Ensuring compliance with ASTM D473, IP 53, and ISO 3735, Ayalytical Instruments crude oil and fuel oilapparatus is ideal for the determination of sediment in crude oils and fuel oils by extraction withtoluene. The precision of this instrument allows for the testing of a range of sediment levels from 0.01to 0.40% mass. Test samples are placed in the refractory extraction thimble. Once the toluene is slowlyboiled, its vapors are then dripped into the funnel, rinsing off any crude or fuel oil. The remainingresidue is then measured, its constant mass determining the sediment by extraction.
This simple apparatus comes equipped with all required implements for this extraction procedure,including a 1000 ml Erlenmeyer flask, stainless steel basket with porous Alundum extraction thimble,quick-cooling metal condenser coil, and glass cup for water collection. Optional add-ons are viewable byclicking the accessories tab.
