Real-Time - Portable Fuel Property Analyzer (PFPA)
The Portable Fuel Property Analyzer (PFPA) provides rapid fuel quality assessment using Near-Infrared Analysis combined with advanced Chemometric methods. Key fuel properties that dictate engine performance are determined in less than 10 seconds with only 2 mL of fuel sample.
The PFPA is calibrated at the factory using a diverse matrix of over +800 fuels from around the world. The results obtained with the PFPA are based on fuel property data obtained by ASTM methods and the analysis conforms to ASTM E1655; “Standard Practice for Infrared Multivariate Quantitative Analysis”. New fuel types can easily be added to the PFPA without modifying the hardware in any way.
In use, the fuel to be tested is placed in a disposable 2 mL container and sealed. The sealed vial is then placed in the PFPA and the results are displayed. There is no cleaning or flushing between running samples.
