GRABNER INSTRUMENTS CCA-LVR

GRABNER INSTRUMENTS CCA-LVR VAPOR-LIQUID RATIO ASTM D 5188 STANDARD TEST METHOD FOR VAPOR-LIQUID RATIO TEMPERATURE DETERMINATION OF FUELS (EVACUATED CHAMBER AND PISTON BASED METHOD)TYPE: 300-000-00 MADE IN AUSTRIA. GRABNER MINIVOL LVR MEASURES V/L OF BLENDED GASOLINE AS REQUIRED BY ASTM D 4814 THE QUALITY OF NEARLY EVERY DROP OF GASOLINE SOLD IS TESTED TO ASTM METHOD D 4814 - THE "STANDARD SPECIFICATION FOR AUTOMOTIVE SPARK-IGNITION ENGINE FUEL." ONE OF THE QUALITY TESTS WITHIN THIS SPECIFICATION IS THE DETERMINATION OF A FUEL'S VAPOR-LIQUID RATIO (V/L) WHICH HELPS CONSUMERS AVOID VAPOR LOCK. ACCORDING TO THE STANDARD'S SPECIFICATION THE V/L RATIO FOR GASOLINE BLENDED WITH OXYGENATES SUCH AS ETHANOL MUST BE DETERMINED THROUGH DIRECT MEASUREMENT TECHNIQUES. THE MINIVOL LVR FROM GRABNER INSTRUMENTS IS AMONG THE MOST ACCURATE AND RELIABLE METHODS FOR MAKING THIS DIRECT MEASUREMENT. UNLIKE OTHER INSTRUMENTS THAT SIMPLY PROVIDE A NON-COMPLIANT ESTIMATE OF V/L THE MINIVOL LVR PROVIDES THE DIRECT MEASUREMENT REQUIRED. IT PERFORMS THESE MEASUREMENTS PER ASTM D 5188 - THE ONLY MERCURY-FREE DIRECT MEASUREMENT TECHNIQUE ACCEPTED FOR GASOLINE BLENDS CONTAINING ETHANOL AND OTHER OXYGENATES. THE COMPACT MINIVOL LVR CAN PRECISELY DETERMINE THE V/L RATIO OVER A WIDE TEMPERATURE RANGE (20° TO 80°C OR 68° TO 176°F) AND IS FULLY AUTOMATED FAST PORTABLE RUGGED AND EASY TO OPERATE. THE UNIT ALSO IS SUITED FOR A WIDE RANGE OF NON-VISCOUS LIQUIDS INCLUDING GASOLINE SOLVENTS AND OTHER HIGHLY VOLATILE COMPOUNDS AND PERFORMS AUTOMATICALLY USING ONLY A 5 ML SAMPLE PROVIDING RESULTS IN MINUTES. ALL THAT IS REQUIRED IS AN EXTERNAL VACUUM SOURCE.
