The InfraCal 2 Ethanol Blend Analyzer for measuring percent ethanol in gasoline is the ideal solution where a quick, accurate, on-site measurement is required and a single, repetitive ethanol blend analysis is needed. The InfraCal 2 is based on proven IR technology, originally developed by Wilks, and used by regulatory agencies and fuel terminals worldwide. The compact, easy-to-use InfraCal 2 has a measurement range of 0-100% ethanol in gasoline and an accuracy of +/- 0.2. These results are comparable to ASTM D4851.
Samples are applied to a scratch-resistant zinc selenide attenuated total reflectance (ATR) sample plate and easily cleaned with a cloth or paper towel. No solvents requiring special ventilation, expensive waste disposal or difficult to clean cells are needed. The analysis can be done by non-technical personnel with no formal training and is ideal for lab or field use. The InfraCal2 has added features such as touch screen display, data storage and transfer, a multi-language interface and password protected settings. The internal battery pack allows for portability and up to 12 hours continuous use, providing results in under a minute at a fuel loading rack, in a laboratory or at a pump in a fueling station.

Multiple Calibrations |
A Multitude of calibrations can be stored allowing the InfraCal to be moved to different locations without the need to recalibrate after initial calibration at a particular location |
No need for Installation/Commissioning |
The InfraCal 2 is a portable analyzer, weighing less than 5 lbs. with a 6 in. square foot print, requiring no installation or commissioning, little to no routine maintenance or recalibration. |
Minimal Consumables |
The analysis requires little to no consumables making the cost-per-test minimal. |
The InfraCal 2 Model ATR-E can be ordered with a choice of one of both of the following factory calibrations. The two ranges of calibration available are 0-20% and 70-100%. A 0-20% 5 Point Ethanol Low Concentration Calibration includes0, 5, 10, 15, and 20% ethanol in gasoline points. A 70-100% 5 Point Ethanol High Concentration Calibration includes 70, 80, 90, 95, and 100% ethanol in gasoline. The calibration is performed using standards prepared by a certified laboratory.
