Petroleum Density Tester

Introduction

Petroleum density tester is a specialized instrument used in the petroleum industry to measure the density of liquid fuels and other hydrocarbon-based products. This crucial parameter is indicative of the mass per unit volume and is essential for quality control and compliance with industry standards. The tester typically employs the oscillating U-tube principle, where the sample is introduced into a vibrating U-tube filled with a reference liquid. The frequency of oscillation changes with the density of the sample, allowing for accurate density determination.

Standards

Complies with the above standards, but is not limited to them.

Features

1. Automatic sequences reduce operator dependence.

2. Standard accessories and reference materials support the method.

3. Automatic calculation and printing deliver ready-to-use results.

4. Multiple sample positions process several specimens in a single run.

5. Cooling and ventilation functions improve turn-around.

FAQ

What is the Petroleum Density Tester mainly used for?

The Petroleum Density Tester is used to test petroleum products, fuels, lubricants and related materials for specified properties. It supports refineries, oil laboratories, fuel inspection, transport and quality-control work.

What standards does the Petroleum Density Tester comply with?

The instrument is designed with reference to applicable ASTM, ISO and GB/T petroleum test methods and IEC 61010 electrical safety. Procedures and reference materials must follow the named method. Compliance documentation can be provided on request.

What warranty comes with the Petroleum Density Tester?

A 12-month warranty applies to the complete equipment against defects in materials and workmanship. It excludes consumables, wearing components and accidental or misuse damage. Our service team handles claims against the serial number, and longer cover can be arranged.

Will staff need special training?

Routine operation is straightforward and is covered in the user manual, including setup, daily use and basic maintenance. Staff with basic laboratory experience can run it after a short familiarisation. We provide remote guidance and can arrange on-site training where required.

How long does delivery usually take?

Standard models require 7-30 working days. In-stock units can ship within 3-7 working days. Custom configurations or large built-to-order systems may require additional time, and we confirm the exact schedule before order confirmation.

Is calibration included?

To protect result reliability, periodic verification should be performed, typically once or twice a year. The instrument arrives factory-calibrated, and self-check routines help spot drift. We offer traceable calibration service if the site needs it.

Where do we get replacement parts?

The instrument uses standard, widely available consumables rather than special locked items. Replacement parts, accessories and consumables can be ordered from us against the model number. We keep common service parts in stock for prompt supply.

Can the Petroleum Density Tester be customised?

Yes, common options include different ranges, voltages, accessories, interfaces and capacity or size configurations. We confirm feasibility, specifications and any delivery impact before order confirmation. Custom requirements are reviewed case by case.

Do you provide on-site installation?

Benchtop and standard units typically require only placement and connection before use, while larger systems may need professional commissioning. We confirm the installation requirements at order stage. On-site service and training can be provided if needed.

What maintenance and safety points matter?

Do not use flammable samples near ignition sources, exceed temperature limits or reuse contaminated reference material. Ventilate and follow fuel-handling safety rules.
