Introduction
A smoke point tester is an instrument used to measure the smoke point of the petroleum products and the other oils, which is the temperature at which the oil begins to produce a continuous smoke, and it is used in the petroleum, the fuel, and the lubricant industries for the evaluation of the burning quality of the oils. The smoke point is an important property of the fuels and the oils used in the lamps and the burners, and it indicates the tendency of the oil to produce the smoke during the combustion, and the higher the smoke point, the cleaner the burning; the smoke point tester measures the smoke point by heating the oil in a specified apparatus and by observing the temperature at which the oil begins to emit a continuous smoke, following the standardized methods, such as the ASTM D1322; the tester consists of a test lamp with a wick, a heating system, a temperature sensor, and an observation system, and it provides a controlled and reproducible measurement, with features such as the temperature display; the smoke point is expressed in degrees Celsius or degrees Fahrenheit, and it is used for the quality control of the kerosene, the lamp oil, the jet fuel, and the other oils. Smoke point testers are used in the petroleum and the fuel industry for the testing of the kerosene and the jet fuel, for the quality control, for the product development, for the compliance with the specifications, and for many other applications. With their measurement of the smoke point, smoke point testers are essential for the evaluation of the burning quality of the oils.

FAQ
Q1: What scenarios is this tester used for?
A: It determines the smoke point of kerosene, fuels or oils, indicating combustion quality and volatility for petroleum QC, using a controlled flame or heated sample with observation.
Q2: What standards does it comply with?
A: It follows ASTM D1322 for smoke point of kerosene, related ISO and GB/T standards, with apparatus dimensions and procedure standardized.
Q3: What is the warranty?
A: The tester carries a 12 to 24 month warranty covering the apparatus. Consumables are standard. Damage from misuse or fire is excluded.
Q4: Is it hard to operate?
A: Operation requires trained staff for flame control and observation. We provide a manual and training.
Q5: What is the lead time?
A: 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.
Q6: Is calibration required?
A: We recommend verification against traceable standards at regular intervals, typically every 6 to 12 months, and keeping calibration records for audit purposes. The manual describes the procedure, and reference standards are available from us. Accredited third-party calibration can also be arranged on request.
Q7: Are consumables universal?
A: Fuel samples and wicks are standard or method-specific. Ongoing cost is minimal.
Q8: Can it be customized?
A: Yes, several configurations are available. Options include manual or automatic observation and extraction ventilation. We can discuss further custom requirements, confirm feasibility and advise any effect on the schedule before the order is confirmed.
Q9: Is installation included?
A: Standard delivery includes the tester and manual. Ventilation is arranged by the user, with training available.
Q10: What samples are compatible?
A: It handles fuels and oils within the method. It is not for non-petroleum samples, volatile samples beyond safety limits, or unrelated thermal tests.
