Key Features

features__astm compliantERAFLASH Flashpoint Tester is fully compliant with ASTM D396, D975, D2880, D3699, providing both standard method and refined methodology.
features__simple operatonAll eralytics analyzers use an intuitive menu structure that is easy to navigate. Samples need no prior preparation and measurements are done fully automated.
A direct out-of-the-box connection to LIMS (Laboratory Information Management System) is established with a standard Ethernet cable.No extra software or PC are necessary.
features__footprintThe small footprint of the eralytics instruments makes them the first choice for use in the lab and on-site.
features__portableThe Eralytics units are all lightweight and built with an integrated carrying handle, they are versatile and ideally suited for mobile applications as well.
features__touch screenAll Eralytics analyzer results are displayed immediately after the test on their large and user-friendly color touch screen.
features__easy cleanCleaning after measurements often took time and involved maintenance activities or replacing sensors or other elements of the chamber assembly. The ERAFLASH is different. Its innovative CPT-Contamination Prevention Technology TM, a combination of an advanced electrode protection and self-cleaning ignition system, reduces cleaning & maintenance to an absolute minimum.
The ERAFLASH’s innovative PBT – Peltier Boost Technology TM, a patented eralytics innovation, allows for previously unmatched heating and cooling rates. Paired with the conveniently small size of the sample cup this analyzer allows turnaround times that are significantly shorter than those offered by all other instruments available on the market.

Introducing the ERAFLASH X: compact ultra-wide range flash point tester with a robust design

The ERAFLASH X is a compact, safe, and robust flash point tester covering an incredibly wide temperature range, designed to operate in field and lab environments. With a continuously closed cup design and three patented designs of Peltier Boost Technology (PBT), Contamination Prevention Technology (CPT), and Peltier separation, the ERAFLASH X ensures maximized safety and efficiency.

Robust by design

Three patented systems.
One compact analyzer.

  1. PBT

    Peltier Boost Technology

    High-speed heating and cooling across the full measuring range.

  2. CPT

    Contamination Prevention Technology

    Advanced electrode protection and a self-cleaning ignition system that minimize cleaning and maintenance.

  3. PS

    Peltier separation

    Separated Peltier stages for stable thermoregulation in a smaller housing.

The ERAFLASH X analyzer can cover a temperature range from 18 °C to 370 °C (64 °F to 689 °F) with only 1–2 mL of sample per test, without a High Temperature Module (HTM) or any external device. To complete a test, the device produces an electric arc in a closed chamber to determine at which temperature the arc ignites the sample vapor, which is measured by the pressure change observed in ignition. Another feature of the ERAFLASH X is the built-in unknown sample screen test, which can quickly cover a wide range of temperatures to hone in on the specific flash point of unidentifiable samples or samples with unknown flash points.


Compliance / Correlation

Portable enough for field.
Precise enough for lab.

ASTM D6450 · ASTM D7094

This device is fully compliant with ASTM D6450 and D7094 with a diverse array of correlation methods, making it the ideal solution for almost any flash point determination in both laboratory and on-the-go environments.

  1. 01

    Temperature Range

    18 °C to 370 °C (64 °F to 689 °F), with no High Temperature Module or external cooling required.

  2. 02

    Flash Point + Flash/No Flash

    Flash point corrected to sea level is displayed in units of temperature. In correlation tests: Flash versus No Flash determinations.

  3. 03

    Pressure Change + Temperature

    Largest pressure difference during the flash test. Live, expected, and corrected temperatures.

Applications of the ERAFLASH X

  • Safety characteristic determination
  • Transportation regulations compliance
  • Appropriate storage requirements
  • Aids in fire protection and investigation
