97400-3 MICRO CARBON RESIDUE TESTER

97400-3 Micro Carbon Residue Tester is an advanced automated laboratory instrument designed to determine the amount of carbon residue formed after the evaporation and pyrolysis of petroleum products. It is widely used in petroleum refineries, lubricant testing laboratories, and quality control facilities where fuel and oil performance characteristics must be accurately assessed.
The system measures the tendency of a sample to form carbonaceous deposits under high-temperature conditions, providing an important indication of combustion cleanliness and thermal stability. High carbon residue values can indicate a greater likelihood of engine deposits, fouling, and reduced efficiency, making this test critical for evaluating fuel and lubricant quality.
The 97400-3 Micro Carbon Residue Tester is fully automated, ensuring consistent and repeatable test conditions with minimal operator involvement. Automation improves accuracy, reduces variability, and enhances laboratory productivity by streamlining the entire testing process from sample handling to result generation.
Designed for modern laboratory environments, the instrument provides precise control of test parameters and reliable measurement of carbon residue in accordance with recognised industry methods. This ensures that results are suitable for regulatory reporting, product development, and quality assurance applications.
