The patented Rapid Small Scale Oxidation Test (RSSOT) provides a complete oxidation stability analysis of petroleum products automatically in a very short test time. PetroOxy is suitable for the stability determination of liquid fuels (gasoline, diesel, biodiesel, FAME and blends).

 

The automatic Pensky-Martens closed cup tester measures the flash point at the lowest temperature at which the application of an ignition source causes the vapors of a sample to ignite. PMA 5 is suitable for volatility applications of both biodiesel and biodiesel-blended fuels along with distillate fuels like diesel, heating oil and kerosene. It is commonly used for potentially flammable liquids such as lubricating oils and edible oils, too.

 

The semi-automatic RCRT with its gas-free furnace indicates coke-forming properties by determining the amount of carbon residue left after evaporation and pyrolysis of an oil sample. It is applicable to relatively non-volatile petroleum products, which partially decompose on distillation at atmospheric pressure, like diesel fuel, motor oil, gas or crude oil.

 

The SCO 1 salinometer uses the conductivity method to measure the approximate chloride (salt) concentration in crude oil. This measurement is based on the conductivity of a solution of crude oil in polar solvent when subjected to an alternating current. Knowledge of the chloride concentration - in g/m3 - gives information on the efficiency of the process desalter and provides a solid basis for assessing the need for crude oil desalting. ...
