Two New Instruments
For Two New Test Methods
From Seta Analytics

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.

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.
