Ramsbottom Carbon Residue Apparatus
Determines the ‘carbon residue’ left after evaporation and pyrolysis of a sample oil in the Ramsbottom furnace, providing an indication of the deposit forming tendencies of fuels and guidelines for the processing of refinery products.
- Conforms to ASTM D524 and related specifications
- Microprocessor temperature control with digital display and over-temperature cut-off
Thermostatically controlled coking furnace for five samples. Cast-iron block type furnace reaches the standard test temperature of 550°C (1022°F) rapidly and controls with ±1°C stability. Microprocessor temperature control has °C/°F switchable digital setpoint and display. Operator and equipment are protected by an over-temperature control circuit which automatically interrupts power to the unit should the block temperature exceed the programmed cut-off point.
This unit replaces the K27100 & K27190 Ramsbottom Carbon Residue Units.
