LABORATORY
PETROLEUMFIXRegular fuel testing is vital as it ensures that you know that the fuel oil you’re bunkering and using is fit for its purpose. There is a host of problems that can occur with your fuel, both from the traditional heavy fuel oil to the more modern low sulfur fuels.
Petroleumfix uses the MINI SCAN IR VISION which is a high-speed, compact, and robust FTIR fuel analyzer for the comprehensive and automatic measurement of gasoline, jet, and diesel fuels. The analyser is configured to measure more than 100 fuel parameters and components for fuel blending, for quality inspection, and to check compliance with fuel specifications directly at the point of s.
WATER CONTENT
Shows concentrated levels of water and sediment.
VISCOSITY
Determine fluids resistance to flow
DENSITY
Determines the temperature that fuel
becomes crystallised and resistant to flow.
becomes crystallised and resistant to flow.
SULFUR CONTENT
High or Low Sulphur content
FLASH POINT
Determines the temperature at which fuel reacts to a flame under laboratory conditions.
RON-MON
There are two different octane numbers that are tested for. They include the research octane number (RON) and the motor octane number (MON).
DISTILLATION
Measures the temperature range when fuel turns to vapor.
