Micro-Z ULSD Analyzer
High-precision analyzer for ultra-low sulfur diesel (ULSD).
- Highly accurate sulfur measurement (in ppm).
- Fast analysis with minimal sample preparation.
- User-friendly interface with comprehensive software.
- Robust and reliable for continuous operation.
- Compliant with ASTM and ISO standards.
Key Features
Micro-Z ULSD Analyzer is fully compliant with ASTM D2622, ASTM D7039, providing both standard method and refined methodology.
The Rigaku Micro-Z ULS is specifically designed for non-technical users, all operations – from calibration through routine analysis – can be performed via the easy-to-use interface. The analyzer can be powered by any standard “wall” AC outlet.
The Rigaku Micro-Z ULS is ideal as a benchtop instrument with unit dimensions of 450 x 410 x 440 mm and 18 x 16 x 17 inches
The Rigaku Micro-Z ULS uses a single measurement position (std. 35 mm cup) which translates to lower running and consumable costs for the lifetime of the unit.
The Rigaku Micro-Z ULS includes an external vacuum pump which aids in the consistent delivery of the high sensitivity measurements.Videos
Rigaku Micro-Z ULSD / Sulfur analyzer
Ultra-low sulfur.
Real-world precision.
A novel design for ultra-low level sulfur analysis
Designed for ultra-low level sulfur analysis of diesel, petrol (gasoline), and other fuels, the Rigaku Micro-Z ULSD sulfur analyzer and wavelength dispersive X-ray fluorescence (WDXRF) instrument features a novel design that measures both the sulfur peak and the background intensity.
Background correction
Measure the sulfur peak.
Correct the background.
A better net peak intensity measurement, from a single design decision.
The sulfur analyzer's ability to measure and correct for changes in background intensity delivers superior calibrations and enhanced real-world precision.
Lower limit of detection.
With a lower limit of detection (LLD) of 0.3 ppm S, the Rigaku Micro-Z ULSD sulfur analyzer complies with ASTM 2622-10, ISO 20884, and JIS K2541-7 methods.
Designed for
- Diesel
- Petrol (gasoline)
- Other fuels
Precision + Range
Fixed optics.
Switchable focus.
A 40 kV chromium-anode X-ray tube excites the sample at up to 40 W, read by a doubly curved RX-9 analyzing crystal and sealed proportional counter. Fixed optics with a switchable receiving slit select between peak and background, with samples analyzed in air while the optics themselves run under vacuum from an external pump. The analyzer uses a single measurement position with a standard 35 mm cup, keeping running and consumable costs low.
Built for non-technical operators.
Every step from calibration to routine analysis runs through the same on-board interface, powered by any standard wall AC outlet.
