Automated Mini Pour / Cloud Point Tester
Compact tester for determining pour and cloud points of petroleum products.
Key Features:
- Accurate and repeatable measurements.
- User-friendly with automated features.
- Fast and reliable analysis.
- Compact and portable design.
- Compliant with relevant standards.
ASTM, D97, D2500, D6749, D7683, ISO, 3016, 3015
Designed with certitude.
TANAKA?s MPC series of cloud point testers and pour point analyzers have been designed for automatic determination of POUR POINT (PP) and CLOUD POINT (CP) with small specimen size and shorter test cycle time while securing better test precision than the conventional manual methods.
PP measurement is by ?AIR PRESSURE METHOD? (ASTM D6749), and CP measurement is by ?SMALL TEST JAR METHOD? (ASTM D7683).
The epoch-making automatic PP test method used by the Tanaka MPC-102S pour point analyzer yields 1?C test resolution, while the new CP method yields 0.1?C resolution. (Cloud point analyzer shown with optional printer).
Features
Automated Mini Pour / Cloud Point Tester Model mpc-102s is fully compliant with ASTM D97, ASTM D2500, ASTM D6749, ASTM D7683, providing both standard method and refined methodology.
Since the required sample volume is a mere 4.5mL and the sample cup is a test-tube type removable jar, the sample handling is extremely easy.
Just set up a sample, select a test mode and expected pour point then press the “START” key. The sample is cooled at the steepest possible rate without affecting the formation/growth of wax crystal, which has been known to be a critical factor for PP/CP determination. The test cycle time is typically 1/3 to 1/2 of that of the conventional tilting methods. (*1)
The typical repeatability and reproducibility are 1°C and 2°C respectively, when PP is determined at 1°C intervals.
A compact and energy efficient cryo block bath model CB-80C is capable of cooling the samples to -65°C without a liquid chiller. Electric energy consumption is only 20% comparing to MPC-102L with external liquid chiller!!Accessories

| SPECIMEN VOLUME | 4.5ml | |
| MEASUREMENT MODES | Selectable from various modes. 1. CP mode: 0.1°C or 1.0°C intervals 2. PP mode: Programmed by the user. Programmable parameters are; *Amount of applied air pressure for PP detection, to accommodate different sample types: L (Low) for diesel fuels, H (High) for lube oils, VH (Very High) and UH (Ultra High) for residual fuels and similar samples. *Testing intervals: 1.0°C, 2.5°C or 3.0°C (in total, 4×3=12 modes for PP.) 3. CP / PP modes: CP is determined and then PP. PP detection is programmable by the user with the same parameters as PP modes’. |
