New Digital Manometer with Data Management Software for Automated Testing of Oxidation Stability  

The new PA5 digital manometer combined with the PetroNet® software from Petrotest Instruments (Germany) form a proprietary data logging and management solution for determining the oxidation stability of fuels, lubricants and oils according to various standards including ASTM D 525, ISO 7536, ASTM D 942, D 2112 and D 4742. A unique feature of the PA5 manometer is the simultaneous recording of temperature along with pressure and time data. For fuels oxidation and other ASTM oxidation tests, the PA5 offers pre-defined routines. Test stop can be programmed based on criteria such as elapsed time, pressure drop or percentage of pressure drop.
