Koehler K60095 Heated Oil Test Centrifuge

Description

The Koehler K60095 is a heated oil test centrifuge used to determine the amount of water and sediment in crude oil and other petroleum products. The device is used in petroleum testing applications, such as for the ASTM D96 test method.

What the K60095 centrifuge tests

The K60095 is used for several laboratory tests on petroleum products:

Water and sediment content: Primarily for crude oil, fuel oil, and middle distillate fuels.
Precipitation number: Measures the amount of sludge-forming materials in used lubricating oils.
De-mulsibility characteristics: The ability of oil to separate from water.
Trace sediments: Detects very small quantities of sediment.
Insoluble in used lubricating oils: Measures the content of materials that are insoluble in the test solvent.

Product specifications

Capacity: Accommodates four 6-inch conical ASTM centrifuge tubes.
Heating: Features an integrated tube holder and pre-heater.
Voltage: The K60095 model runs on 220-240V power, while the K60005 model uses 115V.
Portability: The benchtop unit is portable, allowing it to be used in different laboratory settings.

About the manufacturer
The K60095 is manufactured by Koehler Instrument Company (often misspelled as “Kohler”), a company that specializes in providing quality testing instrumentation for petroleum and other products

Water and Sediment Determination in Crude Oil by Centrifuge
