Dispositif très utilisé, du type à vase clos, pour déterminer le point d'inflammabilité des pétroles.

CONT

La présente norme européenne [EN 57 : «Produits pétroliers - Détermination du point d'éclair - Vase clos Abel-Pensky»] décrit une méthode de détermination du point d'éclair des produits pétroliers et autres liquides [...] au moyen de l'appareil Abel-Pensky.

OBS

vase clos Abel-Pensky : ce terme est incorrect pour désigner l'appareil lui-même; ce qu'on appelle «vase» (ou «creuset») ne se rapporte qu'à une partie constituante de l'appareil.
