This test method covers determining the gum content of aviation fuels, motor gasoline, or other volatile distillates in their finished form (including those containing alcohol and ether-type oxygenates and deposit control additives) at the time of the test.
LT/EB-241000/M:
Gum Content in Fuels by Jet Evaporation Air and Steam:
• Compact structure painted with anti-acid epoxy products.
• Rectangular aluminum metal block bath deeply coated and equipped with 8 × removable adapters.
• 2 × dedicated inlet lines: Air inlet with an in-line flowmeter for monitoring the instant air flow and regulation ball valve; Steam inlet with distribution manifold and ball valve for regulating the flow; Superheater for steam heating.
• 8 × jets (one for each test place) fitted with conical adapters with 500 to 600-micron screens.
• Temperature is controlled by a digital thermoregulator PID with an overtemperature alarm and probe PT100 A class, which has a resolution of 0.1 °C and precision of 0.5 °C.
• Safety manual thermostat for overheating prevention with warning lamp.
