Description
Fully Automated ASTM D86 Distillation Process
The AZA1287 manages the entire ASTM D86 distillation workflow automatically, from controlled sample heating to condensation, receiver monitoring, and final residue calculation. Once the test is initiated via the touchscreen interface, the analyzer executes each step with precise control and real-time monitoring.
A high-resolution digital temperature sensor continuously measures vapor and flask temperatures up to 400°C, while an optical/laser-based receiver detection system tracks recovered volume in real time. The system automatically calculates and displays:
-
Initial Boiling Point (IBP)
-
Final Boiling Point (FBP)
-
Percent recovered
-
Percent residue
-
Percent loss
-
Full temperature–volume distillation curve
All data is logged automatically, ensuring traceability and compliance with laboratory and regulatory requirements.
Intelligent Control & User Interface
The analyzer features an 8-inch capacitive touchscreen with intuitive menus that guide the operator through test setup, method selection, and result review. Pre-programmed ASTM D86 methods (Groups 0–4) allow rapid configuration for different fuel types, while custom method profiles can be created and stored for specialized applications.
The user interface displays live distillation curves, test status, alarms, and historical data, enabling operators to monitor performance in real time without manual recording.
