FAQs of Cleaveland Flash Point and Fire Point Apparatus:

Q: How does the Cleaveland Flash Point and Fire Point Apparatus determine the flash and fire points of petroleum products?

A: The apparatus heats a petroleum sample in a brass test cup using a concealed electrical heater. As the temperature rises, a gas flame is periodically applied to the samples surface. The flash point is the lowest temperature at which vapors ignite momentarily, while the fire point is when sustained burning occurs. Observations are made manually using the analog thermometer.

Q: What materials are used in the construction of this apparatus, and why are they important?

A: The apparatus features a mild steel housing with heat-resistant insulation, a corrosion-resistant powder coated finish, a heavy-gauge brass test cup for durability, and a cast iron air bath for even heat distribution. These high-quality materials enhance safety, longevity, and reliability.

Q: When should I use the Cleaveland Apparatus, and for what applications is it best suited?

A: This apparatus is ideal for laboratory testing, exporter quality checks, and manufacturer compliance when determining the flash and fire points of petroleum products as per standard protocols. It is suitable whenever accurate measurement of petroleum volatility and combustion properties is required.

Q: Where can the apparatus be installed and used most effectively?

A: The apparatus is designed for bench-top installation in laboratories, research centers, and quality control facilities. Its compact dimensions and manual operation make it suitable for standard laboratory environments with ambient humidity up to 80% RH.

Q: What is the process for conducting a test using this apparatus?

A: Fill the brass test cup with a 75 ml sample, set up the concealed electrical heater, and regulate temperature using the energy regulator. Stir the sample manually while observing the thermometer. At intervals, introduce the test flame via the burner port to detect flash and fire points.

Q: How does manual operation benefit the user during testing?

A: Manual operation grants the user direct control over stirring, heat application, and timing, ensuring precision and adaptability to specific testing needs. Immediate observation of results allows for quick decision-making and enhances process reliability.

Q: What are the main advantages of using this apparatus for flash and fire point determination?

A: Key benefits include precise temperature control (accuracy 1C), durable construction, easy specimen handling, adaptability to different fuels (natural gas or LPG), and compliance with laboratory testing standards, ensuring dependable and repeatable results in petroleum analysis.
