34 Flash point testing solutions for renewable fuels and EALs in high-performance lab environments
Anton Paar’s PMA 500, PMA 300, and CLA 5 flash point testers offer safe, reliable, and compliant solutions for testing renewable fuels and environmentally acceptable lubricants (EALs).
Designed for labs where efficiency, consistency, and safety are non- negotiable, the PMA 500 offers fully automated operation to minimise operator interaction, improve reproducibility, and increase sample throughput. With 20% faster cooling times after each measurement, more samples can be processed per shift – a critical advantage when working with high-flash-point materials such as EALs.
Both the PMA 500 and PMA 300 deliver precise, repeatable flash point results in accordance with major standards, including ASTM D93 and EN ISO 2719. The patented electric ignition lasts over 10 times longer than conventional designs, and quick cleaning helps save time when switching between complex renewable formulations.
When open-cup testing is required (e.g., for EALs), the CLA 5 offers reliable, standards-compliant flash and fire point testing according to ASTM D92 and ISO 2592. Built-in safety features like overheat protection and a fire-dampening system provide enhanced protection for both users and equipment.
The instruments are compatible with Anton Paar’s lab execution system, AP Connect, which ensures data is always organised, secure, and accessible. Results are transferred automatically to LIMS, network folders, or cloud systems, and can be viewed from any connected workstation – supporting
centralised data access for fuel certification, EAL monitoring, and other quality workflows.
With intelligent safety features, durable components, and seamless digital integration, Anton Paar’s flash point testers are built to make your lab more productive, your testing more reliable, and your data fully traceable – so you can confidently meet the demands of renewable fuels and sustainable lubricants, today and tomorrow.

One-step viscosity and density testing for green solvents
As green solvents gain ground in coatings, pharmaceuticals, cleaning agents, and chemical production, laboratories require efficient solutions for qualifying them, especially key parameters such as viscosity and density.
Viscosity determines flow properties, mixing behaviour, and application performance, while density is critical for formulation accuracy, process control, and inventory management.
Anton Paar’s SVM viscometers measure both values in one step – saving time, minimising waste, and increasing efficiency.
Dynamic viscosity and density are measured simultaneously, with kinematic viscosity calculated directly. Using only 1.5 mL of sample, the robust metal measuring cells of the SVM accommodate a wide range of green solvents, including alcohols, esters, glycols, and bio-based blends. Measurements are fully compliant with ASTM D7042 for viscosity and ASTM D4052 for density (in applicable models).
Test temperatures are freely selectable from -60°C to +135°C, enabling viscosity-temperature profiles to be generated in a single run – with no hardware changes, no capillary switching, and no operator adjustment between steps.
The SVM series is built for efficiency. Measurement and cleaning typically take less than five minutes per sample, with integrated prewetting and temperature stability routines to ensure repeatability and data consistency.
For high-throughput environments, optional sample changers can automate measurement for up to 71 samples with fully programmable cleaning and drying cycles. All data can be exported or integrated into LIMS environments for complete traceability.
Whether for product development, incoming goods control, or formulation optimisation, the SVM series provides all essential fluid property data in one step. For laboratories working with modern solvent systems, it offers a reliable and efficient solution for everyday operation.
