CONRADSON CARBON RESIDUE APPARATUS

Model Number: SW-CR-1001
Compliance Standard : Astm D189

The Conradson Carbon Residue Apparatus is designed for determining the carbon residue of lubricating oils, fuel oils, and other petroleum products. This test helps assess the potential carbon formation during combustion, which is critical for engine performance. It is ideal for use in quality control, research and development, and petroleum refineries.

Key Features:

  • • Meets ASTM D189 and ISO 4260 standards for accurate testing.
  • • Equipped with a digital temperature control for precise results.
  • • Durable construction for laboratory and industrial use.
  • • Includes a high-efficiency electric heater for consistent heating.
  • • Easy-to-read carbon residue scale for accurate results (0 to 100%).
  • • Automatic shut-off mechanism for safety during tests.

Applications:

  • • Used for testing lubricating oils, fuel oils, and other petroleum-based products.
  • • Helps evaluate engine oils and fuels for carbon forming tendencies.
  • • Essential in quality control of petroleum products.
  • • Used in petroleum refineries, automotive industry, and fuel testing laboratories.

Technical Specifications:

  • • Heating Element: 1000W for precise and controlled heating.
  • • Temperature Range: 150°C to 550°C.
  • • Carbon Residue Measurement Range: 0% to 100%.
  • • Power Supply: 220V, 50Hz AC.
  • • Includes a heating chamber, condensate receiver, and carbon residue scale.

Additional Information:

The Conradson Carbon Residue test is a crucial part of assessing the quality of oils, fuels, and lubricants used in combustion engines. The carbon residue produced during the combustion process can result in the formation of harmful deposits that may affect engine performance and longevity. Thus, the CCRA-201 is vital for preventing engine damage and optimizing fuel quality.

  • • Ideal for both laboratory testing and field use.
  • • Helps in determining the tendency of oils and fuels to form carbon during use in high-temperature conditions.
  • • Used in various sectors, including automotive, marine, and industrial machinery testing.

Safety Considerations:

  • • Ensure proper ventilation when operating the apparatus, as combustion testing may release fumes.
  • • Always follow standard safety procedures while handling the apparatus to avoid burns or other injuries due to the high heating element.
  • • Avoid placing combustible materials near the testing apparatus during operation.
  • • Always ensure that the apparatus is properly calibrated before each test for accurate results.
