Text version of the page

AUTOMATED DISTILLATION TESTER AD-6 ASTM D86, D850, D1078 ISO 3405, IP123, JIS K2254 Model AD-6 automatically performs distillation test of petroleum products as well as narrow boiling range samples. Tanaka’s 6th generation model in the series has been developed as an eco-friendly automated distillation tester using a Peltier system which does cooling/heating of the condenser as well as cooling of the cylinder compartment. AUTOMATIC MEASUREMNT Test parameter for each sample type is programmed prior to tests. Typical sets of test parameters are programmed prior to tests and recalled before each test run. After setting the sample, just press the START key; the distillation proceeds automatically. The vapor temperature and the actual distillation curve are displayed on a real time bases. Finally, the test results are printed out by built-in printer, and if a PC is connected, the test results are transmitted to the PC(ADMgr) or LIMS. FULLY SELF-CONTAINED DESIGN All the necessary electronics and mechanics are contained in one casing for ease of use and higher reliability. Smallest footprint (as of 2002) fits on a lab bench easily. ADVANCED FIRE CONTAINMENTS SYSTEM Mechanical shutter with N2 gas injection (standard, N2 gas supply required) helps controlling fire, should the sample catches fire. Note: Although AD-6 is equipped with a fire containment system, it is essential that the AD-6 be attended and other means of putting out fire be available at all time during a test.
