Automatic Cold Filter Plugging Point System
Cold Filter Plugging Point Detection–The cold filter plugging point
detection system provides automated sample testing with the accuracy and
repeatability in accordance with ASTM D6371 and related international test
methods. The sample is cooled according to the pre-selected temperature
profile. A 20 mbar vacuum is applied at specific intervals to the sample
across a 45 micron mesh filter into the aspiration glass cell assembly. If it
takes more than 60 seconds for the sample to reach the upper barrier detector
or more than 60 seconds to return below the detector upon release, then the
test is completed and the cold filter plugging point has been reached.
Advanced Software Package–The Windows®-based software package can
control either a stand-alone system or provides multiple analyzer networking
with a single network control station. All analytical parameters are graphed
and displayed in real-time as well as recorded in Microsoft® Excel file
format. The software monitors the operation and performance of all the
analyzer components for proper data measurement, including the solenoid
valves, cooling system, other moving parts, as well as the Pt-100 temperature
probes and the pressure sensors. The calibration curves for each probes and
sensors are displayed individually and saved to the hard disk with date and
time of test.
Cooling System–For various user applications, the automated cold
filter plugging point system is available with either one-stage cooling for
temperatures as low as –35°C or two-stage cooling for temperatures as low as
–70°C. The direct cooling system requires no solvent cooling bath and thus
eliminates operator exposure to solvents used in standard cooling systems.
The direct system is capable of rapid cooling, approaching –70°C bath
temperatures in approximately 15 minutes, and utilizes less electricity than
in standard cooling systems. The rapid cooling feature combined with a
consistent cooling profile system provides repeatable results with high test
reproducibility.
Multiple Configuration System–These automated sample cooling and
physical property measurement systems can be configured with up to six test
positions with one of five possible test heads at each position: cloud point,
pour point, cloud & pour point, freezing point, and cold filter plugging
point. Standard and customized multiple configuration systems are readily
available. Please inquire with Koehler Customer Service about product
specifications and ordering information.
PC Configuration– Operation of the software package requires the use
of a PC, which should be ordered separately. Please inquire with Koehler
Customer Service if assistance is needed in procuring a PC. The PC should
have the following minimum requirements: Pentium III 800 MHz processor, 128
MB RAM, 2 GB hard drive, CD-ROM, Windows® 95/98 operating system, Microsoft®
Excel, Windows® keyboard, monitor, mouse, graphic and video cards.
