Measuring Cloud Point Principle
The sample is cooled down according to the methods while the clouds appearance is observed on the silver bottom of the test jar by means of an optical sensor. The measurement is done by reflection on the silver bottom of the test jar via a fast light detector. The signal from light detector is traded by the LabLink software. The dynamic measurement is performed regardless of the sample’s colour.
Measuring Cloud Point Devices
Light pulsed emission on I.R spectrum through a coaxial fibber optic.
