Step … this temperature step defines the
interval for every ignition.
Heatrate … This temperature defines the
heating ramp of the sample.
Air … amount of air which is introduced in the
measurement chamber after every ignition.
Stirrer … Check box to activate the stirrer
Ignition duration … this sets the length of the
ignition pulse
ΔPmax … this sets the limit where a flashpoint is
detected. The default value is 20 kPa
Cold filling … This check box activates the
sample cup cooling. The procedure for the
measurement will change, the empty cup will be
pre-cooled before the actual sample can be
introduced in the measurement cup.
Quality assurance … This activates the statistical
quality control according to D6299
Quality assurance Tag … Insert the name for the
SQC Tag here
Published Reproducibility … Enter the published
reproducibility from the ASTM standard here
Accuracy monitoring … activate the monitoring
of the measurement
ARV … Accepted Reference Value
Pass/Fail- Evaluation … the pass/fail evaluation
selector on/off
Nominal value … expected flash point of the
specimen
Lower failure offset and Upper failure offset …
value to show the result red marked
Lower warning and Upper warning offset …
values to show the result yellow marked
Precaution interval … interval for safety ignition
when the sample is colder than Ti. The
measurement is stopped in case a flashpoint is
detected during the heating to Ti.
Stirrer … The speed of the magnetic stirrer can
