ASTM D6217 Apparatus for Particulate Contamination in Middle Distillate Fuels

KN-6217 Apparatus for Particulate Contamination in Middle Distillate Fuels 

Overview 

    KN-6217 Apparatus for Particulate Contamination in Middle Distillate Fuels conforms to ASTM D6217 Standard Test Method for Particulate Contamination in Middle Distillate Fuels by Laboratory Filtration. The mass of particulates present in a fuel is a significant factor, along with the size and nature of the individual particles, in the rapidity with which fuel system filters and other small orifices in fuel systems can become plugged. This test method provides a means of assessing the mass of particulates present in a fuel sample. 

Features 

1. Precision Filtration Membrane: A nylon membrane with a 0.8μm pore size can effectively retain the fine particulate contaminants in the fuel and ensure the accuracy of filtration results.

2. Stable support structure: Equipped with a specially designed funnel and filter membrane support device to ensure that the filter membrane is smooth and stable during the filtration process, and to avoid filtration errors caused by deformation or damage of the filter membrane.

3. High-efficiency filtration device: The filtration device is designed to quickly filter 1L of fuel sample, improving work efficiency.

4. Wide range of vacuum sources: Mechanical vacuum pumps are used to generate and maintain vacuum levels from 1 to 100 kPa in a stable manner due to different laboratory conditions.

5. Precise adjustment device: equipped with high-precision vacuum control valve to ensure the stability of the vacuum level in the whole filtration process, effectively control the filtration speed, and avoid incomplete filtration or filter membrane blockage caused by vacuum fluctuation.

Technical parameters
