Performance Distillation Solutions products

The PDS LabTech Model 87 is an advanced laboratory instrument designed for accurately determining the melting point of petroleum, paraffin, and scale waxes using the cooling technique as per the ASTM D87 Test Method. This fully automated system integrates calibrated traceable RTD probes to eliminate the traditional mercury thermometers, allowing dual test cells within a compact, removable bath. Once the sample melts, the user interacts with a straightforward touchscreen GUI which displays test status visually and audibly. The results can be exported via USB 3.0 ports. Enhanced with a wireless keyboard, the device minimizes operator variability, boosting throughput and accuracy. Critical features include an Air/Water Bath RTD Temperature Sensor and a Borosilicate Glass Sample Vial with specific dimensions, ensuring precision and safety in operations. It accommodates ambient temperatures ranging from 15 °C to 30 °C and features a water bath sight gauge for level checks, exemplifying its operational proficiency and safety compliance.
