Carbon residue testing is a critical quality control parameter used to evaluate the thermal stability, combustion behavior, and deposit-forming tendency of lubricating oils, heavy fuels, and residual petroleum products. The AZA1320 delivers accurate, consistent, and repeatable results, making it an essential tool for petroleum laboratories, refineries, fuel testing centers, and research facilities.

Description

Description

Purpose of Conradson Carbon Residue Testing

The Conradson Carbon Residue (CCR) test measures the amount of carbonaceous residue left after the controlled evaporation and pyrolysis of a petroleum sample. This value is widely used to:

  • Assess fuel and lubricant quality

  • Predict coke-forming tendencies

  • Evaluate thermal decomposition behavior

  • Support refinery process control and product classification

The electric furnace method ensures uniform heating, improved repeatability, and safer operation compared to traditional flame-based approaches.


Design & Operational Efficiency

The AZA1320 features a compact, integrated desktop design, combining the heating furnace and temperature controller into a single, space-saving unit. This configuration improves operational convenience while maintaining excellent thermal performance.

Key operational advantages include:

  • High-temperature electric furnace capable of reaching 520°C

  • Digital temperature controller with ±5°C accuracy

  • Four-sample testing capacity, enabling higher throughput and reduced testing time

  • Simple, intuitive operation suitable for routine laboratory workflows


High-Precision Temperature Control

Accurate temperature control is essential for reliable carbon residue determination. The AZA1320 uses a stable electric furnace heating system with a digitally controlled temperature regulator, ensuring:

  • Uniform heat distribution

  • Stable operating temperatures

  • Excellent repeatability between test runs

This precision supports dependable results even during continuous laboratory operation.
