Key Features
ASTM
CompliantFully compliant with ASTM D396, D975, D2880, and D3699, providing both standard method and refined methodology
Multilingual AccessibilityMultilingual Accessibility: Operation and output capabilities in the following languages: English, Spanish, Portuguese, Russian, Chinese (coming soon), French (coming soon)
Straightforward OperationStraightforward Operation: All eralytics analyzers use an intuitive menu structure that is easy to navigate. Samples need no prior preparation and measurements are done fully automated
Touch
ScreenTouch Screen: All eralytics analyzer results are displayed immediately after the test on their large and user-friendly color touch screen
Small
FootprintSmall Footprint: The small footprint of the eralytics instruments makes them the first choice for use in the lab and on-site
Fully
PortableFully Portable: The eralytics units are all lightweight and built with an integrated carrying handle, they are versatile and ideally suited for mobile applications as well
Enhanced Output EfficiencyEnhanced Output Efficiency: A direct out-of-the-box connection to LIMS (Laboratory Information Management System) is established with a standard Ethernet cable. No extra software or PC are necessary
Easy
CleanEasy Clean: Cleaning after measurements often took time and involved maintenance activities or replacing sensors or other elements of the chamber assembly. Innovative CPT – Contamination Prevention Technology TM, a combination of an advanced electrode protection and self-cleaning ignition system, reduces cleaning and maintenance to an absolute minimum
QuickQuick: Innovative PBT – Peltier Boost Technology TM, a patented eralytics innovation, allows for previously unmatched heating and cooling rates. Paired with a conveniently small sample size, these analyzers allow turnaround times that are significantly shorter than those offered by all other instruments available on the market

Introducing the ERAFLASH X: compact ultra-wide range flash point tester with a robust design
The ERAFLASH X is a compact, safe, and robust flash point tester covering an incredibly wide temperature range, designed to operate in field and lab environments. With a continuously closed cup design and three patented designs of Peltier Boost Technology (PBT), Contamination Prevention Technology (CPT), and Peltier separation, the ERAFLASH X ensures maximized safety and efficiency.
Robust by design
Three patented systems.
One compact analyzer.
- PBT
Peltier Boost Technology
High-speed heating and cooling across the full measuring range.
- CPT
Contamination Prevention Technology
Advanced electrode protection and a self-cleaning ignition system that minimize cleaning and maintenance.
- PS
Peltier separation
Separated Peltier stages for stable thermoregulation in a smaller housing.
The ERAFLASH X analyzer can cover a temperature range from 18 °C to 370 °C (64 °F to 689 °F) with only 1–2 mL of sample per test, without a High Temperature Module (HTM) or any external device. To complete a test, the device produces an electric arc in a closed chamber to determine at which temperature the arc ignites the sample vapor, which is measured by the pressure change observed in ignition. Another feature of the ERAFLASH X is the built-in unknown sample screen test, which can quickly cover a wide range of temperatures to hone in on the specific flash point of unidentifiable samples or samples with unknown flash points.
Compliance / Correlation
Portable enough for field.
Precise enough for lab.
ASTM D6450 · ASTM D7094
This device is fully compliant with ASTM D6450 and D7094 with a diverse array of correlation methods, making it the ideal solution for almost any flash point determination in both laboratory and on-the-go environments.
- 01
Temperature Range
