Abstract
A device for igniting a sample arranged in a container for a flashpoint determination test and/or a combustion point determination test. The device has an electric igniter, which has an ignition tip having a partially or completely encapsulated electric wire; and a traversing device, which is configured for traversing the ignition tip of the electric igniter to a defined position within the container.
Claims20
A device for igniting a sample arranged in a container in a flashpoint determination test system and/or a combustion point determination test system, the device comprising:
- an electric igniter, which has an ignition tip having a partially or completely encapsulated electric wire;
- and
- a traversing device, which is configured for traversing the ignition tip of the electric igniter from above the container to a defined position within the container.
A system for a flashpoint determination and also for a combustion point determination, the system comprising:
- a container for receiving a sample to be investigated;
- a lid for closing the container, wherein the lid has a closable lid opening;
- a temperature-control device for heating the sample with a defined heating rate and/or to a defined temperature;
- and
- a device for igniting the sample arranged in the container, the device comprising an electric igniter with an ignition tip having a completely encapsulated electric wire and a traversing device, which is configured for traversing the ignition tip of the electric igniter from above the container to a defined position within the container;
- wherein in the case of a lid being present the device for igniting is arranged such that, upon a traversing of the ignition tip of the electric igniter to the defined position within the container, the ignition tip is guided through the lid opening.
A method for igniting of a sample arranged in a container in a flashpoint determination test system and/or a combustion point determination test system, the method comprising:
- traversing an ignition tip of an electric igniter, or a gas outlet opening of a gas supply line coupled to the electric igniter, from above the container to a defined position within the container,
- wherein the electric igniter has an ignition tip having a completely encapsulated electric wire;
- and
- igniting the sample in the container.
