The Elcometer 6910 Setaflash 'Series 8' Active-Cool Closed Cup Tester (part number K6910M021) is a closed cup flash point tester with a temperature range of -30 degrees C to 135 degrees C that requires no external cooling. Flash point determines the lowest temperature at which a liquid gives off enough vapour to ignite, which sets how a substance is classified, transported and stored, so accurate flash point testing is central to chemical safety and regulatory compliance.
The Elcometer 6910 Setaflash uses Peltier cell technology for both heating and cooling, giving precise temperature control and rapid cool down after a test. It tests a small sample of 2 ml or 4 ml depending on the method and offers Flash/No Flash and Ramp modes, along with an electric ignitor. In Rapid Equilibrium mode a test takes 1 minute below 100 degrees C and 2 minutes above, while Ramp mode typically takes 7 minutes; cool down from 80 degrees C to 20 degrees C takes 4 minutes. The aluminium cup unit of the Elcometer 6910 Setaflash measures 300 x 340 x 380 mm and weighs 8 kg, with 1 GB of internal memory and an integrated USB port for results. A calibration certificate is supplied as standard.
The Elcometer 6910 Setaflash can be used in accordance with ASTM D3278, D3828, D7236 and E502, BS 2000-523, EU CLP Regulations EC No 1272/2008, EPA 1020 A and B, ISO 3679 and 3680, and UN Class 3 Non-viscous Flammable Liquids. Supplied by BAMR, South Africa's authorised Elcometer distributor.

How long does a typical test take?
Test duration depends on the mode and temperature range. Rapid Equilibrium mode takes 1 minute below 100°C or 2 minutes above 100°C. Ramp mode typically takes 7 minutes. Your test method will specify which to use.
How quickly can I run consecutive tests?
The tester cools from 80°C to 20°C in 4 minutes, enabling reasonably fast turnaround between tests. This timeframe supports good throughput in busy QC environments.
What sample size do I need for each test?
Sample volume is either 2ml or 4ml, depending on your test method. Your relevant standard or internal procedure will specify the correct volume for your application.
