Pour Point Tester PPT 45150

Pour Points measure

The portable Pour Point Tester PPT 45150 from PSL Systemtechnik is a compact laboratory device for measuring the pour point (no flow point) and the calculated pour point of oils and oil products. The PPT 45150 uses the rotation method in accordance with ASTM D5985.

Wide temperature range without external thermostats

The rotation method used by the PPT 45150 determines the pour point (no flow point) with an accuracy of ± 0.1 °C and very good reproducibility.

The pour point, i.e. the lowest temperature at which the sample still flows, is determined from the pour point measurement in accordance with ASTM D5985.

Thanks to modern thermoelectrical heating/cooling modules you can measure without an external cryostat. A small amount of cooling water – with a water temperature of 8 °C – is sufficient to cover a temperature range of -45 °C to +150 °C (-49 °F to +302 °F).

Pour point measurements can be repeated automatically up to nine times in succession. We recommend those multiple measurings to obtain statistical significant results and information about the sample’s behaviour over time.

IN USE WORLDWIDE

Used by Leading Labs

Compact and transportable for worldwide use

Due to the compact design the Pour Point Tester requires only a small footprint and is transportable. All you need for operation is a cooling water- and a power supply. This permits a mobile operation of the Pour Point Tester ‘in the field’. For a safe transport of the instrument and usual accessories a convenient trolley case is optionally available. At flights it can be taken as carry-on baggage if necessary.

The Pour Point Teste is equipped with a wide range voltage input so it can be operated all over the world.

Lowest temperature Pour Point Tester: from -55 to +150 °C

Our Pour Point Tester can be extended with a cooling water recooler for ultra-low temperatures down to -55 °C – a very favourable option compared to direct cooling with a thermostat of comparable performance.

Fully automated test procedures with software

Up to 10 test configurations can be saved on the instrument in stand-alone mode.

By connecting a PC to the Pour Point Tester and in combination with the PSL software WinPPT the instrument you can execute fully automated test runs. An unlimited number of test configurations can be saved and managed.

With WinPPT you can comfortably control your test runs, the temperature gradient is displayed in a temperature/time-graph and can be printed for documentation or saved in an Excel-compatible format for further evaluation.

The temperature gradient gives you additional information about the behaviour of the sample. First crystallisation-processes are as well observable as strong exothermal reactions.

With the calibration thermometer, available at PSL, the PPT can be calibrated once a year. Thus, you can always assure accurate measurement results. So an expensive maintenance service is obsolete and your maintenance costs are lowered.
