Dark/Opaque Samples: The use of a special infrared detector gives the instrument its ability to see through dark/opaque samples such as residual fuels with up to 8.0 on the ASTM Color Scale.
User-Friendly Measuring Cell: The measuring cell can be easily removed and placed on an analytical balance for weighing viscous samples that are solid at ambient temperature. Water jacketed measuring cells are also available as an option for sub-ambient temperature.
Easy Operation: Just sample the specimen and aniline, enter the expected aniline point，and press the START key; all the rest of the test procedures such as heating, cooling and aniline point detection are performed automatically. The operator has the option to report the result after either a single determination or multiple determinations.
Easier and Safer Aniline Handling: For years, handling of toxic aniline has been considered a hazardous operation. A bottle top dispenser can be connected to the measuring cell for directly delivering aniline without a manual pipetting operation. Upon completing a test, discharge the aniline mixture from the bottom of the measuring cell, pour in a cleaning agent, turn on the stirrer, and discharge the cleaning agent. The measuring cell can be cleaned without disassembling it, which makes the cleaning easier and safer.
Compact Design: Like the popular Tanaka flash point testers, the AAP-5 consists of a test head unit and a separate control unit. The test head unit is small enough to be remotely operated inside of a fume hood.
