    • Flash Point Testers

    Choose the Right Flash Point Tester for Your Method

    LabGear USA offers two automated MRC flash point testers for different test methods and application ranges. The FP-261D is designed for Pensky-Martens closed-cup testing, while the FP-3536D is designed for Cleveland open-cup testing.

    FP-261DFP-3536D

    Important: Open-cup and closed-cup methods are not interchangeable. Choose based on your required testing standard, expected flash point range, and sample/application fit.

    Selection Factor MRC FP-261D MRC FP-3536D
    Method Type Pensky-Martens Closed-Cup Cleveland Open-Cup
    Standards ASTM D93, ISO 2719, GB/T 261 ASTM D92, ISO 2592, GB/T 3536
    Temperature Range Ambient to 230°C Ambient to 400°C
    What It Measures Flash point Flash point and fire point
    Best-Fit Samples  Combustible liquids with flash points above 40°C, including liquids with suspended particles or film-forming surfaces under test conditions Petroleum products with flash points above 79°C and below 400°C, except fuel oils
    Typical Applications Petroleum, lubricants, solvents, chemicals, coatings, industrial QC, universities, research labs Petroleum products, lubricants, base oils, refinery/blending labs, contract petroleum testing labs
    Automation Highlights 8-inch touchscreen, automatic pressure correction, Bluetooth, automatic lid/arm/ignition/detection/printing, automatic air cooling 8-inch touchscreen, automatic pressure correction, Bluetooth, automatic scanning/ignition logic, built-in printer, automatic extinguishing after fire point
    Choose This Model When... Your required method is closed-cup and your routine work fits within the published 230°C range Your required method is open-cup and you need higher-temperature capacity up to 400°C
    Consider the Other Model When... You need open-cup testing, fire point determination, or a published range above 230°C You need Pensky-Martens closed-cup testing for broader combustible-liquid applications

    Quick guidance: Choose FP-261D for routine closed-cup ASTM D93 work. Choose FP-3536D for open-cup ASTM D92 testing and higher-temperature applications up to 400°C.
