Introduction Flash and Fire Point Apparatus

Petroleum laboratories across Bangladesh depend on a reliable Flash and Fire Point Apparatus to determine the exact temperature at which fuels and lubricants ignite. This apparatus follows the Cleveland Open Cup method and measures both flash point and fire point in a single test cycle. Refineries use this equipment to verify product safety before distribution, and quality control teams rely on it for consistent, repeatable results.
