ASTM TO BOOST FLASHPOINT TESTING SAFETY ASTM D7094 is accepted as an official flashpoint method in the Diesel fuel oil specification (ASTM D975)
Eralytics (
www.eralytics.com) is proud to announce that its internationally renowned flashpoint specialists, Mr. Andreas Schwarzmann and Dr. Roland Aschauer, both longstanding members of the ASTM D02.08 volatility and flammability groups, achieved a breakthrough for ASTM D7094 - the safest and fastest way of flashpoint testing.
The December 2013 ASTM meeting will be remembered as the start of a revolution in flashpoint testing all across the world. Based on the results of international ILS studies ASTM accepted ASTM D7094 as an official method for flashpoint testing in the following fuel specifications*:
ASTM D396 (Fuel oils), D975 (Diesel fuel oils), D2880 (Gas turbine fuel oils) and D3699 (Kerosene) From now on, ASTM D7094 is an official alternative to the 100 years old ASTM D93 Pensky Martens method for flashpoint testing of fuels.
The acceptance of this innovative Continuously Closed Cup Flash Point Method (CCCFP) finally brings 100% safety to fuel testing laboratories worldwide. Instead of igniting the vapors of 70 ml of highly flammable liquids with an open flame, the eralytics CCCFP tester ERAFLASH determines the flashpoint inside a continuously closed cup filled with only 2 ml of sample – all with a significantly faster measuring time and with identical precision to ASTM D93. For D7094 the ASTM Flashpoint Committee officially states that there is no statistically significant bias observed compared to ASTM D93A.

ERASPEC OIL - Portable FTIR Oil Analysis
Lubrication is vital for machinery operation. Early detection of lube oil degradation and engine wear is essential for timely replacement. It helps to avoid unnecessary maintenance while reducing the risk of breakdowns.
ERASPEC OIL from Eralytics (Austria) uses the economic and fast infrared (IR) analysis test method to deliver specific chemical information of the lubricating oil. This ranges from soot and water contamination to oil degradation measured by sulfation, nitration and oxidation indicators. The total acid and total base number (TAN, TBN) are calculated from the spectrum and the depletion of anti-wear additives is monitored. This large amount of information is gained from a single IR spectrum within one minute only. Because of the high reliability of the results this IR analysis is used by laboratories around the world as a routine method.
Field Design for Lab Performance Compact and rugged (8 kg / 17.6 lb in a full aluminum housing), the ERASPEC OIL brings lab quality results to the field. It provides immediate feedback on in-service oil quality even at remote sites, where avoiding equipment breakdown is most critical.
With its patented rugged FTIR spectrometer the ERASPEC OIL is the first truly portable stand-alone analyzer that offers all the advantages of latest FTIR technology for lubricant oil condition monitoring in full compliance with ASTM, DIN and JOAP methods directly on-site.
