Petroleum Product Color Testing Equipment Accurate Solution for Determining the Color of Lubricating Oil and Kerosene

DESCRIPTION / TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS

Set the standard for the visual quality of your products with our reliable and accurate petroleum product color tester. Color is one of the first and most fundamental quality indicators for a wide range of petroleum derivatives, such as lubricating oils, diesel fuels, and kerosene. Variations in color can signify the degree of refinement, the presence of contaminants, or the level of degradation due to oxidation. This instrument provides a standardized, objective method to measure and classify color, ensuring batch-to-batch consistency.

The instrument operates on the principle of direct visual comparison under strictly controlled lighting conditions. An operator places the product sample into a special color comparing tube and observes it through an eyepiece. Simultaneously, the user rotates a disk containing a series of standard colored glass filters to find the exact match for the sample's color. This method eliminates the subjectivity and variability common with comparisons made under ordinary light sources.

At the heart of this instrument is its specially designed light source. Utilizing a milk-white light bulb with a calibrated color temperature of approximately 2750 K, the device simulates the industry-standard north-facing daylight, thereby ensuring consistent and repeatable results every time a test is performed. The comprehensive color disk, featuring 26 filter holes, offers a wide range of color gradations, enabling the precise classification of numerous types of petroleum products.

The application of this tool is vital across the entire petroleum industry supply chain. In refineries, it is used to monitor the refining process. In lubricant blending plants, it ensures the final product has a uniform color as per specifications. At storage terminals, periodic color testing can serve as an early indicator of product degradation. Its simple operation makes it an indispensable tool for fast and efficient quality control.

By investing in this color tester, you empower your laboratory with the ability to make quick, reliable, and accountable quality assessments. Its robust design and high-quality components guarantee a long service life in a busy lab environment. Make this instrument your frontline defense in maintaining the visual quality and consistency of your petroleum products.
