Description

Description

Precision Automated Distillation Analyzer (AZA 1281) is a cutting-edge instrument engineered for high-accuracy determination of the distillation characteristics of petroleum products. Built to conform strictly to ASTM D86, ISO 3405, IP 123, and other international standards, this fully automated analyzer is an essential tool for petrochemical labs, quality control centers, and refineries.Precision Automated Distillation Analyzer, ASTM D86 Analyzer, Petroleum Distillation Tester.

The unit automates the entire distillation process — from heating to end-point detection — minimizing human intervention while maximizing consistency and reproducibility. Its built-in sensors and real-time digital display allow continuous monitoring of key parameters such as vapor temperature, recovered volume, and distillation rate.

With AZA 1281, lab technicians can conduct distillation tests on gasoline, kerosene, diesel, and other petroleum-based liquids with high repeatability and minimal operator error.Precision Automated Distillation Analyzer, ASTM D86 Analyzer, Petroleum Distillation Tester.

Q2: Is the analyzer suitable for testing diesel and kerosene?
Yes, AZA 1281 can be used for various petroleum products including gasoline, kerosene, naphtha, and diesel.

Q3: Can it store past test results?
Yes, it comes with internal memory and USB export capability for archiving results and creating reports.

Q4: How long does a standard distillation cycle take?
A full test typically takes 30 to 45 minutes, depending on the sample and selected distillation curve.

Q5: Does it require frequent calibration?
For regulated labs, monthly calibration is recommended using certified standards, although the system remains stable over long durations.
