Apparatus for Sediment Extraction in Crude and Fuel Oil

DESCRIPTION / TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS

Ensure the quality and cleanliness of your crude oil and fuel oil with our Sediment Extraction Apparatus. This fundamental laboratory instrument is specifically designed to determine the sediment content by the extraction method using toluene, in strict accordance with the ASTM D473 international standard procedure. This test is critically important for assessing oil quality, preventing blockages in pipelines and filters, and avoiding damage to pumps and engines.

The key to a successful extraction process is uniform and stable heating control. Therefore, this apparatus is equipped with an electric heating system whose power can be continuously adjusted (0-650W) via a solid-state voltage regulator. This stepless voltage adjustment feature gives the operator full control to achieve the ideal and uniform heating temperature, ensuring the extraction process runs efficiently and consistently for accurate results in every test.

Every component in this apparatus is designed for optimal durability and functionality as per the ASTM D473 method. The package includes all the necessary hardware, such as a robust stainless steel basket to hold the sample, as well as a specially designed glass condenser and water receiver. With the included 2000ml Erlenmeyer flask, you can process an adequate sample volume to obtain representative results.

For laboratories in refineries, pipeline terminals, and fuel quality control facilities, this sediment extraction apparatus is an essential investment. Its straightforward design, easy operation, and full compliance with a key industry standard make it a reliable tool for verifying product cleanliness. Ensure your crude oil and fuel oil meet stringent commercial specifications and maintain smooth operations with accurate and trustworthy sediment test data.
