Atmospheric Distillation Tester

Our atmospheric distillation tester is a crucial laboratory instrument used in the petroleum industry to determine the boiling point distribution of crude oil and refined petroleum products. It operates by heating a representative sample in a precisely calibrated distillation flask and gradually increasing the temperature, simulating the atmospheric conditions. As the sample is heated, its components vaporize and then condense at different heights in a fractionating column. This process effectively separates the sample into various fractions, reflecting its volatility and composition. By measuring the temperature at which specific volume percentages are collected, this instrument provides crucial data for characterizing and assessing the quality of fuels and other petroleum-based products.
