SOME OF OUR PRODUCTS
Jet Fuel Thermal Oxidation Deposit Rater - DR 10 (ASTM D3241, IP 597)
The DR 10 accurately determines the thickness of the deposit, reducing test subjectivity.
The DR10 test report provides a 3-D profile of the deposit distribution on the tube surface. The software automatically detects and reports the Standard Spot value which is the mean deposit thickness of the thickest 2.5 mm2 area as defined in ASTM D3241. The average and the maximum thickness deposit values, as well as the calculated total deposit volume are reported.
Automated Smoke Point – SP 10 (ASTM D1322, IP 598)
This unique automated instrument uses a patented system (License TOTAL RM) based on a video camera that measures the flame. The flame image is digitalized. The dedicated software determines the height of the flame when its shape corresponds to the one described in the test method. The SP10 is an Automated Smoke Point instrument that strictly follows the test method while both eliminating the subjectivity inherent to the manual test and significantly improving repeatability and reproducibility. Additionally, the SP10 eliminates all safety risks linked to the visual observation of an open flame. The test can now be run unattended which drastically reduces labor costs.
NACE Spindle Corrosion Test – CT 10 (NACE TM0172)
The innovative CT10 instrument images the whole surface of the specimen. Operation is based on a homogeneous lighting source, CCD camera, specimen rotation system, and specially designed Windows CE® application software. The specimen is rotated and several images are taken. The software builds a flat image of the specimen surface, calculates the percentage of the corroded area and then translates it into a NACE rating. A detailed test report is ready in less than 5 minutes. The test can now be run unattended which reduces labor costs.
