Ramsbottom Carbon Residue Apparatus
Product Code : EL-FTLE-10900
Quick Answer: The Ramsbottom Carbon Residue Apparatus determines the carbon residue left after evaporation and pyrolysis of a sample oil in a Ramsbottom furnace, indicating the deposit-forming tendencies of fuels for refinery processing guidelines. It uses a thermostatically controlled, cast-iron block furnace that reaches the standard 550°C (1022°F) test temperature rapidly and holds ±1°C stability across five coking bulbs, with microprocessor °C/°F switchable digital control and an automatic over-temperature cut-off. It conforms to ASTM D524, D6074; IP 14; ISO 4262; FTM 791-5002; and NF T 60-117.
Test Method:
Determines the ‘carbon residue’ left after evaporation and pyrolysis of a sample oil in the Ramsbottom furnace, providing an indication of the deposit forming tendencies of fuels and guidelines for the processing of refinery products.
Ramsbottom Carbon Residue Apparatus:
The Ramsbottom Carbon Residue Apparatus features microprocessor temperature control with a °C/°F switchable digital setpoint and display, and a thermostatically controlled coking furnace for five samples, housed in a heavily insulated stainless steel cabinet with a three-layer refractory top for heat retention. The cast-iron block type furnace reaches the standard test temperature of 550°C (1022°F) rapidly and controls with ±1°C stability; operator and equipment are protected by an over temperature control circuit which automatically interrupts power to the unit should block temperature exceed the programmed cut-off point. Communications software (RS232, etc.), ramp-to-set and other enhanced features are available as extra cost options.
