Diesel Water Ash Sulfur Mixing Tester

Product Introduction

Analysis of water, ash, and sulfur content in diesel fuel is critical for quality control, compliance with specifications, and predicting fuel performance and emissions. Standard test methods for these parameters often require a homogeneous sample to ensure the measured value is representative of the entire batch. Free water can separate, and solid particulates (which contribute to ash and can contain sulfur) can settle.

While there isn't a single, universally recognized instrument explicitly named a "Diesel Water Ash Sulfur Mixing Tester," such a device would serve the function of vigorously and effectively mixing diesel samples under controlled conditions to disperse any settled water or solid contaminants. This prepared, homogeneous sample can then be accurately sampled for analysis using instruments like Karl Fischer titrators (water), furnaces (ash), and XRF or combustion analyzers (sulfur). The specific mixing method might vary, including mechanical stirring, shaking, or homogenization, potentially with temperature control to ensure the sample is in the correct state for mixing and subsequent analysis.

Designed to handle diesel fuel samples safely in a laboratory environment.

Supports compliance with fuel quality standards and regulations.

Product Features

Based on the likely requirements for mixing diesel samples for water, ash, and sulfur analysis:

Robust stirring or mixing mechanism suitable for diesel fuel viscosity (e.g., powerful magnetic stirrer with strong magnetic coupling, overhead stirrer with appropriate impeller, or a laboratory shaker).

Sample vessel holders or platforms capable of securing sample containers of various sizes (e.g., bottles, beakers).

Variable speed control for the mixing mechanism to adjust the mixing intensity based on sample volume and viscosity.
