Test Method
The ASTM color of petroleum products applies to products having an ASTM color of 0.5 or darker, including lubricating oils, heating oils, diesel fuel oils and petroleum waxes. (For products having an ASTM color lighter than 0.5, use the Saybolt Chromometer.) To determine ASTM color, the sample is compared against standard color discs in the Petroleum Comparator.
Features and Benefits
• Conforms to ASTM D1500 specifications
• Constructed from ABS (Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene) Fire Retardant Plastic. This robust, chemically resistant material is ideal for industrial environments.
• Single press of large switch illuminates sample for one minute
(two presses = two minutes, three presses = three minutes). So there
is no energy and bulb wastage.
• Halogen, long life, light source combined with standard daylight filters ensures full compliance with previous units and consistency from unit
to unit.
• Low voltage power supply.
• Disk values are read directly from disks.
• Disk can be simply, but securely, removed allowing replacement if
necessary.
• A new replaceable white insert is included with each instrument to ensure correct lighting levels are preserved.
• Fully removable sample chamber allows quick cleanup of inevitable
spillages.
