23. Stirring Propeller: To maintain sample homogeneity throughout the duration of the test.
24. Sample Temperature Probe: Measures sample temperature during testing.
25. Ionization Detector: For automatic detection of the sample's flash point.
26. Flame Detection Thermocouple: For continuous monitoring of pilot flame during testing. In the
event the test flame goes out, the Flame detection thermocouple will automatically detect this and
initiate re-lighting of the flame.
27. Pilot Flame: The pilot flame ensures the test flame is lit prior to each test dip.
28. Electric Ignitor: Alternative means for applying heat source to initiate a flash point. The electric
ignitor is also used to light the pilot flame.
29. Gas Ignitor: Referee means for applying heat source to initiate a flash point.
30. Application Mechanism: Houses gas / electric ignitor assembly. Automatically lowers ignitor into
test cup at intervals in accordance to the prescribed test method.
31. Electric Ignitor Cable: Reinforced cable for connecting to Ignitor Connection Port (Figure 1, Item 8).
32. Gas Tubing: Provides means for gas source to reach gas ignitor.
