Subject

Pour Point of petroleum products, crude oils, motor and engine oils, additives, lubricating oils, …
Determination (D6922) if an automotive engine oil is homogeneous and will remain so, and if it is miscible with certain standard reference oils after being submitted to a prescribed cycle of temperature changes.

Measuring Pour Point Principle

According to the methods, the sample is cooled down at a specified rate and, at the prescribed temperature intervals, the mechanical arm of the analyser lifts the test jar from the cooling jacket and tilts it in order to bring it in horizontal position to test the flow of the product. The sample movement is detected by the thermal probes (PT100 detection) placed above the sample surface which react if touched by the cooled sample.

Measuring Pour Point Devices

  • Two PT100 detection probes placed on the surface of the product
  • Mechanical moving arm bringing the test jar in horizontal position

Measuring Temperature Probe

  • Platinum resistance PT100 class A
