MILITARY FLASHPOINT ANALYZER FOR AVIATION FUEL ACCEPTANCE TESTING

CONTACT: Angel Schell (918) 459-7170

Broken Arrow, OK – AMETEK Petrolab offers the MARFLASH, a flameless flashpoint tester used for acceptance testing of JP5, JP8 / Jet A1, Diesel DF-2 fuels and ASTM D6450 Flashpoint. This rugged lab and field instrument is the result of cooperative development between Petrolab and the United States Marine Corps.
The adoption and use of the MARFLASH by the U.S. Marine Corps has improved fuel safety through greatly simplified personnel training and equipment maintenance. It has proven both accurate and durable while providing users with exceptional fire safety and analytical performance. The MARFLASH is based on the MINIFLASH Series of flash point testers that utilizes a patented detection method to determine the flash point of solids and liquids.

Exceptional Safety And Ease Of Use
Flashpoint tests are performed automatically in a closed-cup chamber with no open flame or auxiliary fuel, once the operator presses the RUN key. The MARFLASH requires only 1.0 mL of sample which minimizes fire hazards. The small sample size facilitates cool-down between tests to improve instrument productivity and reduces sample disposal concerns. Cleaning is easy with no need for solvents. Test completion is indicated by an audible signal and red/yellow/green visual indicator lights on the MARFLASH front panel.

Data Handling Capabilities
Test conditions and results are oF / oC selectable and are displayed on a back-lit LCD display (Temperature Range: 0 to 200C). Previous test data may be stored to compare and predict the percent contamination of products tested by their change in flashpoint. Test results can be transferred to a printer or computer via a standard RS232 serial port

The MARFLASH is available in North America from AMETEK Petrolab Company, a unit of AMETEK Process & Analytical Instruments, a division of AMETEK, Inc. (NYSE:AME) a leading global manufacturer of electromechanical devices with annualized sales of more than $2.5 billion.
