Small Scale Rapid Oxidation Test (RSSOT)
A new Method for the Determination of the Oxidation Stability. Suitable for Diesel, Biodiesel, FAME, Gasoline, Grease, Oil, Food, Cosmetics etc.
Economical Aspects and Advantages
The PetroOXY-Method performs a massive reduction of testing time.
The handling & cleaning time per test is limited to approx. 5 min.
As a result of improved repeatability, for producers there is the
possibility of cost saving, because now the concentration of valuable
additives can closer be limited to the required level.
Compared to some other oxidation and storage stability test
methods, this test method uses a small sample and gives a result in
a short time period.
Method
5 ml of a sample is heated together with oxygen in a small hermetically sealed test chamber. This initiates a very fast artificial aging process,
that is displayed by a pressure drop in the system.
The results include all volatile & non-volatile oxidation products, thereby provide a complete analysis of the sample's oxidation stability.
