Cold Filter Plugging Point of diesel, biodiesel and heating fuels.
Measuring CFPP Principle
The sample is cooled down according to the methods and when the preselected temperature is reached a vacuum of 20 mBar is automatically applied to the sample. The product is sucked through the filter into the calibrated aspiration pipette. If the sample takes more than 60 seconds to reach the upper barrier detector (during the aspiration phase), or it fails to return completely into the test jar before that the product has cooled by a further 1°C, the Cold Filter Plugging Point is reached.
Measuring CFPP Devices
- Aspiration pipette
- Filter assembly
- Light barrier
Measuring Temperature Probe
- Platinum resistance PT100 class A

- Self-identification of the typology of the analysers connected
The software includes:
Analysis Menu
- Standard method as per ASTM / IP / ISO / EN / DIN… norms of reference
- Optional methods:
- T-sample – T-bath (Delta T constant)
- cooling rate °C / h
- selectable bath steps
- fast bath with selectable temperature
- Audible alarm and displayed messages at the end of the analysis and in case of errors and/or malfunctions
- The parameters displayed and updated in real time are:
- sample temperature
- bath temperature
- vacuum pressure
- low level light value
- up level light value
- aspiration time
- release time
- intertime test
Thanks to an istogram (graph) that shows the aspiration and release times it is possible to observe the behaviour of the sample during its cooling phase. This feature is an excellent tools for the observation and evaluation of the additivations actions and behaviour

Cleaning pipette procedure
By using a suitable cleaning liquid and pressing the relevant function button the analyser performs a cleaning sequence of 10 aspirations cycles. Easy removing of aspiration pipette and filter assembly allows cleaning according to the methods
Test Jar
- Same dimensions and volume as described by the standard test methods
- Product level mark
- Small edge on the top in order to fix the glass cell to the analytical head
Cooling System
Integrated gas CFC free motor compressors:
- Single stage (for temperatures up to -40°C / 1)
- Double stage (for temperatures up to -80°C / 2)
Equipped with an automatic energy power save system. After 15 minutes from the end of the analysis the cooling system goes in stand-by mode.
