For Diesel & Biodiesel Fuels: PAC’s Cetane ID 510 Method ( D7668-2010) Now Approved by ASTM Committee D02

The Herzog Cetane ID 510 by PAC, a compact, automated instrument for quality Derived Cetane Number analysis of diesel and biodiesel fuels, is now a standard. Its method has been approved and embodied in ASTM D7668, "Standard Test Method for Determination of Derived Cetane Number (DCN) of Diesel Fuel Oils - Ignition Delay and Combustion Delay Using a Constant Volume Combustion Chamber Method."

The ID 510 is compact and easy to use, with fully automated test and calibration sequences, and is extremely precise. It provides perfect correlation to ASTM D613, and is Ideal for biodiesel and biodiesel blends as well as cetane improved samples.

Cetane ID 510 offers ’one-button operation’ for simpler, easier use when calibrating the instrument, or when running a test sample. Because it is equipped with a high-pressure injector for finer sample droplet size and therefore better combustion, the Cetane ID 510 produces much less soot in the test chamber than other Constant Volume Combustion Chamber (CVCC) instruments. The electronically controlled Injector guarantees high precision in fuel injection volume. It features a user-friendly design and is equipped with automated safety systems. Its high precision exceeds the results of CFR Engine and other CVCC methods, has long-term calibration stability, and has no carry-over effect from previous samples.
