Introducing the New Seta PM-93 Pensky-Martens Flash Point Tester 35000-2
Automated Pensky-Martens Flash Point Tester to ASTM D93
Stanhope-Seta is pleased to introduce the Seta PM-93 35000-2, a next-generation Pensky-Martens flash point tester designed for fast, accurate and fully compliant flash point determination.
Engineered for modern laboratories, the PM-93 is a fully automated closed cup flash point tester supporting all major international standards, including ASTM D93, ASTM D8175, IP 34 and ISO 2719 (Procedures A, B and C). The instrument delivers reliable, repeatable results up to 410 °C, making it suitable for a wide range of petroleum, fuel and industrial applications.
Faster ASTM D93 testing with Seta Turbo Cool
The PM-93 introduces Seta Turbo Cool technology, enabling rapid cooling between tests and significantly improving laboratory throughput.
For laboratories performing ASTM D93 flash point testing, faster turnaround times mean more samples processed per day without compromising accuracy or compliance. Combined with fast heating, this ensures efficient Pensky-Martens flash point determination in high-throughput environments.
Advanced safety for flash point testing
Safety is essential when using a closed cup flash point tester. The PM-93 incorporates multiple safety systems to protect both operator and instrument:
- Optical fire detection with automatic fire extinguisher activation
- Continuous monitoring of the inert gas supply
- Automatic cup lock detection to ensure correct positioning before testing
- Over-temperature protection and emergency stop functionality
These features ensure safe operation and compliance with ISO 2719 Annex B, providing confidence when testing volatile samples.
Automated Pensky-Martens operation
The PM-93 simplifies Pensky-Martens flash point testing through a fully automated workflow:
- Motorised head for raising and lowering the test lid
- “Press and Go” automated test sequence
- Large colour touchscreen with intuitive interface
- Real-time display of test progress and results
This reduces operator influence and ensures consistent, repeatable results across all ASTM D93 and ISO 2719 test procedures.
Precision, accuracy and ASTM D93 compliance
As a high-performance flash point tester, the PM-93 is designed to deliver precise and compliant results:
- Fully automated flash point determination
- High accuracy Class A Platinum Resistance Thermometer (IEC 60751)
- External traceable calibration capability (e.g. UKAS ISO 17025)
- Automatic barometric pressure correction
- Built-in Statistical Quality Control (SQC) software to ASTM D6299
These features support laboratories working to ISO 17025 accreditation requirements.
High throughput flash point testing
The PM-93 is optimised for efficiency in busy laboratories:
- Seta Turbo Cool rapid cooling system for faster test cycles
- Quick-release stirrer, lid and shutter for easy cleaning between samples
- Customisable test profiles to reduce repeated data entry
This combination enables faster flash point testing while maintaining accuracy and repeatability.
Energy-efficient flash point tester
The PM-93 is the most energy-efficient Pensky-Martens flash point tester in its class, reducing energy consumption by up to 40% compared with similar ASTM D93 instruments.
This results in:
- Lower operating costs
- Reduced laboratory energy usage
- Decreased CO₂ emissions
Supporting ASTM D93-25 and laboratory compliance
The latest revision of ASTM D93 (ASTM D93-25) requires verification of apparatus performance using Certified Reference Materials (CRMs).
Stanhope-Seta provides a range of Certified Reference Materials for ASTM D93 flash point testing, supporting compliance and ensuring reliable instrument performance.
For aviation fuel testing, the Seta Jet A-1 Proficiency Test Scheme supports ongoing performance monitoring and ISO 17025 accreditation.
A new standard in Pensky-Martens flash point testing
With its combination of automation, advanced safety, high throughput and energy efficiency, the Seta PM-93 35000-2 flash point tester sets a new benchmark for Pensky-Martens ASTM D93 testing.
