Pour Point – Cloud Point – Freeze Point
ASTM D5949 – ASTM D5773 – ASTM D5972

Phase Technology 70X series analyzers meet and comply with ASTM International standards measuring pour, cloud and freeze point: ASTM D5949, ASTM D5773 and ASTM D5972.

The PSA-70X is the world’s only analyzer that performs pour, cloud and freeze point in one unit. And, it’s the only analyzer that has a factual, valid ASTM method for all three methods. (Warning: some manufacturers claim that their “no flow point” method “correlates” to pour point, but ASTM has not found “no flow point” to be equivalent to pour point methods.)

Features & Benefits

• Best measured precision of any automatic or manual method
• Fastest speed of any automatic or manual method: test results in just 8-20 minutes
• Capable of any user programmable resolution to 0.1°C
• Wide range of temperatures from -80°C to +50°C
• Unsurpassed detection of contamination in jet fuels
• Rapid cooling and quick heating of samples
• Compact design – easy to move around your lab or fit into areas with little space
• Full-color, touch-sensitive, 10.4” high resolution LCD touch screen
• Test progress and results visible on real time digital and graphical displays
• Quick set up time, intuitive and easy to understand on-screen prompts
• Test uses small sample volume
• Completely self-contained system: no need for external coolant
• Quiet, energy efficient and environmentally friendly (no toxic coolant vapors)
• Customizable reporting – test history, plot data and self-diagnostics can be displayed on-screen, printed, or transferred to computer for statistical analysis, presentations, email sharing, archival storage

And these new value-added features developed to increase workflow optimization:

• "Favorites" Test Run Presets
  Frequently-used test settings can now be stored in the analyzer for quick access. Favorites can be created, organized, sorted or deleted as you desire. With the single push of a button, lab operators can efficiently perform tests in significantly less time.
• Ethernet-Ready
  Ethernet port available for connecting to LIMS or internal computer network
• USB Drive Connectivity
  Provides quick export of analyzer data to a portable USB flash drive. USB capability also makes remote diagnostics and troubleshooting easier. Easily connect other devices like printers, barcode scanners and keyboard
• Buzzer Alarm Alert
  At the user’s discretion, the analyzer can be set to beep to indicate warnings, alarms and prompts
  • when a test run is completed
  • prompt the user to load a black oil or crude oil sample
  • when the cloud point test finishes and it is switching
    to the pour point test
  • system overheat or other temperature anomalies
  • change dryer desiccant prompt
• Large Format Results Screen
  Optional pop-up window displays test results in larger, easier-to-read font

Applications

Other customized applications for 70X analyzers include uses in the food industry for titer, cloud and melting points, winterization, nucleation and cold properties of oils and fats.

Additionally, the 70X can be configured to test surfactants found in household detergents, personal care products, industrial cleaners; as well as hair gels and polymers.

Specifications

Configuration & Options

Phase Technology 70X series analyzers give you complete flexibility – choose the test functions you need for a customized solution. Available configurations include:

Additional options are available depending on your specific needs.

Phase Technology calibrates the 70X analyzer to a set of ASTM standard reference samples. These ASTM samples are chosen because of their widely tested and known precision. Non-standard samples that are unique to a particular location or application can be used at the customer’s request.
