Flash Point Tester aco-8as Asphalt COC

ACO-8AS Automated Cleveland Open Cup (COC) Flash and Fire Point Tester

Overview:
The ACO-8AS is a cutting-edge Cleveland Open Cup (COC) flash and fire point tester, engineered specifically for evaluating bituminous materials. It incorporates an automated metallic lid that activates to cover the test cup if a sustained flame is detected, enhancing safety during testing. This model features a user-friendly, high-visibility color display and an intuitive design with easy-to-use controls. It offers advanced functionality through a USB port for connecting flash memory or a keyboard, includes password protection, and provides reliable data storage. Compact and lightweight, the ACO-8AS is elegantly designed and adheres to standards such as ASTM D92, ISO 2592, and IP 36.

Flash Point Tester aco-8as Asphalt COC Features and Benefits:

• Single Action Setting:
  The flash detector rings and temperature sensor are permanently mounted on a swing-arm assembly, allowing for easy sample cup setup.
• Easy Operation:
  Simply select a test mode and enter the expected flash point. The instrument automates the test, freeing you to focus on other tasks. It strictly follows the procedures prescribed in the test method, signaling the test’s completion with audible beeps, and displaying the results on a vibrant color LCD module.
• Auto Fire Point Detection:
  In addition to flash point testing, the device also detects the fire point, identifying it when the detection rings sense fire for five seconds.
• Auto Fire Containment:
  The fire containment lid automatically activates to extinguish fires if a fire point is detected or if the specimen is burning intensely.
• Data Handling:
  The unit can store up to 200 test results and export data to an optional printer or to a Laboratory Information Management System (LIMS) via an RS-232 port or USB memory.
• USB Port:
  The USB port allows the connection of a USB keyboard for easy input of sample and operator IDs. It also supports USB flash memory for data export, as well as saving, copying, or uploading test parameters.
• Surface Skin Skimmer:
  A unique skimmer feature automatically removes the surface skin that forms on the sample during testing of bitumen or similar materials. This improves both the precision and safety of the COC flash point testing process.
