Maven Temperature Data Acquisition System is specifically designed to assist the operator in the performance of a number of popular manual tests for petroleum products.
The tests able to be performed with the assistance of Maven are cloud point, pour point, freeze point, flash point, and distillation. It fully conforms to the ASTM D2500, D97, D2386, D92, D93, and D86 test methods, receptively. Any of these tests (mix or match) can be performed simultaneously and independently of each other (up to 4).
Maven accepts up to 4 Pt-100 RTD temperature probes that replace the currently used thermometers. Calibration of these probes is facilitated with the internal firmware.
When prompted by Maven, the operator makes the needed visual observation for any of the test events (such as for cloud, for pour, for flash, for freezing, or for distillation volume). The operator responds by the pressing of a key to indicate the absence of the end point or to indicate the end point itself. A screen displays the test temperature, what action is required, the results, etc.
Maven’s the key benefits are:
Improvement of data precision since the automated data acquisition does not rely on the operator’s readings or recording of the temperature.
Fully traceable recording of data reduces lost data or operator errors.
Increased efficiency allowing operator to monitor more tests than now practical.
Guides the operator as to the next temperature event such that even new operators can perform the respective tests with less training.
Results are printed at end of test (printer is an option).
Any combination of up to 4 test methods, independent of each other and can be performed simultaneously.
The data output may also be directed to a PC (with an optional software package) allowing the data to be stored in the lab’s LIMMS or on the hard drive for further statistical analysis by a spread sheet.
Maven-D is designed for monitoring and data capture for 4 manual distillations by ASTM D86 test.
Maven and Maven-D are light (15 lbs) and small units (14 x 12 x 7 inches high), portable for easy movement between different test apparatus within a laboratory.
Specifications are subject to change without notice. |
