Portable Fuel Quality Analyser (PFQA)
Mar 04 2015
Real-Time Analyzers, Inc. (USA) has developed a Portable Fuel Quality Analyser (PFQA) specifically designed for operation in demanding environments, such as refinery, pipeline, port, tarmac, and military operations. In less than 10 seconds it can determine numerous performance properties for gasoline, diesel, or jet fuel samples. These properties include: cetane index, cloud point, density, distillation (IBP, 20, 50, 90 & FBP), flash point, freeze point, pour point, octane, sulphur (>0.03 wt%), and viscosity. Such analysis traditionally requires a fully equipped laboratory, highly trained technicians, and at least 5 hours. Operation of the PFQA simply requires filling a 2 mL glass vial with fuel, inserting the vial into the sample holder, selecting the fuel type, and pressing “Begin Analysis”. In less than 10 seconds the property data is displayed, and an integrated thermal printer produces a hardcopy of the results.
