New, automatic cold properties testing instrument with superior precision
Pour point and cloud point are important physical property parameters for fuels and lubricants as they give an indication how these oils perform in extreme low temperature environments. Although the manual test methods are still the referee in many product specifications, the manual test is labour intensive and requires operator subjectivity to define the end point leading to reduced precision and accuracy.
Tanaka Scientific’s new Model mpc-6 pour/cloud point tester fully automates the test, significantly reduces sample consumption and testing time, and offers superior precision and accuracy over D97/ISO3016 and D2500/ISO3015.
Pour point is measured according to ASTM D6749 which has a reproducibility (R) of 2.2 °C when tested at 1 °C intervals, and 3.1 °C when tested at 3 °C intervals. R of manual test (D97) is 9 °C. Cloud point according to ASTM D7683 achieves R of 2.45 °C whereas the manual test (D2500) is 4 °C. Both pour and cloud point results can be obtained in one run on the aliquot of sample which normally takes about 45 minutes in total for CP/PP around -30°C.
The mpc-6 is equipped with a powerful self-contained cooling mechanism so that the sample temperature can reach -80 °C without use of a conventional external chiller or any circulating liquid. It is also notable that this model has a width of only 16cm (6.3 in.) so it requires only a very small bench space.
The integrated colour LCD touch panel with graphical user interface has significantly enhanced the ease of use compared to the previous model. The mpc-6 also has a ‘search mode’ for unknown samples so that the optimal parameters to match the manual result can easily be found.

New and unique benchtop cloud and pour point analyser to expand petroleum testing instrumentation range
Scavini has manufactured petroleum testing equipment in accordance with ASTM, IP, DIN, ISO, EN, JIS, IS, AFNOR etc. since 1957. Located on the beautiful shores of Lake Maggiore in Italy, 30 km from the Swiss border, it has a wide variety of analysers in its portfolio, from flash point testers to cold properties analysers, from demulsivity to foaming and oxidation stability testers there are more than 150 different instruments available, most of them fully automatic.
Known for their ruggedness, durability and reliability, Scavini instruments can be seen in many labs around the world thanks to a capillary distribution network.
Scavini have recently introduced the first ever compact benchtop cloud and pour point cabinet, (in accordance to ASTM D97, D5771, D5772, D5773, D5853, D5950; DIN 51597; IP 15, IP 219, IP441, IP 444, IP 445, IP 446; ISO 3015, ISO 3016), powered by Stirling cooling compressors instead of the traditional refrigerators. The main advantages of this instrument are reduced dimensions, very low power consumption (less than 0.5 kW) and much better performances as working temperatures are reached in less than one hour.
The equipment has a total of 16 jackets divided in groups of 4: each group is maintained at the different test temperatures (0, -18, -33 and -51°C) but any of the four groups can be set also to -69°C. Electronic thermoregulators with digital displays maintain the jacket temperatures with +/- 0.1°C accuracy, each group of jackets has a separate cooling unit with a dedicated switch on the front panel.
Jackets are also suitable for CFPP tests in accordance with ASTM D6371, IP 309 and EN 116. More information online:

TESTERS FOR GREASE, BITUMEN, LUBE OIL, FUEL, ANTIFREEZE ETC.
Scavini’s oxidation stability tester for diesel fuels, (in accordance to ASTM D2274, IP 388, ISO 4263, 12205 etc.) and lubricants (
acc.to ASTM D943 IP 157 - ISO 4263, 12205 etc.) available in 4, 8 or 12-position units is one of the most compact and advanced instrument of its kind available on the market. The old oil baths that required the use under a fume hood have been replaced by solid aluminum blocks virtually odour and maintenance-free while, in lieu of the variable area flowmeters, more modern mass flow controllers equip the instrument: a knob and an LCD display allow the user to set the desired flow rate and the electronics provides to maintain it precisely throughout the duration of the test.

On the back of the instrument a water dispenser and a sink line permit to distribute water to each mushroom condenser. All the instruments are equipped with digital thermoregulators with PID action and digital display for both temperature and set point: an independent safety switch cuts the power supply off in case of overheating. An additional safety switch protects the flow controllers by turning them off in case air pressure goes down.
Versions with 8.4” inch panel PC capable to record flow and temperature throughout the test are also available: a user friendly software allows the user to store, recall and generate printed reports containing temperature and flow data related to each test for quality assurance purposes.
