When flash point accuracy matters — in refinery quality labs, fuel testing facilities, or compliance-focused R&D environments — the Flash-93H delivers. This is a fully automatic Pensky-Martens Closed Cup (PMCC) flash point tester built to handle the real demands of daily laboratory testing, not just ideal conditions.
Designed and engineered to test a broad range of petroleum products, solvents, biodiesel, lubricants, and other homogeneous petroleum liquids, the Flash-93H operates across an impressive temperature range of 40°C to 360°C for petroleum products and 60°C to 190°C for biodiesel. Whether you are processing routine quality checks or performing detailed compliance testing, the instrument adapts without the need for manual reconfiguration.
What sets the Flash-93H apart is its combination of a PLC/microcontroller-based control system, intuitive touchscreen interface, and an inbuilt fire extinguishing system — all in a compact, stainless steel enclosure. The instrument fully automates arm movements including stirring, ignition, and flash detection, which dramatically reduces human error and operator fatigue in high-throughput environments.
The Flash-93H complies with all major international testing standards including ASTM D93 (A/B/C), ISO 2719 (A/B/C), IP-34 (A/B/C), JIS K2265, and IS1448 [P:21], making it the preferred choice for laboratories that must demonstrate regulatory compliance across global benchmarks.
Laboratories do not upgrade equipment without a reason. Here is why quality-focused labs consistently choose the Flash-93H over manual or semi-automatic alternatives:
The Flash-93H is packed with features that address the most common pain points in flash point testing — from inconsistent results due to manual handling, to safety concerns around flammable samples, to the time lost managing data manually.
The Flash-93H is designed for testing a wide range of liquid samples where flash point determination is required for safety classification, quality assurance, or regulatory compliance:

The Flash-93H supports ASTM D93 (procedures A, B, and C), ISO 2719 (A, B, and C), IP-34 (A, B, and C), JIS K2265, and IS1448 [P:21]. This multi-standard capability means test reports generated by the Flash-93H are accepted by regulatory bodies, export authorities, and quality certification agencies across multiple countries.
Yes. The Flash-93H has a dedicated temperature range of 60°C to 190°C for biodiesel testing, making it fully suitable for verifying that biodiesel blends meet the flash point requirements specified in standards such as EN 14214 and ASTM D6751.
The instrument is equipped with an automatic barometric pressure compensation system. Flash point is affected by ambient air pressure, so any deviation from the standard reference pressure (101.3 kPa) can affect results. The Flash-93H measures the ambient barometric pressure and automatically applies the standard correction formula to the detected flash point, giving you a corrected result that meets method requirements.
The Flash-93H supports both electric and gas ignition sources, and the selection is made via the touchscreen software interface — no manual hardware changes are required. The igniter movement is controlled by a precision DC motor, ensuring consistent positioning for every ignition attempt.
The Flash-93H incorporates a built-in fire sensor that monitors the sample throughout the test. In the event of an unintended ignition or fire, the instrument can be connected to an inert gas supply (CO₂ or N₂) for automatic extinguishing. In addition, multiple hardware and software safety interlocks prevent the instrument from operating under unsafe conditions. These features make the Flash-93H suitable for testing highly flammable samples in a laboratory environment.
Yes. The Flash-93H provides RS232, USB, and LAN Ethernet connectivity, allowing results to be transferred directly to computers, network-connected printers, or laboratory information management systems (LIMS). Results can also be generated as PDF reports directly from the instrument.
The Flash-93H is suitable for petroleum products, biodiesel, lubricating oils, turbine oils, transformer oils, solvents, cutting fluids, marine fuel oils, paints, coatings, and any other homogeneous petroleum-based liquid where PMCC flash point determination is required.
The Flash-93H operates on a 230V, 50Hz single-phase power supply. It requires an ambient operating temperature between 10°C and 35°C. If the gas ignition option is used, an appropriate gas supply connection is needed. For the fire extinguishing function, a CO₂ or N₂ inert gas cylinder must be connected.
The Flash-93H has a compact footprint of 410 mm (W) × 420 mm (D) × 330 mm (H) and weighs 16 kg. It is designed to sit comfortably on a standard laboratory bench. Despite its compact size, it does not compromise on features or safety.
The Flash-93H is designed for ease of use. The touchscreen interface guides operators through test setup, method selection, and result retrieval. While basic instrument familiarisation is recommended, the automation of all critical steps means that after a short training session, a competent technician can operate the instrument confidently and produce reliable results.
The objective is to cater to all verticals small & large scale industries by offering easy, simple & reliable instruments.
