The Next Generation in Jet Fuel Thermal Oxidation Testing

PAC recently released its latest jet fuel thermal oxidation analyzer, the Alcor JFTOT 230 Mark IV (JFTOT IV). It adds enhanced safety features and simplified operational capabilities to its previous industry-proven solution that significantly increases operator productivity in a smaller, streamlined package. The JFTOT IV is listed in Table 1 of ASTM D3241-13, “Standard Test Method for Thermal Oxidation Stability of Aviation Turbine Fuels”, as an acceptable instrument model.

The JFTOT IV has more safety features than previous generations. The sample and waste containers minimize jet fuel vapor exposure to operators and to the environment, and the sliding test door prevents exposure to the hot heater tube test section. In addition, it is noticeably easier to operate than earlier versions. Previously manual tasks, such as priming the pump, monitoring sample flow, and aerating the sample, are now automated. Due to its ease of use, the JFTOT IV requires little training, which is important for laboratories with limited resources.

With the JFTOT IV, the operator only spends 10 minutes preparing and starting a test run versus the approximate 50 minutes required by previous instruments. This is a significant improvement that reduces operator intervention by 80%. The significant time saved in performing the tests means the operators are free to perform their other job duties. If you run three tests every day, you could increase lab productivity by as much as 25%. Watch the video to see how easy the JFTOT IV is to operate!

Alcor by PAC is the global leader in jet fuel thermal oxidation testing with over 40 years of experience in the industry. Alcor first introduced their jet fuel thermal oxidation analyzer in 1972. The JFTOT IV is the sixth generation analyzer of this line.
