Cold Filter Plugging Point

Test Method:-

Cold Filter Plugging point is highest temperature, expressed in multiples of 1°C, at which a given volume of fuel fails to pass through a standardized filtration device in a specified time when cooled under the conditions prescribed in this test method.This test method is applicable to distillate fuels, including those containing a flow-improving or other additive, intended for use in diesel engines and domestic heating installations.

Standard: - ThisThis apparatus conforms to ASTM D6371 and other similar test methods.

Features

•  Determines the low temperature flow characteristics of automotive diesel fuels and gas oils, including samples with flow improving additives, by measuring the temperature at which the sample ceases to flow through a wire mesh filter under standard test conditions.
•  The equipment comprises of Cryostat upto –60°C, CFPP test kit and Vacuum device.
•  Fully automatic digital temperature controller with PT-100 sensor.
•  A well balance CFC-freecascade refrigeration system with eco-friendly                                                                                                           refrigerant.
•                                                                                                Power supply : 230 V, 1 Phase, 50 Hz.
