2010 Petroleum Testing Equipment Catalogue. 100`s of products and 1000`s of test methods.

Petrotest Instruments, the Berlin based petroleum testing equipment manufacturer, has launched a new short-form catalogue for 2010 showcasing its vast product range.

Able to trace its roots back to the very beginnings of ‘materials testing’ in the late 19th century, Petrotest manufactures equipment to ASTM – IP – DIN and many other international standards.

The new catalogue is indexed by keyword, chapter, reference numbers and test methods making it easy to locate the product that you are looking for amongst the 500 products and over 1000 test methods that are listed.

The catalogue is designed to be used in conjunction with the Petrotest website. Once the product has been found on the printed page, using the multiple indexes, two or three clicks on the Petrotest website will present you with comprehensive descriptions, test method compliance, photographs and other useful information.

Chapters in the catalogue cover sampling, density and gravity, viscosity, distillation, flashpoint and auto-ignition, fuel and oil analysis, friction and wear, grease, wax and bitumen testing. In addition a wide range of thermometers, viscometers, calibration fluids and metal test specimens are available.

Sample products include :

The PMA4 fully automatic Pensky Martens flash point tester follows methods ASTM D 93 A + B and IP 34. The PMA 4 can be combined with the unique 12 place automatic sample changer for high throughput laboratories.

The standard PMA 4 is pre-programmed with 14 standard test methods and user definable search programs and is extremely easy to operate.

A needle, cone or other rod of known dimensions and weight penetrates a product sample under gravity, for a predetermined length of time, and the penetration depth is recorded. The resulting figure can then be used as the basis for controls in product development and for quality control.
