The ASTM D3241 / IP 323 Thermal Stability test is one of the most important tests for the jet fuel quality control.
The TO10 revolutionizes this routine test of jet fuels by bringing unmatched operation simplicity and reliability of test results.
The operator work is simplified to its maximum: a dedicated gauge allows easy and perfect tube positioning in the test section, no tools are needed to assembly the test. The smart software control and monitor all test conditions in real time.
Together with the fast cooling, the TO10 improves drastically the lab productivity.
The referee automatic tube rater ITR (DR10) can be linked to TO10 for automatic data transmission of tube rating.
The TO10 can provide full traceability of the test run (including dP monitoring and the tube rating) without a need of extra accessories or specific tubes.
Based on its robustness and reliability, the TO10 can be a working horse in any lab testing civilian and military fuels . Due to its flexibility and wide temperature range from 100°C to 380°C , the TO10 is well suited for research labs analysing conventional or synthetic jet fuels and its components.
