PETROLEUM DRISTILATION UNIT
A compact, benchtop laboratory instrument designed to determine the boiling range and distillation characteristics of petroleum products, such as gasoline, kerosene, and diesel fuel, according to ASTM standards.
- Main Distillation Unit: Includes the heating element and control panel.
- Glassware Kit: 125ml or 250ml distillation flask and graduated receiving cylinders.
- Condenser Bath: A stainless steel tank (often insulated) for cooling the vapors.
- Thermometers: High-precision sensors for monitoring vapor temperature.
- Accessories: Flask support boards (Ceran or asbestos-free), cleaning brushes, and power cables.
- Temperature Range: Ambient to 400C.
- Heating Control: Stepless electronic regulator or digital PID controller.
- Condenser Temperature:Adjustable from 0 to 60 C (depending on model).
- Power Supply: 220V/230V AC, 50Hz.
- Compliance: Designed to meet ASTM D86, IP 123, or ISO 3405 standards.
- Material: Corrosion-resistant stainless steel exterior.
- Precision Heating: Uniform heat distribution ensures accurate boiling point data.
- Durable Build: Robust stainless steel construction prevents rust from chemical exposure.
- Safety First: Equipped with over-temperature protection and insulated handles.
- Ease of Use: Simple interface with digital displays for quick monitoring.
- Standardized Results: Guarantees that fuel samples meet international regulatory and safety requirements.
This unit consists of a high-temperature heating mantle or burner, a precision-engineered distillation flask, and a cooling condenser bath. It allows users to heat a crude or refined sample and collect the condensed fractions at specific temperature intervals. It is widely used in refineries, petrochemical labs and educational institutions for quality control and chemical analysis.
