The Rapid Tester is a semiautomatic
instrument for determining the flash point temperature /
combustibility of flammable liquids. The Rapid Tester Closed
cup tests temperatures from ambient to 572?F (300?C) which
are automatically controlled by the set-a-temp adjustable
digitally preset target temperature circuitry. On the Rapid
Tester, Integral digital LCD display, NIST traceable
thermometer, disposable fuel tank and electronic timer are
standard.

Digital Accuracy
Achieve
the high level of digital performance offered only by the
Rapid Tester?. The Rapid Tester high contrast LCD display
has 1/2" characters for ease of reading and is switch
selectable between degrees Fahrenheit and Centigrade. A
thermometer traceable to the National Institute of Standards
& Technology is also included with the Rapid Tester.
Unique set-a-temp circuitry permits simple adjustment and
precise automatic regulation of test temperatures. Depress
the Preset switch while turning the Temperature Control knob
until the target temperature is displayed. Release the
switch and set -a-temp takes over! Test cup temperature is
automatically shown on the digital Rapid Tester LCD display.
Fast Test-Small Sample
Test time is
only one minute with a 2 ml sample for flash points below
212?F (100?C). You can run ten tests with the Rapid Tester?
in the time that it takes to perform just one by other
methods. The 2 ml/4 ml sample is a fraction of the large
sample required by other flash point methods. This reduces
sampling and disposal problems while improving safety.
Two Models
The Rapid Tester? Closed
Cup Model RT-01 has a testing range from -22? to 572?F (-30?
to 300?C). with a dual thermometer of 32/562F and 0/300C.
Another thermometer can be purchased for testing ranges
below 32F and it has a range of -36/105F. Open Cup Model RT
-02 tests for flash point levels from ambient to 212?F
(100?C).
