Product Description
MRC FP-3536D Automated Open-Cup Flash Point Tester
is an automated benchtop instrument for determination of flash point and fire point of qualifying petroleum products using the Cleveland open-cup method. It is designed for laboratories performing standardized open-cup testing to ASTM D92, ISO 2592, and GB/T 3536.
Trusted by process control engineers, quality control and test laboratories, and production facilities requiring accurate determination of open-cup flash points up to 400°C.
Important: Open-cup and closed-cup methods are not interchangeable. If your required method is Pensky-Martens closed-cup, please review the MRC FP-261D Pensky-Martens Closed-Cup Flash Point Auto-Tester.

FAQ
What test method does the FP-3536D use?
Designed for Cleveland Open-Cup flash point and fire point testing to ASTM D92, ISO 2592, and GB/T 3536.
What temperature range does it cover?
The instrument has a measuring range of ambient to 400°C.
Is FP-3536D a direct replacement for FP-261D?
No. FP-3536D is an open-cup tester, while FP-261D is a closed-cup Pensky-Martens tester. These are different methods for different applications. If your standard requires closed-cup testing, see the MRC FP-261D Pensky-Martens Closed-Cup Flash Point Auto-Tester.
Does the FP-3536D measure fire point as well as flash point?
Yes, it is designed for both flash point and fire point determination
Does the instrument support data handling?
Yes. The tester includes Bluetooth connectivity, real-time curve display, data query functions, and a built-in printer for test record output.
What sample volume does the oil cup hold?
The oil cup has an approximate testing capacity of 70 mL.
