AvCount2 (SA1000-2)
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, filter systems or 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. Particles present in the sample cast a shadow onto the sensor
within the cell, and as the particle passes across the cell 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.

FIJI (SA5000-2)
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.

The Setaflash Series 8 ActiveCool is an automated closed cup flash point tester
with a temperature range of 10 to 130C (50 to 266F) with no external cooling
required. When connected to a suitable chilled water supply, the range is extended
down to -20C (-4F).
There are two modes of operation; Flash / No Flash and Ramp. The ramp mode
increases the sample temperature at a rate of 2C/min and automatically dips
the ignitor every 1C up to 100C (every 2C above 100C), until either a flash is
detected or the end of test temperature is reached.

The Setaflash Series 3 Closed Cup Flash Point Tester is an easy to use instrument
that can complete a flash/no-flash test in less than two minutes and in
many cases in 60 seconds, or determine the flash point of a sample within a
temperature range of 10C to 130C (-50 to 266F).

The Seta Multiflash Universal Base can be used with either an Abel or Tag module
to conform precisely to reference test methods.
34000-0 + 34200-0
Multiflash comprises a water/air bath, sample cup and lid, temperature probes,
flash detector, and a DIPS pod (Dipping, Ignition, Pilot, Stirrer) containing the
ignitor dipping mechanism with co-axial gas/electric ignitor, and a stirrer (Abel).
Interchanging the test module is straightforward and completed in just a few
minutes, the base unit recognises that the Abel or Tag module is connected and
configures standard test parameters.

The Seta PM-93 is a fully automated Pensky-Martens Closed Cup Flash Point
Tester which combines strict method conformance with state of the art
control technology and safety systems to provide the next generation of
automated precision flash point instruments.
Seta PM-93 provides rapid sample testing using integral heating and
forced air sample cooling systems. An intuitive user menu and 8.4
(215mm) SVGA colour touch screen operation provide unrivalled
ease of use with real time display of test progress. 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.

The Seta D2 Hand Held Conductivity Meter (D2 JF-1A-HH model) meets the
requirements of ASTM D2624. It provides an accurate and rapid conductivity
measurement of distillate fuels; and is specifically designed for testing low conductivity
fluids such as such as aviation kerosene, ULSD, home heating fuel, Naphtha, and
printing ink.
The Meter can measure fuel electrical conductivities between 0 and 2000
picosiemens/meter (pS/m), although it is optimised and normally used in the 0 to 500
pS/m range.
