Laboratory Apparatus

Description

• Method A: As per IP 12 & IS 1448 (P-3), ASTM D 611 method a complete with jacket. Aniline point is used to
• characterize pure hydrocarbons and to indicate the aromatic content of hydrocarbon mixtures. Equal volumes of
• aniline and sample or sample plus n heptane are stirred together while being heated at a controlled rate. r the
• two phases become miscible, the mixture is cooled at a controlled rate and the temperature at which the two phases
• separate is the aniline point or mixed aniline point of the sample.
• Method B: The aniline point method B is a thin-film procedure used to determine the aniline point of hydrocarbon
• solvents and petroleum products that are too dark to test using method A of ASTM D611. The method involves:
•  Mixing equal parts of aniline and the sample or sample plus n-heptane in a test tube.
•  Heatng the mixture at a controlled rate while strring,
•  Cooling the mixture at a controlled rate, Recording the temperature at which the two phases separate as the aniline point.             

Description

• As per IP 13 & ATSM D 189 IS – 1448 (P-122) This test method determines rela􀆟ve coke forming property of
• petroleum oils. The test method also covers the determination of the amount of carbon residue evaporation
• and pyrolysis of an oil, and is intended to provide some indication of relative coke-forming propensity. Complete
• (Single test Apparatus) with Porcelain crucible.

Description

• As per IP -15 & 219 & ASTM D 2500, IS 1448 (P- 10) (without thermometer). This test method determines the lowest
• temperature of a liquid specimen when the smallest observable cluster of wax crystals first appears upon cooling
• under prescribed conditions (cloud point) and to determine the lowest temperature at which movement of the oil
• observed (Pour Point)

Description

Cold Filter Plugging Point (CFPP) is the lowest temperature at which a fuel will still pass through a standard filter under specific conditions. It's a crucial indicator of how well a fuel will flow in cold weather, preventing blockages in fuel systems. A high CFPP means the fuel is more likely to cause issues in cold temperatures, potentially clogging filters and preventing engine operation. .

Description

• As per IP 154 and IS 1448 (P-15) (without thermometer), ASTM D130, and ASTM D1838, the bath is designed for 6 bombs (rated for 50°C and 100°C). The Copper Strip Test assesses the relative degree of corrosivity of petroleum products, including aviation fuels, natural gasoline, solvents, kerosene, diesel, lubricating oils, and other related products. This test method is used to detect the presence of components in liquefied petroleum gases (LPG) that may be corrosive to copper.

For estimation of moisture in lubricating oils as per IP–74, ASTM D-95, IS 1448 (P-40), with one 10 cc receiver, condenser, and mantle. This test method covers the determination of water in the range from 0 to 25% by volume in petroleum products, tars, and other bituminous materials using the distillation method. It is used for determining the water content by heating up to the boiling point of water, and then condensing the steam with the help of a condenser to measure the water content in percentage form.

Description

• As per IP 123 & IS 1448 (P – 180) & ASTM D 86 (without thermometer) with one flask of 125 cc, One Cylinder of 100
• cc. and two asbestos Board. SS cooling bath with condenser tube
• Electrically heated model with voltage Power Regulator and geared heater unit of side or front delivery type.
