ATG-7 Tag Closed Cup Flash Point Tester

The ATG-7 automates the Tag Closed Cup (TCC) flash point test. Ease of operation has been improved by employing an arm assembly that allows easy one-handed setup. The flash detector, a low-mass thermocouple, is reliable and easy to maintain. An acrylic windshield serves as protection from drafts. The bath liquid is automatically exchanged after a test, providing quick cooling.


Single Action Setting: The cup cover assembly is mounted on a swing-arm assembly. This allows for easy handling of the test cup cover. It eliminates handling of the hot cup cover after completing a test.

Easy Operation: Select a test mode and enter the expected flash point. While the instrument executes the test, you are free to do other lab work. The instrument follows the exact procedures prescribed in the test method, and the completion of the test is signaled by beeps. The test result is brightly shown on the VFD module.

Interchangeable Ignition Source: ATG-7 is equipped with both a gas and electric igniter as the ignition source. It takes only a few minutes to switch from gas to electric or vice versa.

Draft Protection Shield Cover: A tinted acrylic cover not only insures the flame integrity but reduces the glare from the electric igniter.

Modular Design: The tester consists of a computer control unit and a test head unit, allowing the test head unit to be located up to 3 meters away. An optional Changeover unit can be purchased to attach the control unit to another type of flash point test head unit (APM-7 or ACO-7). The control unit is designed to control any of the three different flash point test head units, one at a time.
