Compliance Standards: IS 1448 (Part 20), IP 170 / IP 33, ISO 13736 – Abel Closed Cup Method, BS 2000 (Relevant Abel method section)
Application : Petroleum refineries and oil depots, Lubricant and fuel testing laboratories, Petrochemical industries, Quality control and inspection laboratories, Research and academic institutions.
Typical test samples include: Kerosene, Aviation Turbine Fuel (ATF), Light petroleum fractions, Solvents and volatile chemicals.
Product Description : The apparatus consists of a copper water bath fitted with an Abel brass test cup and lid assembly. Heating is controlled manually using a heavy-duty voltage variac, allowing precise control of the heating rate as specified in the standard test method. A digital temperature indicator displays the bath/sample temperature accurately, while the electric stirring mechanism ensures uniform heat distribution throughout the bath, improving repeatability and accuracy of test results. The entire unit is housed in a robust metal enclosure with a compact bench-top design, ensuring operational safety and long service life.
