Two New Instruments
For Two New Test Methods
From Seta Analytics

Avcount_lo.jpg (12012 bytes) Seta Analytics AvCount SA1000-0 

DEF STAN 91-91, Issue 6 released 9th April 2008

Important and significant changes have been included in the latest revision of DEFSTAN 91-91 (Issue 6) with the introduction of a new laser based Particle Count test for aviation fuels (IP 565). The new test will replace the traditional Millipore test (IP423/ ASTM D5452) which is due to be phased out by next year.  The latest DEFSTAN revision which was has just been published states: 

“The implementation date for particle counting is 30th June 2009, but where possible, to help the data collection process, the results should be reported before that date. It is the Specification Authorities intention to replace IP423 with IP565 at the earliest opportunity”.

IP 565 - “Determination of the level of cleanliness of aviation turbine fuels – portable automatic particle counter method”

 The new laser test is made using the Seta ‘AvCount’ SA1000-0, a fully automatic laser particle counter.  AvCount is an easy to use, rugged and portable instrument specifically designed for testing the particulate content of fuel and lubricants including all aviation turbine and gasoline fuels. It incorporates the latest innovative measuring technology to provide a rapid test result and a very low-maintenance test instrument. 

The new instrument is designed for use in the laboratory or at relevant fuel distribution locations (i.e.: airport).  ‘AvCount’ features a high precision laser measurement system capable of identifying particle sizes from 4 μm to >70 μm. The measurement sequence runs automatically, with a complete test sequence in under 4 minutes, using only 80ml of sample. Results are displayed in real time on the LCD display and printed on the integral printer. Test results saved to memory can trend sample results, or can be downloaded to a PC for further detailed analysis using Statistical Quality Control (SQC) for quality traceability. 

The introduction of ‘AvCount’ now allows fuel suppliers to provide customers with a more comprehensive and reliable ‘fuel cleanliness’ report whilst significantly reducing the effort needed for testing. Maintenance personnel can more easily identify and isolate any potential problem in fuel filter and fuel tank systems, supporting reduced maintenance costs and downtime. In fact all those associated with the quality and cleanliness of aviation fuel can now benefit from a far superior means of ensuring fast and precise particulate analysis.

 h2sAnalyser.jpg (22119 bytes) H2S Analyzer

An advanced technology for the rapid measurement of H2S in liquid petroleum products

AVAILABLE AUGUST 2008

The H2S Analyzer was developed with Lloyd’s Register Group FOBAS Services and a major international oil company to provide users with a user friendly, plug & go instrument. Total H2S is measured by heating and purging which ensures and maximizes the removal of H2S from Liquid phase to Vapor phase. The instrument offers a cost effective solution for H2S measurement - no expensive or toxic chemicals need to be purchased or handled and an expert chemist is not required.

The H2S Analyser is an excellent tool for Health and Safety, and is ideal for both product treatment remediation studies for off spec product and repeat sample measurement.
