ULTIMATE TESTING VERSATILITY

Patents 4,568,426 and 4,680,167

Processes up to 12 samples simultaneously, enhancing laboratory’s test productivity

Operation Oven Capacity 600 ml (approximate) Temperature Range Ambient to 775ºC Time Control Multiple programmable steps (seconds, minutes, hours for each step) Overnight Test Mode Continues nitrogen flow for up to 16 hours after cool-down

Allows standard sample to be run with every test for verification of test accuracy Accommodates sample sizes from 0.1 to 2 grams (depending on carbon residue content)

Safety

Permits routine analysis for carbon residue from 0.1% to over 30%

Temperature High temperature limit-switch with auto shut down and audible alarm; test won’t start in over-temperature state Nitrogen Flow Automatic flow control with internal pressure regulator to maintain constant pressure; pressure gauge in kPa and PSIG scales; pre-test low/high flow check and adjustments; low pressure switch with auto shut down and audible alarm

ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY OPERATION

Sealed oven and directed exhausts results in much cleaner analysis compared to Conradson Carbon

Requirements

Nitrogen purge gas continuously blankets oven and removes harmful vapor, which are either condensed into an external trap or vented to exhaust

Nitrogen 135 to 1000 kPa (20–145 psig); cylinder preferred, approx. 37L (1.3 ft
