Automated Reid Vapor Pressure analyser


Ergonomic design, high level of automation and convenient operation make the AutoREID from AD Systems an excellent automated alternative to mini-methods for accurate vapor pressure measurement of crude oil, volatile petroleum products, components and feedstocks for transportation, storage, or handling purposes. In full compliance with ASTM D323, ASTM 4953, ISO 3007 and similar standards, this instrument directly measures the Reid Vapor Pressure (RVP) without correlation or calculation. Its rugged construction specifically beneficial for testing viscous sticky samples or samples containing suspended solids without a risk of the instrument damage. Vigorous mechanical agitation accelerates pressure stabilization even on “difficult” samples like crude oil, low pressure chemicals, paints, and others.


Equipped with fast coupling test pressure vessels are easy to disassemble and clean. Two independent measurement positions allow simultaneous measurement of two samples. The watchdog system permanently monitors bath temperature stability, bath level, overpressure or overheating, assuring highest quality results and increased safety of operation. All information related to the instrument calibration is tracked into the calibration journal.

corrosivity ASTM D665/NACE Powered by innovation and the industry demand, AD Systems has developed an automated solution to analyse iron corrosivity of fuels, turbine oils, hydraulic fluids, and to evaluate performance of corrosion inhibitors. Compliant to most popular test methods our automatic systems are time saving for the lab technician, removing subjectivity provide accurate and traceable test results.


The complete solution consist of the automated bath for iron corrosivity CB10 in accordance with ASTM D665, NACE TM0172, ISO 7120 and automated corrosion rater CT10.


The CB10 bath was engineered to minimise operator time and run corrosion test fully unattended. After installing a beaker with 300ml of the sample in one of the test positions and selecting the test method (standard or customized) on the touch screen, the entire procedure is fully automated: sample heating, stirring, insertion of test specimen (spindle), injection of distilled or synthetic sea water, temperature, and test time controls.


A new instrumental approach developed by AD Systems for evaluation the test rod surface for the presence of rust drastically reduces operator subjectivity. Using a digital camera with a specific image analysing algorithm, the CT10 enables quick, accurate and objective rating according to the selected method: The combination of CB10 bath and CT10 rater provides automated testing with precise and fully documented results.

63644pr@reply-direct.com Automated approach to onsite fuel stability


and compatibility testing by ASTM D4740 Depending on the manufacturing route and blending components availability, the blended marine fuels can be predominantly aromatic or paraffinic in nature, or somewhere in between. While these fuels will be stable at their own, the variation in solvency when blended may lead to increased risk of incompatibility creating serious problems such as plugging of filters and fuel supply systems by flocculated asphaltenes.

Rotterdam will then be able to pick up a compatible fuel in Fujairah. Carrying out of compatibility test between the existing and proposed bunker fuel delivery is the only way to provide a realistic estimation of the potential issues that might result.


AD Systems has developed ST10 - a portable, fully automated instrument for stability and compatibility testing of heavy fuel oil in the lab or on-board of a vessel. The ST10 performs a complete automation of the ASTM D4740 method, a simple and efficient test that can be carried out on board of vessel to measure the cleanliness and compatibility of marine fuels, including residual and distillate fuels.

Unlike measuring soot concentration and oil contamination where numerous options exist, measuring dispersancy performance is a real challenge to the oil condition monitoring analyst.


Dispersancy is the property that allows the lubricant to suspend and carry away “pollutants” of diverse sources such as soot from combustion, metallic particles from wear, corrosion of mechanical parts, and insoluble products resulting from the ageing of the oil, etc.


AD Systems offers unique instrument on the market that automatically and simultaneously provides information on oil dispersancy along with contamination index (content of sooty insoluble material in lubricants). The DT100DL “Dispersancy Tester” has approved ASTM D7899 test method and is an integral part of Oil Condition Monitoring Programs for in-service lubricants.


For More Info, email: email:


Equipped with high resolution digital camera, the DT100DL takes images of the oil spot and the built-in software analyses it and reports in just a few seconds quality parameters of the oil: Merit of Dispersancy (MD), Contamination Index (IC) and combined performance rating (DP).


For More Info, email: email:


Very easy to operate, the DT100 DL offers enhanced features for documenting, reporting and electronic archiving. Both color image (identical to what the human eye sees) and B&W image of oil spot are stored with “stamped” sample ID. Versatile communication protocol is configurable for the specific requirements of each laboratory.


This dispersancy tester helps OCM experts to monitor the health of lubricant oil in service and alert when oil degradation starts to compromise the engine durability.

New generation of ASTM D3241 jet fuel


thermal oxidation stability analysers AD Systems has announced the official inclusion of TO10, their innovative jet fuel thermal oxidation stability analyser, in Table 1 of ASTM D3241. The updated version D3241-24 is available from astm.org.


For More Info, email: email:


An extensive equivalency study completed in 2023 has demonstrated perfect alignment (R2 0.9914) of thermal stability results performed using the new AD Systems TO10 with those generated on the legacy equipment used to develop this test method and listed in Table 1.


For More Info, email: email:


The new analyser was designed to raise the precision of this important test method to a new level. All critical test parameters were carefully studied by AD Systems, and state-of-the-art engineering solutions were implemented to develop the TO10, reducing errors while enhancing precision and reliability.


Testing laboratories and refineries can benefit from TO10’s high precision and high throughput for their routine work certifying jet fuels in accordance with ASTM D1655, D7566, and other specifications. Lab operators enjoy a highly user-friendly instrument with low maintenance. The test sequence is fully automated from sample aeration to the rapid cooling at the end of the test. No special cleaning is required and lab efficiency and productivity are improved drastically.

Research centres that are developing the next generation of Sustainable Jet Fuels (SAF) will appreciate the versatility of the TO10. It covers a broad temperature range and its patented dual syringe pump is ideal for analysing non-conventional samples with increased levels of viscosity or density.


When the ITR—DR10 reference tube rater (ASTM D3241 Annex A2) is connected to the TO10, the transfer of the heater tube scan is automatic, and the detailed, D3241 compliant test report will be completed with the deposit thickness profile.


The TO10 is well suited for any application, from routine testing to research work on conventional and sustainable aviation fuels.
