FLASH POINT

TESTER

ACO-7

Model ACO-7 is the latest version of the automated Cleveland Open Cup(COC) flash point tester from
Tanaka. When this seventh generation model was designed after 35 years of delivering the automated
flash point testers to the petroleum industry, ease of operation and maintenance was sought.
While data processing functions such as data storage and statistical analysis can be added to the
automated flash point testers, these functions were excluded from the standard specification, since it
was found that very few users would use these functions and the addition of such extra functions
could make the operation of the regular flash point determination complicated.(*1)
*1: To operate the data storage/statistical functions with ease, more number of keys as well as more information displayed on the

screens are necessary. These features make the set up of a simple flash point test complicated. Should the user require a data

storage function, an optional software is available.

SINGLE ACTION SETTING: The flash detector rings and the temperature sensor are permanently mounted on a
swing-arm assembly, which allows an easy setting of the specimen

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 tester follows the exact procedures prescribed in the test method, and the completion of

the test cycle is signaled by beeps. The test result is brightly shown on the VFD module.

AUTO FIRE POINT DETECTION: In addition to the flash point, fire point can be determined automatically. The fire point is
detected when the double Ionization rings detects 5 sec of continuous burning.

AUTO FIRE CONTAINMENT: ACO-7 is equipped with a fire containment lid which activates automatically to help putting
out fire when ACO-7 detects a fire point or specimen is burning up heavily.

MODULAR DESIGN: The tester consists of a computer control unit and a test head unit, allowing remotely placing the test
head unit 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 ATG-7). The control unit is designed to control any type of the three different flash

point test head unit, but one at a time.
