Micro Carbon Residue Tester – 97400-3
The Micro Carbon Residue Tester is an automatic airtight furnace that is pre-programmed to run tests to determine Micro (Conradson) Carbon residue of petroleum products.
The digitally controlled furnace has a temperature range of ambient to 500 °C. Temperature, flow and pressure values are automatically controlled and values are displayed on the control panel. The test cycle includes an audible ‘end of test’ alarm.
Includes: one six place holder for 16 ml sample tubes and one 12 place holder for 2 ml or 4 ml sample tubes (for sample tubes see Accessories).
