Product Description
The K77001 Automatic Cloud Point Analyzer is a state of the art piece of equipment for measuring cloud point by Optical Detection. The Cloud Point is an index of the lowest temperature of a petroleum product or a biodiesel fuels utility for certain applications. Wax crystals of sufficient quantity can plug filters used in some fuel systems.
Includes:
~ Wireless Cloud Point Head
~ Cloud Point Test Vessel
ASTM D5771 - For the description of the determination of the cloud point of petroleum products and biodiesel fuels that are transparent in layers 40 mm in thickness, by an automatic instrument using an optical device. This test method covers the range of temperatures from -60 C to +49 C with temperature resolution of 0.1 C.
After insertion of the prescribed test jar containing the specimen into the apparatus, and the initiation of the program, the specimen is cooled incrementally according to the cooling profile listed in Table 1 of the method. The specimen is continuously monitored by a reflective optical system for the formation of a crystalline structure. When the crystallization of the wax in the specimen is detected by the optical system, the temperature is recorded to within 0.1 C resolution. The specimen is then heated to facilitate the start of the next test.
