POUR/CLOUD TESTER MPC-602
Model MPC-602 has been designed for automatic determination of Pour Point (PP) and Cloud Point (CP) with small specimen size and shorter test time while securing better test precision than the conventional manual method's. PP measurement is made by utilizing a new automatic method, namely Air Pressure method, which yields eventually no bias against the conventional test method's, repeatability of 1°C and reproducibility of 2°C(*). This epoch-making accuracy has made PP determination at 1°C intervals make more sense. The CP/PP mode executes a CP determination and then a PP determination consecutively, which further improves the test throughput. MPC-602 is a 6 tests version of its original single test model (MPC-102L). ASTM has approved the PP test method: ASTM D6749 on "Standard Test Method for Pour Point of Petroleum Products (Automatic Air Pressure Method)". *Accuracy information is for typical samples.
POUR POINT AT 1°C INTERVALS FOR HIGHER YIELD IN PROCESS
The conventional P Ptest methods yield a rough PP numbers of multiple of 3°C, and thus higher resolution in PP determination has been long awaited for more elaborate process control. With the patented Air Pressure method, PP can be nowdetermined at 1°C intervals with high accuracy, since the disturbance on the formation of wax crystal structure through the test process is at a minimal level. When PP is measured at 1°C intervals, typical reproducibility are 1°C and 2°C, respectively.
EASY SAMPLE HANDLING
Since the required specimen volume is a mere 4.5 ml and the specimen cup is a test-tube type removable jar, the sample handling is extremely easy.
EASY, QUICK, AND PRECISE PP/CP DETERMINATION
Just set up the specimen, set test parameters, and then press the START key to start. Specimen is cooled at the steepest possible rate without affecting the formation/growth of wax crystal, which has been known to be critical in PP/CP determination. For fuel oils, the specimen may be even pre-heated automatically and then cooled for CP/PP determination, which further improves test throughput.
