Boiling Analysis, Manual (ASTM D1160)

Manual Boiling Analysing System according to ASTM D1160.
The distillation is performed from the Initial Boiling Point (IBP) to the End Boiling Point (EBP) by the operator.
The criteria for a distillation end are:

* the EBP in AET-temperature is exceeded
* the distillate volume is exceeded
* the maximum limits of heating bath temperature or flask temperature are exceeded (automatic
control)
* product cracking in the flask
* vacuum loss

The distillate volume is measured by the operator in a temperature controlled receiver.
A safety enclosure of the system to adequately shield the operator from the distillation apparatus in case of mishap as suggested by ASTM D1160-15 is quoted as an option as some customers will use the system within a fumehood.


The system includes the following components:

1 heating mantle for flask 500 mL, including the temperature sensor Pt 100.
1 insulation mantle for the upper half of the flask
1 manual lifting platform with integrated stirrer
2 distillation flasks, glass, 500 ml
2 magnetic stirrer bars for intensive mixing of flask content
1 flask temperature sensor Pt 100, stainless steel
1 ASTM-column & distillation head with silvered high vacuum jacket, with integrated product cooler and
condenser, foam breaker. The dimensions of the glassware correspond to the ASTM method.
1 head temperature sensor Pt 100 (according to ASTM-standard)
1 graduated distillate receivers, 200 ml, with double mantle, and with product chain
1 vacuum cold trap
1 analog manometer from -1 ... +0,6 bar for display of actual pressure status
1 vacuum sensor, independent of the type of gas, with inconel diaphragm, measuring range 100 Torr absolute
pressure (other ranges upon request)
1 vacuum control valve with throttle valve
1 vacuum pump, 2-stages, 8 m3/h
1 circulating thermostat, volume 3 l, operating range + 20°C to 100°C for operating the condenser and the
distillate receiver in the range 20°C to 90°C.
1 set of lines, sealings and accessories
1 rack for the mounting of all items, which is equipped with all mechanical components and
specific electric controls elements

1 Distillation Control Device DCD 1001 - basic controller for the following functions:
- heating power controller 0 - 100%
- temperature display for flask and head temperature
- vacuum controller with display
