ERAFLASH LT: Low-Temperature Flash Point Testing

The ERAFLASH LT (model EF20) is the specialized low-temperature model of the ERAFLASH series, designed for rapid and precise flash point measurements down to -40 °C. It utilizes a unique stacked Peltier design to enable testing significantly below ambient temperatures while drastically reducing cooling times. By following the inherently safe Continuously Closed Cup (CCCFP) method, it provides maximum safety for laboratories handling highly volatile samples.

Key Features

-
  • Xtra Low Range: Specifically designed for low-temperature testing down to -40 °C oven temperature.
  • Xtra Fast Turnaround: The unique stacked Peltier design increases cooling speeds by approximately 35%, significantly reducing waiting times between tests.
  • Xtra Safe Analysis: Based on the CCCFP method with a continuously closed cup and no open flame, ensuring maximum safety for the operator.
  • Xtra Precise Control: Features patented Peltier Boost Technology™ for high-precision heating and cooling across the entire range.
  • Xtra Smart Maintenance: Equipped with Contamination Prevention Technology™ (CPT), featuring a self-cleaning ignition system to minimize cleaning efforts.
  • Xtra Compact Footprint: A rugged stand-alone analyzer that takes up minimal laboratory bench space while offering full PC functionality.
  • Smart Ice Prevention: Specialized cover cups prevent ice formation on the oven surface during cooling and eliminate condensation at the heat sink.
  • Advanced Pre-Cooling: Allows for pre-cooling of samples within the instrument before the measurement cycle starts.

Applications

+

The ERAFLASH LT is the preferred choice for measuring samples with low flash points or those requiring rapid cooling cycles:

  • Flavors & Fragrances: Ideal for the safe and precise testing of highly volatile essences and expensive fragrance compounds.
  • Crude Oil Testing: Perfect for analyzing crude oils that contain high amounts of light, volatile components.
  • Solvents & Chemicals: Used for the classification and safety characterization of various chemical solvents in accordance with transportation regulations.
  • Product Quality Control: Fast turnaround times make it excellent for routine QC in production environments where efficiency is key.
  • Research & Development: Provides the flexibility needed for R&D labs to explore low-temperature flash point characteristics of new formulations.

Technical Highlights
