Products in this range include undyed motor and aviation gasolines, jet propulsion fuels, naphthas, kerosene and petroleum waxes. Color is an important quality characteristic for many products, and can also be […]
Determines Saybolt Color of 
highly refined petroleum products. Consists of a matched set of sample 
and standard tube assemblies with optical viewer. Compares a sample of 
the product to be tested against standard color discs under a uniform 
light source. Reduce column height until the sample field is lighter 
than the color standard and convert height to Saybolt Color using chart 
on instrument. Three-position turret on standard tube permits convenient
 changing of color disc combinations. Accessory Daylight Lamp (Cat. No. 
K13010) provides standard light source per ASTM specifications.
						
						For petroleum waxes, the Saybolt Wax Chromometer is equipped with 
heaters to keep waxes that are not fluid at ambient temperature molten 
during testing. Sample tube has a 200W chrome steel strip heater and a 
hinged cover to maintain even heat distribution. An aluminum block 
heater with 50W cartridge element keeps wax molten in the draincock 
assembly. Accessory variable transformer may be used to regulate the 
sample temperature. Optical viewer and stand are fully insulated from 
the heaters. Sample tube assembly has heat resistant fiber handles.
