Determining Water and Sediment in Petroleum Products 

by Centrifuge

     

Development of a Standardized Test Method for Determining Quantity of Water and Sediment in Crude Oil on The Field 

Currently a few laboratory test methods, like Sediment in Crude Oils and Fuel Oils by the Extraction Method (ASTM D473), Water in Crude Oil by Distillation (ASTM D4006), and Potentiometric Karl Fischer Titration (ASTM D4377) are used to determine the contaminates in crude oil. ASTM D96, Standard Test Method for Water and Sediment in Crude Oil by Centrifuge Method (Field Procedure), is meant for onsite usage instead of in a laboratory environment. The K60094 Oil Test Centrifuge is a portable centrifuge designed expressly for petroleum testing applications. This device also contained four centrifuge tubes of either ASTM conical type (6 or 8"), pear shaped (100 mL), or finger tube (12.5 mL).

     
   

PRODUCT SPOTLIGHT

     
   

Automatic Heated Oil Test Centrifuge

K60002 | K60092

The Automatic Heated Oil Test Centrifuge is a fully automatic bench top centrifuge designed for petroleum product testing. The unit features an integrated touch screen that can be used to turn the heat on and off, set the duration of the test, set the RCF/RPM values and choose the type of rotor assembly and corresponding glassware to be used during the test. 

     
   
   
     

The Koehler Automatic Test Centrifuge is designed to test for trace sediments and water in petroleum products by a variety of ASTM test methods

Conforms to the specifications of 

ASTM D91, D96, D893, D1796, D2273, D2709, D2711, D4007, D5546; IP 75, 145, 359; API 2542, 2548; ISO 3734; DIN 51793; NF M 07-020

  • Choice of long, short, pear, or finger rotor assembly to accommodate corresponding centrifuge tubes
  • Accommodates four (4) centrifuge tubes of 6 or 8” conical ASTM types, long, short, pear or finger tubes
  • Automatic control of acceleration ramp, centrifugation speed, and timing functions
  • 4-1/2” LCD Touch Screen Control Panel
  • Substantial insulation for reduced heat loss
  • Precise balancing, quiet operation

OTHER PRODUCTS OF INTEREST

     
   

Existent Gum Evaporation Bath

Gum formed during fuel storage can deposit on induction system surfaces, intake valves, stems and guides. To test for gum content, a 50mL sample is evaporated in an aluminum block bath for a specified period under controlled conditions of temperature and flow of air (aviation and motor gasolines) or steam (aircraft turbine fuel).

     

Kinematic Viscosity Bath

Kinematic viscosity is of primary importance in the design and selection of a wide range of petroleum products. Calibrated capillary viscometers are used to measure flow under gravity or vacuum at precisely controlled temperatures.
