Total Sediment Tester AZA1327

The Total Sediment in Residual Fuels Tester (Model: AZA1327) from AZA Lab is a state-of-the-art laboratory instrument designed for the precise determination of total sediment content in distillate and residual fuel oils. Developed in accordance with ASTM D4870 Standard Test Method, this instrument ensures highly accurate, reliable, and reproducible measurements for fuel quality control, refining, and research applications.

The AZA1327 provides a comprehensive solution for evaluating fuel cleanliness and stability, measuring total sediment content up to 0.40% m/m in distillate fuel oils containing residual components and up to 0.50% m/m in residual fuel oils with a maximum viscosity of 55 cSt at 100°C. By incorporating dual test stations, precise vacuum control, and automated heating systems, this tester allows laboratories to maximize testing efficiency while maintaining compliance with international standards.
