Introduction

Distillation testing is one of the most important analytical methods used to evaluate the volatility and boiling range distribution of fuels and petroleum products. The distillation curve provides key information about fuel composition, evaporation behavior, and product quality.

This ASTM D86 Oil Distillation Tester is suitable for testing gasoline, aviation gasoline, jet fuel, naphtha, diesel fuel, special boiling point solvents, distillate fuels, and industrial volatile organic liquids.

The automatic petroleum distillation analyzer integrates embedded computer control, intelligent temperature regulation, automatic distillation rate control, and real-time data acquisition, enabling laboratories to perform accurate and repeatable distillation tests while reducing manual intervention.

It is widely used in petroleum laboratories, refineries, fuel quality control laboratories, research institutions, and petrochemical testing facilities.
