The Grabner FPV Pro is an advanced flash point analyzer designed for efficient, safe, and precise measurement of flash points in solids and liquids. The system is based on Grabner’s flash point detection technology and applies an energy-controlled electric arc to determine the instantaneous pressure increase inside a sealed test chamber. Condensation of volatile compounds is prevented by top-down chamber heating, while the system offers high reproducibility and accuracy, even when dealing with complex samples.
The system can effectively analyze using just 1–2 mL of sample. Together with the continuously closed cup design, this ensures maximum safety for the operator by minimizing sample waste and removing fumes. Its intuitive operation and quick thermoelectric cooling minimize labor costs and turnaround time, making the FPV Pro a suitable solution for high-throughput laboratory procedures.

The analyzer meets ASTM D6450 and advanced ASTM D7094 standards and provides exceptional repeatability, while correlating with the Pensky-Martens (ASTM D93) method.
The system is certified to kerosene and diesel fuel specifications and provides results equivalent to TAG and Abel standards. Its robust design also allows for reliable testing of contaminated and biodiesel samples.
With its durable construction, a safe ejecting sample drawer, and portable design, the Grabner FPV Pro is a suitable solution for mobile units, fixed laboratories, and demanding field or military applications.
