3.2 MINIFLASH versions
For different temperature ranges from -25°C up to 400°C (-50°F to 752°F) multiple MINIFLASH versions are available.
3.2.1 FP VISION – Standard Temperature Version Type 440
For flash points around -25°C up to 120°C (-13°F to 248°F), the touch-screen version FP VISION is
available. The oven of this tester consists of two heating cartridges to achieve temperatures as high
as 120°C. Also, the oven consists of two high performance Peltier elements to assure fast cooling of
the tester.
3.2.2 FPH VISION - High temperature version Type 441
For flash points around 10°C to 400°C (50°F to 752°F), the high temperature touch-screen version
FPH VISION is available. The oven of this tester consists of four heating cartridges to achieve
temperatures as high as 400°C. The oven consists of Peltier elements mounted on a patented
cooling block to assure the cooling of the tester. However, this high temperature range can only be
achieved with a very special technical arrangement.
Note: Flashpoint standards usually require starting at least 18°C below the expected flashpoint
for standard compliant flashpoint measurements.
