ASTM D1500 - Petroleum Colorimeter

ASTM D1500 – Petroleum Colorimeter

The Koehler K13290 Petroleum Colorimeter is a single-scale, 3-field visual comparator used to grade and compare the color of petroleum oils and waxes according to ASTM D1500 specifications

• ASTM D1500 Color Grading: It grades petroleum products that have an ASTM color of 0.5 or darker, including:
• Lubricating oils
• Heating oils
• Diesel fuel oils
• Waxes and similar liquid petroleum products
• Simultaneous 3-Field Viewing: It views the sample container alongside two consecutive colored glass standards simultaneously through an optical prism, helping the operator find an exact or closest color match.
• Tolerance Checking: It can be preset to two limiting colors to quickly check if a sample’s color falls within an acceptable specification range

Koehler K13290 / VWR 10118-852

Test Method
The ASTM color of petroleum products applies to products having an ASTM color of 0.5 or darker, including lubricating oils, heating oils and diesel fuel oils. (For products having an ASTM color lighter than 0.5, use the Saybolt Chromometer.) To determine ASTM color, the sample is compared against standard color discs in the Petroleum Colorimeter.

Description
Single scale, three-field petroleum comparator designed for visual color grading by direct comparison between the sample and colored glass filters housed in test discs conforming to the chromaticity coordinates of ASTM D1500. The sample and two consecutive glasses on the color scale are viewed simultaneously, making it easier to achieve the optimum color match. For rapid color grading within predetermined color limits, the glass standards can be set to the two limiting colors so that it is easy to check that the sample is within tolerance. The tungsten halogen light source is color corrected to CIE Standard Illuminant C, giving constant lighting conditions for color grading, regardless of ambient lighting. A prism brings the three fields together to aid color grading.
