COLORIMETER FOR PETROLEUM PRODUCTS model ACL-2 - TANAKA Scientific - #1

Text version of the page

COLORIMETER FOR PETROLEUM PRODUCTS model ACL-2 Model ACL-2 was designed for automatic measurement of Saybolt/ASTM color of petroleum products utilizing the Tri-Stimulus method as prescribed in ASTM D6045, which correlates with the conventional D156 and D1500 respectively. Just set up a sample and press the START key; the test result will be displayed on the fluorescent display module in just a few seconds, and since all the subjective judgment is eliminated, a perfect traceability is attained. TRACEABILITY: No subjective judgment plus a full capability of easy and precise calibration assure high level of traceability that is required by modern quality assurance programs such as ISO-9000 series. ACCURACY: Combination of a high-speed 16 bit A/D converter and low drift/high precision amplifier assures an extremely high accuracy. No more guess work, especially for the tricky Saybolt color measurement. QUICKER THAN SPECTROPHOTOMETER: A typical measurement takes a mere 9 seconds, which is considerably shorter than the time a spectrophotometer would require. (typically 25 seconds) USER FRIENDLY DESIGN: -A dialogue type operation plus dedicated design for color measurement of petroleum products assure the easy operation. Just select the desired color scale from the menu, pour a sample in the sample cell, set it in cell compartment, and press START key; accurate test result will be ready in 7-10 seconds. -The new design sample cell takes a smaller sample volume (1/3 of the conventional rectangular cell’s) because of its cylindrical design. Also featured is plastic caps, which prevents sample spill when the sample cell is set in the instrument. -Capabilities of Platinum-Cobalt color scale for solvents and Gardner color scale for varnish have been added. WIDE SELECTION OF OPTIONS: -Flow-through cells for easy connection to automated sample handling systems. -Calibration Fluid Samples made to the Appendix of ASTM D6045 for easy/accurate calibration. -Rectangular sample cells for easy pouring of wax samples.
