New ASTM D 7345 Method for ISL PMD 100 & 110
Recently ASTM officially approved a new Micro Distillation method and published it as the ASTM D 7345 Test Method. The Micro Distillation method covers a procedure for determination of the distillation characteristics of petroleum products having a boiling range between 20 to 400°C at atmospheric pressure.
The ASTM D 7345 covers sample range of light & middle distillates, automotive spark-ignition engine fuels, aviation gasoline, aviation turbine fuels, regular & low sulfur diesel fuels, biodiesel, 10% Ethanol blend, special petroleum spirits, naphtha, white spirits, kerosene, burner fuels and marine fuels. The new Micro Distillation test method significantly reduces sample volume and test time required to conduct the distillation.
INTERLABORATORY TEST STUDY
To derive precision for new distillation method and its correlation to ASTM D 86, ASTM conducted a global interlaboratory study consisting of 33 fuel samples, including biofuels, and 20 laboratories. With reference to ASTM Research Report RR D02 - 1621, the Micro Distillation technology is precise, has comparable precision and good correlation with ASTM D86. The current work is in progress to add D 7345 as an alternative to D 86 standard test method to fuel specifications such as D 4814, D 975, D396, D1655, D3699 and others.
MICRODISTILLATION INSTRUMENT
The PMD 100 & 110 are compact analyzers
Patented principle allows true "push-of-a-button" operation making the unit exceptionally user-friendly for field application increasing operation efficiency when used for fuel quality screening at logistical points, fuel blending, at-line and in mobile labs
ADVANTAGES OF NEW METHOD:
- Fast result within 6 to 8 minutes
- Low sample size of 10 ml
- Easy to use by one button operation
- No apparatus conditioning or cleaning necessary
- Portable design
- Precise results from the first run
FAST TURNAROUND TIME:
