Ask us about this item

The Video Distillation VD10 revolutionizes distillation testing by bringing unmatched automation and precision to the analysis of atmospheric distillation of petroleum products.

Powered by innovation, the VD10 analyzer revolutionizes this routine analysis of petroleum products by providing unparalleled automation and precision.
The powerful algorithm assisted by video camera (patent pending) analyzes in real time the boiling behavior of the sample in the flask during the distillation run and applies optimal heating to strictly respect conditions of the chosen method.
As an experienced manual distillation operator, visual monitoring allows the VD10 to detect boiling changes early enough to anticipate the appropriate heating regulation to reach IBP, 5% in given time, and the distillation rate control. No need for programming or optimization, the distillation test is perfect from the first try even for unknown or difficult samples like biofuels.

Applications:

  • Gasoline
  • Refineries
  • Special fuel
  • Pipeline and terminals
  • Military fuel testing
  • Jet fuel testing

Methods:

  • ASTM D86, D850, D1078
  • ISO 3405, ISO 918
  • IP 123, IP 195
  • DIN 51751
  • JIS K2254
  • GOST 2177

Benefits: 

The VD10 is the most advanced distillation instrument available today. Developed by AD Systems, the original imaging system makes the VD10 truly automatic distillation apparatus not requiring any programming, drastically reducing operator time.

High quality components, precise sensors and robust construction assure high reliability, heavy-duty use with minimum maintenance.

User friendly interface contains all necessary features for test traceability, quality assurance, diagnostics, communication and safety.
