This apparatus is suitable for determining the close cup flash point of petroleum and mixtures according to IP 33 and IP 170 and also IS 1448 (Part I) 1985 (P:20). Used for determining of the closed cup Flash point of Petroleum Products, their mixtures, others liquids & Paints having Flash Point below 700C. The apparatus consists of one brass cup and cover fitted with shutter mechanism test flame arrangement(Oil test jet or Gas test jet) and stirrer, placed on a water bath made of Stainless Steel double walled. The outer jacket of the water bath is fitted with a stand. For electrically heated apparatus, heater is fitted to the stand the heat of which may be controlled different temperature regulation system of operated on 220 Volts AC mains. For Gas heated model the drum is heated by a burner. 

 

This is widely used for determination of closed cup Flash Point of Fuel Oil, cut back asphalts, other viscous material and suspension of solids having a flash point about 490C(1200F).The apparatus serve the purpose according to IP 34, ASTM-D-93-58T, IS-1448(P:I) 1960(P:21) and IS 1209/1958 method B. The apparatus consists of Brass Test cup with handle removable cup cover with spring operated rotating shutter having piolet jet, stirrer with flexible shaft. The assembly rests in Air Bath which is covered with Dome shape metal top. The cup is fitted with insulated handle and locking arrangement near cup plange. The assembly rests on a round shaped heater with different temperature regulation system suitable for operation on 220 Volts AC mains. 

 

The apparatus is used for determination of Flash Point & Fire Point of Petroleum products except fuel oil with open flash 800C as per specification IP 36/57, IS 1448(P:69) 1969 and ASTM-D-92-67. The apparatus consists of a cup heating plate to specific dimensions thermometer clip and test flame attachment with swivel joint for passing over liquid surface in the prescribed manner, heater is controlled by means of different types of regulators fitted to the apparatus suitable for operation on 220 Volts AC mains. 

 

This is made as a specified by IP-15, ASTM-D-97/57 & IS-1448-1970 the pour point is the lowest temperature at which the oil will just fail to flow. The apparatus consists of a main cooling bath made of stainless steel sheet and stand unit with drain plug and cover with provision for fitting thermometer and a filling aperture for adding freezing mixture. A glass jar for containing oils, jacket, disc and gasket as specified are also provided. 

 

This instrument is used to estimate approximate unconfined compressive strength and the estimation of shear strength of soil.

Cohesive soils can also be classified in terms of consistency using this penetrometer. This is a handy and convenient instrument.

 Specification:

•It consists of a light weight barrel assembly with polished and ground steel loading piston plunger.

•A direct reading scale is engraved on the piston barrel and indicates load in kg./sq/cm/. A maximum load indicator ring is provided on the penetration plunger.

•The calibrated spring is heat treated and plated for rust resistance.

•The barrel diameter is 20mm and the length 150mm.
