Pensky Martens tester is a standardized measuring instrument for determining the flash point of volatile liquids with flash point exceeding 50°. This equipment enables to measure the flash point (up to 370°C) of distilled oils (diesel fuel, kerosene), fuel oils, lubricating oils, etc… The used method is that of closed cup. This instrument mainly consists of a small boiler housing the sample and equipped with a sealing cover where a thermometer and a stirrer are inserted. This cover is also equipped with a spring device enabling to open three slots and to approach a small flame to one of these slots, at the same time. This operation is repeated at regular time intervals as soon as the temperature of the sample rises for heating until the vapors coming out of the boiler take fire. The temperature read at this moment represents the flash point of the sample.
