MICRO CARBON RESIDUES TESTER MCRT-160

Alcor's MCRT-160 provides a simple and safe measurement of a petroleum product tendency to thermally degrade and form coke in pyrolizing high temperature conditions. Its powerful digital control on all ASTM D 4530 test steps provides equivalent results to Conradson Carbon (ASTM D 189) with a significantly lower level for issues and confusion. A typical carbon analysis according to D 189 can easily require 90 minutes or more of an expert operator's time. MCRT-160 frees lab expert personnel for more important tasks. Operator has only to weight initial and final sample and start the test. MCRT-160 automatically performs factory-set test program according to ASTM D 4530. Moreover, for more convenience and versatility, it can also be programmed to automatize your specialised time and temperature profiles.

ANALYSIS ACCORDING TO D 4530, MICROPROCESSOR PRECISION

- Alcor's patented and proven technology as specified in ASTM D 4530
- Automatically precisely controls each test step - from initial sample heating throughout the final cooling.
- Test start with just one button
- Night mode analysis
- Displays test status on a LED reader for a simple display
- Continuously monitors nitrogen temperature and pressure, warning the technician when parameters exceed operational limits

INNOVATIVE ANALYSIS VERSATILITY

- Processes up to 12 samples simultaneously,
- Allows standard samples to be examined with each test, for analysis accuracy verification.
- Automatic flow control is constant;
- Sealed furnace and direct discharge provide clean and smoke-free analysis;
- Allows for routine analysis for carbon residues from 0.1% to more than 30%

ENVIRONMENT FRIENDLY OPERATION

- The sealed furnace and direct drainages result in a very cleaner analysis than Conradson Carbon
- Purge gas nitrogen continuously cleans furnace and clears harmful vapours, which are condensed in an external trap or vented to waste
