TVET Ramsbottom Carbon Residue Apparatus

Determines the ‘carbon residue’ left after evaporation and pyrolysis of a sample oil in the Ramsbottom furnace, providing an indication of the deposit forming tendencies of fuels and guidelines for the processing of refinery products.

Ramsbottom Carbon Residue Apparatus:
Microprocessor temperature control with digital display and over temperature cut-off.
Thermostatically controlled coking furnace for five samples.
Heavily insulated stainless steel cabinet with three-layer refractory top provides excellent heat retention.
Cast-iron block type furnace reaches the standard test temperature of 550°C (1022°F) rapidly and controls with ±1°C stability.
Microprocessor temperature control has °C/°F switchable digital setpoint and display.
Operator and equipment are protected by an over temperature control circuit which automatically interrupts power to the unit should block temperature exceed the programmed cut-off point.
Communications software (RS232, etc.), ramp-to-set and other enhanced features are available as extra cost options.
