Model 1143 - Micro Filter Analyzer- Brochure

This test method is intended for use in the laboratory or field in evaluating distillate fuel cleanliness.  A change in filtration performance after storage, pretreatment, or commingling can be indicative of changes in fuel condition. Causes of poor filterability in industrial/refinery filters include fuel degradation products, contaminants and particulates picked up during storage or transfer, incompatibility of commingled fuels, or interaction of the fuel with the filter media. Any of these could correlate with orifice or filter plugging, or both.
