Portable Fuel Analyser for Simultaneous Analysis of Multiple Jet And Diesel Fuel Properties
Feb 24 2011
The FUELex analyser from Bruker Optics (USA) utilises an extensive fuel library built from numerous commercial and military sources. The FUELex is an ideal device for monitoring changes in jet and diesel fuel quality, providing results on over 12 properties simultaneously.
Utilising a fiber optic dip probe, FUELex sampling consumes no fuel and requires no special sample preparation. Current sample type capabilities include Jet A, Jet A-1, JP5, JP8, Diesel and Diesel 1. Results are ready in less than 3 seconds after activating the measurement.
The FUELex permits multiple properties of the sample fuel to be measured simultaneously and correlated to ASTM parameters. These properties include API gravity, % aromatics, cetane index, density, 10% / 20% / 50% / 90% recovered distillation temperatures, freeze point (pour point for diesels), flash point, hydrogen content, viscosities and saturates.
Operation requires minimal training and is performed with touch screen commands. The display can be set for simple Pass / Fail readouts and the operation leaves little chance for operational error. FUELex is also thermally stable and can be operated over a wide temperature range (-30ºC to +45ºC). The analyser is constructed with a NEMA4/IP65 enclosure for use in adverse weather and environmental conditions.
FUELex uses high throughput, NIR optical technology with no moving parts making the analyser extremely stable and repeatable, and the unit can be moved without requiring recalibration.
