Existent Gum in Fuels by Jet Evaporation

Existent Gum Test Apparatus
Evaporates aircraft turbine fuel and motor and aviation gasoline samples under controlled conditions in accordance with ASTM specifications. Consists of a high temperature evaporation bath with 100mL test beakers and, for aircraft turbine fuels, a steam generator and steam superheater.

Evaporation Baths
•Conforming to ASTM D381 and related specifications

•Choice of three-unit and six-unit models

•Safety top assembly allows for easy positioning and connection of all conical adapters to the bath

•Digital flowmeter for accurate and precise air flow measurement

•Available with built-in steam superheater

•Microprocessor programmable high accuracy temperature control

•Built-in pressure regulator

Electrically heated baths for determining existent gum in aircraft turbine fuels by steam-jet evaporation and in motor and aviation gasolines by air-jet evaporation. Fully insulated, aluminum block design assures safe, efficient high temperature operation. Equipped with air/steam pressure regulator with gauge and a digital flowmeter for adjusting air flow per ASTM specifications. Stainless steel jets deliver air or steam flow to the test wells through removable brass conical adapters. Microprocessor PID control provides quick temperature stabilization without overshoot, and the bath is protected by an overtemperature control circuit that interrupts power should bath temperature exceed a programmed cut-off point. Dual LED displays provide actual and setpoint temperature values in °C/°F format. Communications software (RS232, etc.), ramp-to-set and other enhanced features are available as extra cost options.
