The Series 8 'ActiveCool' Setaflash is an automated closed cup flash point tester with a temperature range of 0°C to 130°C (32 to 266°F) with no external cooling. When connected to a suitable water supply, the range is extended down to -20°C (-4°F).

There are two modes of operation; Flash/No Flash and Ramp. The Setaflash ramp mode (ASTM D7236) increases the sample temperature at a rate of 2°C/min automatically and dips the ignitor every 1°C up to 100°C (every 2°C above 100°C), until either a flash is detected or the end of test temperature is reached.

Peltier cell technology is used in the Series 8 Setaflash for heating and cooling ensuring precise temperature control and rapid cool down after a test is completed. The ignitor uses an electrical hot wire (a gas flame option is available). The colour LCD shows test parameters and the test result. The text and colour of the top line indicates instrument status. All functions are accessed via menus, navigated by the keypad. 64 test results can be stored in the memory, each tagged with a sample reference and operator name. Results can be downloaded to a PC or printer via the RS232C port (USB or LAN port options available).
