The Goldhome Hipot fully automatic open cup flash point tester improves safety protection
In the electrical testing industry, accurately measuring the performance of insulating oil is critical to safeguarding system safety. The fully automatic open cup flash point tester provides a reliable method for determining the flash point of insulating oil, thereby helping to mitigate the potential risks associated with high-voltage equipment. This testing instrument is designed to ensure stable performance, meeting the routine testing requirements of electrical companies and industrial plants.
The fundamental role of flash point testing in industrial safety
The flash point of oil, i.e. the temperature at which it releases enough vapour to ignite in the presence of an ignition source, is an essential safety parameter. In the case of insulating oil in transformers and electrical equipment, a low flash point indicates contamination by flammable substances (e.g. petrol, diesel) or oil degradation, increasing the risk of fire and explosion during operation or maintenance. The traditional flash point test in an open vessel relies on manual temperature adjustment and visual flame detection, leading to inconsistent results, human error and safety risks for operators. Goldhome Hipot's new fully automatic tester solves these challenges and sets a new standard for reliability and safety in flash point analysis.
Key advantages: Automation, accuracy, and safety
Goldhome Hipot's fully automatic open cup flash point tester sets a new industry standard with user-oriented innovations:
Fully automatic operation: From sample insertion to result output, the entire testing process is performed without human intervention. Users only need to pour 50 ml of oil into the test vessel; the tester automatically heats at a standard rate (2 °C/minute for open cups), checks the flame source, and detects the flash point using a high-precision optical sensor, eliminating manual monitoring and human judgment errors.
Accuracy and compliance with laboratory standards: Complies with international standards including GB/T 267, ASTM D92, and ISO 2592, with a temperature measurement range of 40°C–400°C and an error of ≤±2°C. This ensures reliable and traceable test results for regulatory compliance.
Fast test cycles: Each test takes 30-40 minutes (20% faster than traditional manual testers), increasing laboratory productivity and facilitating timely oil quality control decisions.
Enhanced operator safety: Equipped with a closed test chamber with automatic fire extinguishers and overheating protection. Operators are not exposed to flammable vapors or open flames, minimizing workplace hazards.
Easy-to-use design for a variety of applications
Designed to meet industrial demands, this tester offers unparalleled flexibility and ease of use:
Intuitive interface: The 7-inch color touchscreen displays real-time temperature graphs, flash point values, and test status. Stores up to 3,000 historical records and supports data transfer via USB/network, fully integrating with laboratory management systems.
Wide fuel compatibility: Accurately measures the flash point of distillation fuels, lubricating oils, diesel, gasoline, and other petroleum products, making it suitable for energy companies, refineries, and the automotive industry.
Durable and low-maintenance: The test instrument is made of high-temperature resistant stainless steel, and the device's modular design simplifies maintenance. Automatic self-calibrating records ensure long-term stable performance.
