-3

The Micro Carbon Residue Tester is an automatic airtight furnace that is pre-programmed to run tests to determine 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).
