ADU 5 from Anton Paar (Austria) is a fully automated, compact stand-alone distillation unit which is operated by touchscreen interface. It is the ideal solution for performing high-precision atmospheric distillation tests.

The complete ready-to-go system occupies only a minimum amount of laboratory bench space and masters all standard fuel distillation tests as well as the distillation of ethanol-blended gasoline. ADU 5 comes prepared for automatic dry point detection. Testing and results are in full compliance with ASTM D86 (Group 0, 1, 2, 3, 4), D1078, D850, ISO 3405, IP 123, IP 195.

ADU 5 meets the highest safety standard in its class and the requirements of the latest version of ASTM D86. It features an automatic fire-extinguishing system and is equipped with an integrated cooling system.

The excellent heat control of ADU 5 guarantees a standardised distillation rate even for complicated mixtures. In addition to the perfect distillation rate control of ADU 5, the excellent temperature stability of the receiving chamber and an automatic correction of the results to standard pressure ensure highly accurate results with outstanding repeatability and reproducibility.
