Anton Paar flash point testers: Safe, reliable, and ready for the future

Flash point testing is essential for ensuring the safe handling, classification, storage, and transport of flammable liquids across a wide range of industries. From fuels and petrochemicals to solvents, coatings, specialty chemicals, and emerging sustainable formulations, flash point results underpin regulatory compliance and operational safety worldwide. However, as product portfolios expand and regulations tighten, laboratories are increasingly challenged to deliver accurate, traceable results while protecting operators and maintaining consistent uptime.

Anton Paar addresses these requirements with a comprehensive portfolio of instruments designed to comply with recognised industry standards, including: 

• PMA 300/500: ASTM D93, EN ISO 2719, IP 34, GB T 261, and JIS K 2265-3
• ABA 300/500: ISO 13736, ISO 1516, ISO 1523, IP 170, IP 491, and IP 492
• TAG 300/500: ASTM D56, ASTM D3941, ASTM D3934, ISO 1516, and ISO 1523
• CLA 5: ASTM D92, ISO 2592, IP 36, and JIS K 2265-4

Anton Paar flash point testers are designed to handle diverse sample types and volumes. Interchangeable brass or stainless steel test cups, including mini cup options, allow flexible testing scenarios in routine quality control, certification, and research environments.

The closed-cup models – PMA 300/500, ABA 300/500, and TAG 300/500 – feature a patented ceramic-coated electric igniter engineered for long service life. This ensures consistent ignition in routine operation and repeatable, standards-compliant results. Fewer replacements reduce downtime and the need for maintenance, while the extended component lifetime helps control operating costs.

With AP Connect, flash point testers are seamlessly integrated into modern lab IT systems, supporting secure data handling, traceability, and data integrity through standardised interfaces. Lab 4.0 readiness is built in across the entire portfolio, including low‑ and high‑tier models, helping laboratories standardise workflows and future‑proof their operations.

By combining standards‑compliant methodology, robust safety features, durable components, and digital connectivity, Anton Paar flash point testers provide laboratories with a reliable foundation for safe, efficient, and future‑ready flash point testing.
