Description
Is a portable, fully automated mid-Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) spectrometer designed for rapid multi-fuel analysis. It provides detailed chemical component analysis and key physical property predictions for gasoline, diesel, jet fuel, and biofuels in under 60 seconds using a single push-button operation.
Key Capabilities & Parameters Tested
- Gasoline Analysis: Measures concentrations of aromatics (including benzene), oxygenates (ethanol, MTBE, ETBE), olefins, and saturates. Chemometric models calculate calculated parameters including Research Octane Number (RON), Motor Octane Number (MON), Anti-Knock Index (AKI), Vapor Pressure (DVPE/RVP), and distillation fractions.
- Diesel Analysis: Quantifies biodiesel content (FAME/FAEE), total aromatics, poly-nuclear aromatics (PNA), and cetane improvers (2-EHN). Calculates cetane number, cetane index, flash point, and distillation profiles.
- Jet Fuel Analysis: Measures total aromatics, PNA, and FAME contamination, while determining freezing point, flash point, smoke point, and viscosity.
- Biofuels & Ethanol: Detects ethanol/methanol concentrations, water content, and denaturants, and distinguishes between FAME/FAEE and pure vegetable oil.

A portable, fully automated flash point tester engineered for maximum safety and high-speed quality control across petroleum products, chemicals, and liquid waste. Operating with Continuously Closed Cup (CCCFP) technology, it provides precise measurements on micro-sample volumes in under 10 minutes with a single push-button operation. Its rugged, electric-spark ignition design eliminates open flames, making it an essential analyzer for refineries, mobile laboratories, and hazardous waste facilities worldwide.
Key Capabilities & Parameters Tested
- Flash Point Range: Measures flash points across a wide temperature spectrum, spanning from up to ( to ), accommodating both volatile solvents and heavy fuels.
- Micro-Volume Safety: Requires as little as of sample per test, significantly reducing hazardous waste generation, thermal risks, and toxic fume exposure during analysis.
- Continuous Closed Cup Method: Utilizes an unvented test chamber where an electric spark ignites sample vapors, measuring the resulting pressure peak to determine flash point without relying on manual flame observation.
- Fuel Contamination & Dilution: Rapidly detects gasoline contamination in diesel fuel, ethanol in gasoline, or unburnt fuel dilution in used lube oils for engine health monitoring.
