Ash Determination

ASTM D482 - ASTM D1119 - ASTM D3174 - ASTM D4422
IP 4 - IP 163
ISO 3987 - ISO 6245

ASTM D482 - IP 4 - ISO 6245 - Ash from Petroleum Products.
This test method covers the determination of ash in the range 0.001- 0.180 mass %, from distillate and residual fuels, gas turbine fuels, crude oils, lubricating oils, waxes, and other petroleum products, in which any ash-forming materials present are normally considered to be undesirable impurities or contaminants. The test method is limited to petroleum products which are free from added ash-forming additives, including certain phosphorus compounds.

ASTM D1119 - Standard Test Method for Percent Ash Content of Engine Coolants.
This test method covers the determination of ash content after ignition of commercial engine coolants and antirusts, as packaged or after use.

ASTM D3174 - Standard Test Method for Ash in the Analysis Sample of Coal and Coke from Coal.
This test method covers the determination of the inorganic residue as ash in the analysis sample of coal or coke as prepared in accordance with Practice D2013 or Practice D346.

ASTM D4422 - Ash in Analysis of Petroleum Coke.
This test method covers the determination of the ash content of petroleum coke.

Muffle Furnace for Ash Determination

• Insulation heat made in ceramics fibre in order to get a speed heating with a limited energetic consumption.
• Heating muffle unthreaded from the back, in an only cast of refractory cordieletic material to provide for thermal jolts.
• Resistors in Kanthal screened.
• Lateral opening door with pressure wedge and with a stop device for electric feeding when it opens, allowing the worker, during the loading and unloading of the muffle, to act with the utmost safety avoiding the contact with the hottest part.
• Natural draught posterior exhaust of the smokes.
• Control panel is positioned on the furnace bottom containing a digital visualized thermoregulator with overheating protection and safety switch for system protection.
