Grabner Instruments - AMETEK products

MINIVAP VP Vision is a highly versatile portable vapor pressure tester that features best-in-class precision and a pressure range of 0-2000 kPa (290 psi). It is the first analyzer that demonstrates excellence in engineering by earning certificates for robustness and durability. Based on Grabner´s cutting-edge Cockpit™ technology, the instrument offers unmatched networking capabilities and enables worldwide access to analyzers.

The GRABNER INSTRUMENTS` Crude Oil Package is a comprehensive solution for the transport and measurement of the vapor pressure of crude oil according to ASTM D6377 (Expansion Method). The unique Floating Piston Cylinder allows safe sample transfer of “live crude oils” according to ASTM D3700 and eliminates the risk of evaporation of light hydrocarbon ends during transport. The Grabner Instruments crude oil package is also strictly in accordance with the Russian standard GOST 52340.

MINIVAP ON-LINE is a process monitoring analyzer for the determination of the vapor pressure of gasoline, crude oil, LPG and NPG. Also, the vapor-liquid ratio (LVR) of gasoline can be measured. The measuring principle is identical to the worldwide used laboratory instruments MINIVAP and therefore the MINIVAP ON-LINE produces equivalent results. Up to 2 different sample streams can be connected to one single analyzer. This process vapor pressure tester fully complies to the industry relevant ASTM standards for gasoline (ASTM D6378), crude oil (D6377) and LPG (D6897).

AS Vision (ASV) is an innovative autosampler that allows rapid and continuous testing of up to 12 samples, with a single press of the play button on MINIVAP VP Vision analyzers. It was developed to achieve the highest sample throughput for the most demanding vapor pressure methods.

The flash point tester MINIFLASH FP Vision is uniquely designed to determine the flash points of liquids and solids. The analyzer uses Grabner flash point detection method, which is triggered by an energy-controlled electric arc and measures instantaneous pressure increase inside a closed chamber. By heating the test chamber from the top, the analyzer prevents condensation of high volatile compounds and guarantees improved test results. MINIFLASH FP Vision continuously closed cup design and small sample volume of only 1-2 ml offer maximum safety. No offensive fumes are released in the testing area and little to no sample waste is registered when performing a flash point test. The fast thermoelectric cooling at the end of each flash point test plus the easy handling of the instrument also save expensive labor time.

The MINIFLASH FPA Vision Autosampler is the latest addition to the Vision-series product line, an automated accessory specifically developed for use with the MINIFLASH FP Vision analyzer. (Photo shows FP Vision and Autosampler). The modular design offers the flexibility to expand with an autosampler anytime. MINIFLASH FPA Vision autosampler can be used interchangeably with all FP Vision Series analyzers. The MINIFLASH FPA Vision comes equipped with cabinet cooling capabilities, allowing users to connect an external liquid cooling line. Once connected, the sample cabinet temperature can be controlled, ensuring that the samples are not exposed to elevated operational temperatures. Additionally, the MINIFLASH FPA Vision provides a sample position increase of 50%, which in turn means less-frequent carousel changes and longer uninterrupted runtimes. This ultimately leads to more samples processed per day without a need for more resources, offering more profitability.
