Two spectrophotometric colorimeters for objective colour analysis of oils, chemicals, fuels and other transparent products. The PFX880 instruments are rugged colorimeters with fabricated steel housings, which function equally as QC instruments within the laboratory or on 24-hour operation in a production environment. An integrated heater unit is available as a factory fitted option for melting solid samples such as fats and waxes and preventing them from solidifying in the cell. Each instrument features a long sample chamber for cells up to 153 mm (6”) path length, ensuring precise colour measurement even with unsaturated samples such as solvents and white oils. The accuracy and repeatability of the colour data provided by these colorimeters ensures consistency in colour measurement, giving processors the confidence needed to make important decisions regarding raw materials and refining operations.
The PFX880/L colorimeter expresses colour in terms of Lovibond® units, a traditional colour scale that is widely used for oils and chemicals.
The PFX880/P petrochemical colorimeter is designed to conform to the requirements of ASTM D 6045, which covers the automatic determination of both Saybolt and ASTM Colour of a wide range of petroleum products. On each instrument results can also be displayed in terms of CIE values and spectral data.
