JFTOT Analyzer

DR10

To qualify jet fuel thermal oxidation stability by ASTM D3241 method a visual rating of heating tubes was historically used for specification purposes, but it is suffering from the drawback of operator subjectivity. Since 2014 ASTM moved toward objective metrological technique capable to accurately measure the thickness of the deposit instead of its color comparison. The automated tube rater DR10 from AD Systems was the first commercial instrument available on the market. With proven performance, it became referee method in jet fuels specifications.

The DR10 – ITR (Interferometric Tube Rater) measures deposit thickness in less than 5 minutes. It displays in SI units (nanometers) a 3D mapping of the deposit around the total surface of the tube, reports maximum and average thicknesses, and calculate total volume of the deposit.
