Micro Carbon Residue Tester – 97400-3
The Micro Carbon Residue Tester is an automatic airtight furnace that is pre-programmed to run tests to determine the Micro (Conradson) Carbon residue of petroleum products.
The digitally controlled furnace has a temperature range of ambient to 500 °C. Temperature, flow, and pressure values are automatically controlled, and values are displayed on the control panel. The test cycle includes an audible ‘end of test’ alarm.
Includes: one six place holder for 16 ml sample tubes and one 12 place holder for 2 ml or 4 ml sample tubes (for sample tubes, see Accessories).
Methods: ASTM D189, ASTM D4530, IP 13, IP 398, BS EN ISO 10370 & BS 2000-398, ISO 6615, ISO 10370
Features
- Carbon residue range 0.1% to 30.0% (m/m)
- 12 sample capacity
- Automatic temperature ramp and gas control
- Digital display flowmeter
- Equivalent to ASTM D189; IP 13
- Temperature range ambient to 500 °C
The instrument has an integral condensate trap and exhaust outlet connection that allows fumes to be vented remotely if testing is not carried out under a fume hood. Low pressure and dual over-temperature cut-outs ensure safe operation. Fan assisted air cooling minimizes the time between tests.
