Determination of gum content in fuels
The
gum content is the residue of aircraft fuels, motor gasoline, and other
volatile distillates which cannot be evaporated under a flow of air or
steam. Like all other Anton Paar solutions for measuring various
petroleum properties, Anton Paar’s gum tester is designed for maximum
safety. The system’s unique multifunctional head reduces the risk of
burn injuries. The gum tester works according to ASTM D381, ISO 6246, EN
6246, JIS K 2261, DIN 51784, FTM 791-3302, IP 131, IP 540.
Convenient and time-saving operation
The
gum tester has a unique multifunctional head which is specially
designed for the safe and simultaneous positioning of all jet tubes.
This saves about ten minutes of time for each measurement. All conical
jets can be lifted and lowered by one single turn. The simultaneous
positioning of the conical jets not only enables a fast start of the
measurement but also offers a guided positioning to prevent incorrect
assembling.
Highest level of safety to protect the user
In
contrast to other potentially dangerous setups, Anton Paar’s gum tester
provides the highest level of safety. Due to the design of the unique
multifunctional head it is not necessary to assemble the preheated
instrument or manually handle any hot parts. Different safety features
help protect the user.
Analysis of the foam characteristics of oils
With
Anton Paar’s foam tester you can measure the foaming tendency and the
foam stability of lubricating oils for high-speed gearing and
high-volume pumping systems at specific temperatures. Its twin-bath
arrangement with various accessories also allows high-temperature tests
according to ASTM D6082 sequence IV and the methods ASTM D892, ISO 6247,
JIS K 2518, and IP 146.
Measurement of emulsion stability
The
Anton Paar emulsifier DH 5 measures the ability of petroleum oils or
synthetic fluids to separate from water in water-oil emulsions. The
Herschel emulsifier is equipped with all the components you require for
complete compliance with the standard methods ASTM D1401, ISO 6614.
