Petrolab Offers PMA-5 Pensky-Martens Flash Point Tester
BROKEN ARROW, OK- AMETEK Petrolab now offers the Petrotest PMA-5 Pensky-Martens (ASTM D93) flash point tester that performs flash point testing of petroleum products using Pensky-Martens closed-cup ASTM D93 A, B and C methods and is certified for both biodiesel and biodiesel blended fuels along with such distillate fuels as diesel, heating oil and kerosene and such potentially flammable liquids as lubricating oils, paints and varnishes.
Among the features of this highly versatile, bench-top instrument with an integrated fire extinguisher system are an over-temperature protection circuit, splash-proof membrane key panel, and a built-in sensor for automatic barometric pressure correction. The PMA-5 also offers both gas and electric ignition options standard. In addition, the time interval between two consecutive flash point tests has been reduced to a minimum through the PMA-5's convenient to use multi-function head.
Among the advantages of the PMA-5 is its ability to heat samples, while the machine performs tests unattended. Heating keeps samples with a high-melting point liquid at temperatures above 150oC, allowing for the immediate start of the stirrer when flash point testing begins. This saves time and makes cleaning easier.
The PMA-5 tester is available in North America from AMETEK Petrolab Company, a unit of AMETEK Process & Analytical Instruments, a division of AMETEK, Inc., a leading global manufacturer of electromechanical devices with annual sales of $3.0 billion.
