ERAFLASH X: The Newest Addition to Eralytics Flash Point Testing Product Line
Where does ERAFLASH X (EFX10) sit amongst the other ERAFLASH devices? Here are its features, applications, cost comparison, advantages, and competitors.
Apparatus Overview
The ERAFLASH X is positioned as an economical flash point tester focused on an extended temperature range in which the majority of distillates flash without the nonessential add-on modules found in other models for applications primarily in fuel and lubricant sampling within the petroleum industry.
Key Features:
- Methods: ASTM D7094, IP 620, and fast screening method “SCAN” are used in the ERAFLASH X, making it compliant with standard testing methods in the industry.
- Temperature Range: The ERAFLASH X has a temperature range of 18°C – 370°C (64°F – 698°F), which is suitable for a broad range of fuel and lubricant samples focusing on the common mid-level distillates seen in the petroleum industry.
- Display: 5.7″ color touchscreen, which is user-friendly but smaller compared to other models like the EF10, EFS10, and EF20.
- Dimensions: Compact design with dimensions of 19.6 x 20.4 x 31.7cm.
- Weight: Lightweight at 7.2 kg(15.9 lb), making it portable and easy to handle.
Advantages of ERAFLASH X:
- Most Cost-Effective: Priced below the other models even without add-ons, it is the most affordable option amongst the ERAFLASH units, making it a cost-effective choice for organizations with budget constraints.
- Extended Temperature Range: With a default temperature range of 18°C – 370°C (64°F – 698°F), it covers the widest range of temperatures between all of the ERAFLASH units without add-ons.
- Unnecessary Additions: Designed to eliminate expensive add-on requirements seen in other ERAFLASH models like low and high-temperature modules (HTM), the ERAFLASH X has all of its functionality built into the model itself.
- Considerably Compact: The ERAFLASH X takes its compact size and lightweight design even further than the other, already small, ERAFLASH models, enhancing the portability and ease of use, especially in labs with limited space.
- Retained Essential Features: Even with its enhancements, the ERAFLASH X does not sacrifice key features seen in the other ERAFLASH units such as the standards ASTM D7094 and IP 620, QuickCal™ in situ calibration, and Peltier Boost Technology™ unrivaled thermoregulation, which are all critical determinants for accurate and reliable flash point testing for a broad range of fuel and lubricant samples.
Summary of ERAFLASH X:
The ERAFLASH X is an economical and efficient choice for organizations focusing on fuel and lubricant samples in the petroleum industry. It has the most extensive default temperature range without the need for expensive add-on modules. The unit is also smaller and more compact than any of the other ERAFLASH units, enhancing its portability and minimizing its footprint even more. Even with these augmented features, it is the cheapest unit available in the ERAFLASH line of equipment. The ERAFLASH X is cheaper, more compact, covers a wider temperature range, and retains all of the essential features that make ERAFLASH models unique in the first place.
