Ignition Quality Tester (IQT™)

Fuel Specification Test Methods: ASTM D6890/EN 15195(IP 498)

Research and refinery laboratory ignition quality measurement

Coming Soon:  Details of new improved precision statement in D6890

 

• Direct measurement alternative to the cetane engine, as per ASTM fuel specification test methods D 6890 and IP 498
  
  
• Test method specified in Diesel Fuel Specifications: ASTM D975, EN590, ASTM D6751, ASTM D7467, CAN/CGSB-3.517-2000, CAN/CGSB-3.6-2000

• Accurately determines the ignition quality of diesel and alternative diesel fuels

• Sensitive to cetane improver additives; sensitive to small fuel quality variations

• Improved repeatability and reproducibility over the full DCN scale

• Automated test procedure,  quiet operation and easy to operate

• Short test time (less than 20 minutes)

• Small sample size (less than 100 mL)

• High level of reliability, rugged system, low operating and maintenance costs

• Easy access for maintenance

• Safety track record established over 12 years

• Has no problem testing any B100 diesel fuel

• Based on technology initially developed by the Southwest Research Institute, Texas
