Dist‑86S Semi‑Automated Distillation Analyzer AZA1283

The AZA1283 Dist-86S Semi-Automated Distillation Analyzer from AZA Lab is a robust, reliable, and precision-engineered instrument designed for determining the distillation characteristics of petroleum products and volatile organic liquids in accordance with ASTM D86 and equivalent international standards.

Combining operator control with intelligent automation, the AZA1283 is ideally suited for refineries, petrochemical laboratories, quality control facilities, research institutions, and regulatory testing laboratories that require accurate, repeatable, and standards-compliant distillation analysis without the complexity of fully automated systems.

Description

Description

Semi-Automated ASTM D86 Distillation Testing

The AZA1283 allows operators to manually manage critical procedural steps while benefiting from automated monitoring of temperature, distillation rate, and recovered volume. This hybrid approach provides enhanced flexibility, precise control, and consistent repeatability—making it particularly suitable for high-throughput laboratory environments.

An optical volume detection system continuously monitors liquid recovery, while high-accuracy temperature sensors track vapor and liquid temperatures in real time. Automated heater cut-off and alarm functions help prevent over-distillation and operator error, ensuring safe and compliant operation.
