K10500 Oxidation Pressure Vessel

Test Method
Provides an indication of the tendency of gasoline and aviation fuels to form gum in storage. The sample is oxidized inside a stainless steel pressure vessel initially charged with oxygen at 100psi (689kPa) and heated in a bath. The amount of time required for a specified drop in pressure (gasoline) or the amount of gum and precipitate formed after a specific aging period (aviation fuels) is determined.

Features and Benefits
• Conforms to ASTM D525, D873, ISO 7536 and related specifications

• Oxidation pressure vessel incorporates burst disk assembly

• Oxidata™ Pressure Measurement System

• Available in two, four, or six-unit configurations

• Choice of water or solid block heating baths

K10500 Oxidation Pressure Vessel
Precision machined stainless steel pressure vessel includes threaded body; lid; stem with filler rod and mounting flange; needle valve for purging, pressurizing and exhausting pressure vessel with oxygen; and burst disk assembly. Pressure vessel interior and inside of stem have a high polish to facilitate cleaning and prevent corrosion. Stainless steel burst disk ruptures at 223psi (1537kPa) to prevent unsafe pressure build-up inside pressure vessel. Octagonal sections on the pressure vessel and lid permit tight closure with wrench. Includes buna-N gaskets. Can also be used as a pressure vessel in ASTM D5304 “Standard Test Method for Assessing Distillate Fuel Storage Stability by Oxygen Overpressure”.

Specifications
Conforms to the specifications of: ASTM D525, D873; IP 40, IP 138; ISO 7536; DIN 51780, 51799; FTM 791-3352, 791-3354; NF M 07-012, 07-013
