Petroleum Testing

The general appearance, color, and clarity of a distillate fuel are useful controls against contamination by residuals, water, or fine solid particles. Although the small amount of water or solids required to produce an unsatisfactory hazy fuel is usually insufficient to affect the performance of the fuel, customer acceptance is important. Our visual and automated colour measurement instruments (spectrophotometers for transmission and reflectance; colorimeters and colour comparators) are synonymous with accuracy in the analysis of liquids and solids including: edible, industrial & fuel oils, chemicals, pharmaceuticals, beverages & foodstuffs. The instruments and ISO17025 certified reference materials comply with international test methods and standards such as ASTM, DIN, AOCS and ISO.
