Avcount2 Laser Based Particle Counter (SA1000-2)IP 565; ASTM D7619; Defence Standard (DEF STAN) 91-091 & 91-86

ASTM D975; ASTM D6786, ASTM D7647, ISO 4406 (1991 & 1999), GOST 17216, NAS 1638, SAE AS4059E, SAE A6D, SAE 749D, GB 5930, GJB 420-1987, GJB 420-A-1996, GJB 420B-2006

AvCount2 is a laser based particle analyser used for determining the particle concentration in liquid fuels and oils. It can be used throughout distribution networks and in the laboratory, in fact anywhere that requires accurate determination of particle distribution in a liquid sample. Whether checking the quality of fuel, efficacy of filter systems or condition of in-service lubricants, AvCount2 provides fast and precise results.

AvCount uses the light emitted by a laser to illuminate a cell through which the sample is passed. Each particle present in the sample casts a shadow onto the sensor within the cell, and as the shadow passes across the sensor the voltage output of the sensor drops. The voltage drop of the cell is proportional to the particle size and AvCount2 calculates the size of the particle based on this principle.

Results are displayed in real time and are simultaneously printed out on the integral printer. The test methods embedded in AvCount2 cover a range of fuels, lubricating oils and hydraulic fluids and can be edited to create custom test profiles. Versatile connectivity and memory management allow results to be accessed, printed out or downloaded to a USB stick.

AvCount2 supports dual calibration tables, allowing users to select tests using an ISO 11171 calibration traceable to NIST SRM 2806b or to a secondary working standard traceable to the last certified values of NIST SRM 2806a.

FIJI FAME in Jet Instrument (SA5000-2)ASTM D1655; Defence Standard 91-091

IP 583; ASTM D7797 Determination of the fatty acid methyl esters (FAME) content of aviation turbine fuel (AVTUR) by Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy - Rapid screening method

• All FAME types from C8 to C22 including Coconut, Mustard, Palm, Rapeseed, Sunflower oil, Soya, Jatropha

• Analysis time 20 minutes

• Certified range 10–150 mg/kg FAME in AVTUR

• Measuring range 0-1000 mg/kg in AVTUR

• Certified range 20ppm to 20% in Middle Distillates

• Laboratory and field instrument

• Fully automatic

• Suitable for untrained operators

• No cleaning solvents required

• No pre-sample preparation required

• 50 ml sample volume

The patented Fame In Jet Instrument (FIJI) has been developed to offer the industry a rapid and easy check on Parts Per Million (ppm or mg/kg) levels of FAME in Aviation fuel using test method IP 583 and ASTM D7797.

FIJI uniquely utilises state of the art FTIR (Fourier Transform Infra-Red Spectroscopy) technology and a patented sample preparation system which allows FAME detection accuracy down to the 10mg/kg level.

FIJI can be used as a field or lab based screening tool to give a quick indication of possible FAME contamination that may then necessitate further investigations. The instrument can be used to prevent expensive testing and avoid costly delays of fuel release.

The FIJI instrument is robust, extremely simple to use and is fully automatic so no specialist operator training is involved. Tests require less than 50ml of sample and typically take under 20 minutes. Results are presented in mg/kg units together with an optional traffic light system for flagging FAME contamination levels of the fuel.

By comparison current analytical tests can take many hours, require complex equipment and demand high skill levels.

Using a unique sample preparation module the sample is pumped at a controlled flow rate though a proprietary disposable cartridge. The sample components are spectrally analysed by the FTIR and a result is displayed in mg/kg and a graphical spectrum is also shown.

The system is self-cleaning so no solvents are required. After each test the cartridge is simply and easily replaced and the instrument is immediately ready for the next sample.

Jet Fuel Analysis

WSI Water Separation Instrument (SA9000-0)ASTM D8073

• Substantial cost saving per test

• Fully automated sample handling

• Measures 50 to 100 WSI

• 250ml sample volume

• Simple operation for non-chemists

• Patented Ultra Sonic Mixer

• 10 minute test duration

• Sonic mixing sequences providing consistent water droplet size and stable emulsion

• Featuring an API/EI 1581 5th edition filter material

• High resolution optical water detector measuring to <1ppm water concentration

• USB data output

The WSI is used in the aviation sector to provide an indication of the presence of surfactants in aviation fuel. Surfactants, or surface active agents, are not normally present in aviation fuel, but can be picked up during transportation in pipelines, ships or storage, or through misadditization. Surfactants in the fuel affect the ability of filters in the distribution network to remove entrained water through coalescence.

The WSI is a small fully automated laboratory instrument which reduces the chance of error in this critical aviation fuel test. Simple touch screen operation enables tests to be started quickly and easily. Using a disposable filter cartridge, and a patented specific dye detector, the WSI dynamically measures the sample under test for its ability to separate water. Sample preparation is automatic and uses patented sonic mixing technology to emulsify the sample, which enables a uniform water/fuel mixture every time. Results are calculated from the detector reading and displayed on screen as the Water Separation Index (WSI). A high WSI, such as 100, indicates the sample coalesces easily and is relatively free of surfactants.

WSI Filter cartridges use API/EI 1581 5th edition filter material which is less sensitive to weak surfactants and is less affected by SDA, eliminating uncertainty over static dissipater additives, but is responsive to the presence of ester based additives.

The instrument features fully automated sample handling and therefore requires minimal operator time with just 3 simple steps to start a test. To operate the instrument, a sample is first poured into the test beaker and a filter cartridge fitted. Next, using the user friendly touch screen the sample information is entered before pressing start to commence the test.

Once the test is underway the sample is purged through the instrument, then a specific amount of dyed water is added via the accurate microliter pump. The ultrasonic mixer emulsifies the fuel/water mixture according to a defined routine to make an emulsified sample. The emulsified sample is passed to the detector, the water content is checked, and then passed through the filter cartridge to the detection system. If the water in the emulsion is successfully removed (good water separation) by the filter cartridge then the aviation fuel is deemed to be free from surfactants and a high value is reported (WSI 97 to 100). If water passes through the filter (poor separation), it is measured by the detector, and a lower WSI number is reported, indicating a fuel which may contain surfactants.

Large capacity memory allows storage of test profiles, operator names, test methods and in excess of 2000 results.

Unique test profiles enable the test to be set up and repeated quickly without re-entering the same information. For example, if numerous ‘jet’ samples with similar expected flash points are being tested then a test profile can be set up and stored to memory so the user can select this option without the need to program the test parameters.

Operation is simple, just a single raising or lowering action when loading or removing the test cup. The lid and shutter are integral to a hinged pod and fitted with a fire detection probe, fire extinguishing manifold, ignitor, flash detector and temperature probe. The stirrer drive, shutter actuator and ignitor dipping mechanism are also self contained within the pod module.

A unique alignment design ensures that the lid and cup locate perfectly every time.

The ignition source is a purpose-designed extended life hot wire, a gas ignition option is also included. The sample temperature probe is a class A PRT and flash detection is by a thermocouple.

An optional, unique ‘SafeFlash’ fire extinguishing system (35002-0) is available which automatically and immediately activates an extinguisher in the event of excess flame or fire around the test cup. If discharged the screen prompts the user to re-activate the extinguisher by simply replacing the integral inert gas canister. Canisters remain sealed inside the instrument until pierced by the actuator mechanism.

Additional safety features include PRT checks, safety dip before starting, over-temperature cut out, gas flame relight and gas shut off.

Rapid turnaround between tests is achieved using a high capacity cooling fan and optimised air flow.

A password protected ‘calibration’ mode quickly allows verification of instrument performance (a suitable range of traceable verification and calibration materials are available from Seta).

Cleaning & maintenance procedures are simple. The instrument’s lid and shutter can be cleaned in-situ to minimise down time between tests and a quick release mechanism allows easy access to the lid and shutter for maintenance.
