AD-6 Automated Distillation Tester

The AD-6 Distillation Tester automatically performs distillation test of petroleum products as well as narrow boiling range samples. This eco-friendly tester uses a Peltier system which does cooling/heating of the condenser as well as cooling of the cylinder compartment. All necessary electronics and mechanics are contained in one casing. Test standards ISO 3405, ASTM D 86, D 850.

  • Fully Self-Contained
  • Cooled by Peltier Technology-CFC Free!


Automatic Measurment
The test parameter for each sample type is programmed prior to tests. Typical sets of test parameters are programmed prior to tests and recalled before each test run. After setting the sample, just press the START key; the distillation proceeds automatically. The vapor temperature and the actual distillation curve are displayed on a real time basis. Finally, if an optional built in printer is used, the test results are printed out, and if a PC is connected, the test results are transmitted to the PC or LIMS.

Fully Self-Contained Design
All the necessary electronics and mechanics are contained in one casing for ease of use and higher reliability. Smallest footprint (as of 2002) fits on a lab bench easily.

Advanced Fire Containment System
Mechanical shutter with N2 gas injection (standard) or CO2 injection system (optional) helps in controlling the fire, should the sample catch fire.



Specifications

Conforming Standards:
ISO 3405, ASTM D86, IP123 for distillation test of petroleum products. (groups 0,1,2,3,4)
ASTM D850 for distillation test of industrial aromatic hydrocarbons (with optional accessories)
ASTM D1078 for distillation test of volatile organic liquids (with optional accessories)

Temperature Range:
Selectable from RT to 300oC/400oC (fuel oil) or
RT to 200oC/400oC (ASTM D850, D1078)

Temperature Measurement:
Pt 100 Probe

Meniscus Detection:
By photoelectric devices with pulse motor

Distillation Rate:
Selectable from 2.0 to 9.0ml/min with 0.5 increment

Display:
Monochrome LCD (120mm x 90mm) Distillation curve and other test parameters, status, and trouble message displayed
