Evochrom Aromatics HPLC System - Diesel & Jet Fuel (SA2400-2)ASTM D6379; IP 436

AvCount2 is a laser based particle analyser used for determining the particleconcentration in liquid fuels and oils. It can be used throughout distribution

networks and in the laboratory, in fact anywhere that requires accurate

determination of particle distribution in a liquid sample. Whether checking thequality of fuel, filter systems or in service lubricants, AvCount2 provides fast and

precise results.

AvCount uses the light emitted by a laser to illuminate a cell through which thesample is passed. Particles present in the sample cast a shadow onto the sensor

within the cell, and as the particle passes across the cell the voltage output ofthe sensor drops. The voltage drop of the cell is proportional to the particle size

and AvCount2 calculates the size of the particle based on this principle.

Results are displayed in real time and are simultaneously printed out on the

integral printer. The test methods embedded in AvCount2 cover a range of

fuels, lubricating oils and hydraulic fluids and can be edited to create customtest profiles. Versatile connectivity and memory management allow results to be

accessed, printed out or downloaded to a USB stick.

AvCount Verification Material (SA1006-0)The material is a suspension of a NIST traceable medium test dust in a super-clean clear, mineral based, technical oil.

AvCount Verification Material is manufactured in accordance with ISO

11171:2010 Annex F, with the exception of the use of a clear technical oil

as diluent. The certified values are statistically derived from the results of asignificant number of tests conforming to IP 565, using AvCOUNT instruments

calibrated in accordance with ISO 11171:2010, under ISO 9001 conditions.

The homogeneity and variability of the AvCount Verification Fluid is checked in

accordance with ISO Guide 35 and the essentials of ISO Guide 34.

Laboratory Instruments for quality control, analysis and calibration

FIJI FAME in Jet Instrument (SA5000-2)ASTM D1655; Defence Standard 91-91 Issue 7, Amendment 3

IP 583; ASTM D7797 Determination of the fatty acid methyl esters (FAME) content

of aviation turbine fuel (AVTUR) by Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy -Rapid screening method

• All FAME types from C8 to C22 including Coconut, Mustard, Palm, Rapeseed,

Sunflower oil, Soya, Jatropha

• Analysis time 20 minutes

• Certified range 10–150 mg/kg FAME in AVTUR

• Measuring range 0-1000 mg/kg in AVTUR

• Certified range 20ppm to 20% in Middle Distillates

• Laboratory and field instrument

• Fully automatic

• Suitable for untrained operators

• No cleaning solvents required

• No pre-sample preparation required

• 50 ml sample volume

The patented Fame In Jet Instrument (FIJI) has been developed to offer the

industry a rapid and easy check on Parts Per Million (ppm or mg/kg) levels of FAME

in Aviation fuel using test method IP 583 and ASTM D7797.

FIJI uniquely utilises state of the art FTIR (Fourier Transform Infra-Red

Spectroscopy) technology and a patented sample preparation system which

allows FAME detection accuracy down to the 10mg/kg level.

FIJI can be used as a field or lab based screening tool to give a quick indicationof possible FAME contamination that may then necessitate further investigations.

The instrument can be used to prevent expensive testing and avoid costly delays

of fuel release.

The FIJI instrument is robust, extremely simple to use and is fully automatic so nospecialist operator training is involved. Tests require less than 50ml of sample and

typically take under 20 minutes. Results are presented in mg/kg units together

with an optional traffic light system for flagging FAME contamination levels of thefuel.

By comparison current analytical tests can take many hours, require complex

equipment and demand high skill levels.

Using a unique sample preparation module the sample is pumped at a controlled

flow rate though a proprietary disposable cartridge. The sample components arespectrally analysed by the FTIR and a result is displayed in mg/kg and a graphical

spectrum is also shown.

The system is self-cleaning so no solvents are required. After each test the

cartridge is simply and easily replaced and the instrument is immediately ready forthe next sample.

• Strict conformance to international test methods

• Temperature range ambient +5 to 400°C

• Easy ‘3-step to test’ operation involving minimal operator intervention

• Unique ‘SafeFlash’ fire extinguishing system

• Large touch screen

• Single action lifting pod

• Small, compact footprint

• Seta ‘Ignite’ - robust and long lasting ignitor

• 30 programmable test profiles, test methods & sample names

• Rapid fan assisted cooling

• Optional barcode reader available

The Seta PM-93 is a fully automated Pensky-Martens Closed Cup Flash PointTester which combines strict method conformance with state of the art

control technology and safety systems to provide the next generation of

automated precision flash point instruments.

Seta PM-93 provides rapid sample testing using integral heating andforced air sample cooling systems. An intuitive user menu and 8.4”

(215mm) SVGA colour touch screen operation provide unrivalled

ease of use with real time display of test progress. Large capacitymemory allows storage of test profiles, operator names, test

methods and in excess of 2000 results.

Unique test profiles enable the test to be set up and

repeated quickly without re-entering the sameinformation. For example, if numerous ‘jet’ samples with

similar expected flash points are being tested then a test

profile can be set up and stored to memory so the usercan select this option without the need to program the

test parameters.

Operation is simple, just a single raising or lowering

action when loading or removing the test cup. The lidand shutter are integral to a hinged pod and fitted with a

fire detection probe, fire extinguishing manifold, ignitor,

flash detector and temperature probe. The stirrer drive,shutter actuator and ignitor dipping mechanism are also

self contained within the pod module.

A unique alignment design ensures that the lid and cup

locate perfectly every time.

The ignition source is a purpose-designed extended life hot wire, a gas

ignition option is also included. The sample temperature probe is a class A PRT andflash detection is by a thermocouple.

An optional, unique ‘SafeFlash’ fire extinguishing system (35002-0) is available which

automatically and immediately activates an extinguisher in the event of excess flame

or fire around the test cup. If discharged the screen prompts the user to re-activatethe extinguisher by simply replacing the integral inert gas canister. Canisters remain

sealed inside the instrument until pierced by the actuator mechanism.

Additional safety features include PRT checks, safety dip before starting, over-

temperature cut out, gas flame relight and gas shut off.

Rapid turnaround between tests is achieved using a high capacity cooling fan andoptimised air flow.

A password protected ‘calibration’ mode quickly allows verification of instrument

performance (a suitable range of traceable verification and calibration materials are

available from Seta).

Cleaning & maintenance procedures are simple. The instrument’s lid and shutter

can be cleaned in-situ to minimise down time between tests and a quick releasemechanism allows easy access to the lid and shutter for maintenance.
