complicate cooling prior sample filling is necessary.
The pre-cooled samples need less intensive cooling during sample measuring resulting in shorter turn-around times. As no elevated temperatures are reached and volatile compounds are far less likely to evaporate before measurement is started, more precise and reliable results are reached.
Just four easy steps are required for an unattended safe and fast flash point testing at maximum precision:
- Enter sample IDs and operator name
- Select the measurement standards and add additional parameters (e.g. expected flash point)
- Fill up to 10 sample cups with samples, place the sample cups on the carousel and close the cover plate
- Press the RUN button
During flash point testing the instrument visualizes the measurement procedure on the screen showing the sample and oven temperature as well as pressure gauge displaying the pressure increase after ignition.Additional information about the currently measured sample, as well as finished and still samples to be measured are displayed. After the measurements the flash point temperature is corrected for the atmospheric pressure and rounded to the next 0.5°C. All results will be saved in the corresponding result file.
