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).

Micro Carbon Residue Tester - 97400-3

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

Additional Information

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 minimises time between tests.
