Keywords: Pensky-Martens flash point tester, PMCC flash point tester, closed-cup flash point tester, petroleum flash point testing, SYD-261 flash point apparatus

The SYD-261 is a benchtop Pensky-Martens closed-cup flash point tester for petroleum products. It uses a heated test cup, mechanical stirring, and a flame application device to determine flash point. The instrument supports Procedures A, B, and C described in GB/T 261-2021 and is intended for products with flash points above 40 °C; the manual states suitability for oils with flash points below 280 °C.

SYD-261 Pensky-Martens Flash Point Tester  

Key Features

1.  Designed for the Pensky-Martens closed-cup flash point method described in GB/T 261-2021.

2.  Three selectable test procedures with different heating rates and stirring speeds.

3.  600 W SiC electric furnace with manually adjustable heating power from 0 to 600 W.

4.  Mechanical stirring and a standard test cup with approximately 70 mL capacity.

5.  Gas flame application device with a 0.7–0.8 mm aperture.

6.  Observed results can be corrected to standard atmospheric pressure when ambient pressure is within the manual’s stated range.
