PT-HK-FTIR-650 conforms to ASTM D975 Standard Specification for Diesel Fuel Oils and ASTM D7371 Standard Test Method for Determination of Biodiesel (Fatty AcidMethyl Esters) Content in Diesel Fuel Oil Using Mid Infrared Spectroscopy(FT-IR-ATR-PLS Method).
Theincreasing importance of sustainability in energy production has led to aglobal commitment to the use of fuels derived from renewable biologicalsources, such as biodiesel produced from plant crops. Biodiesel consists offatty acid methyl esters (FAME) and is produced in a transesterificationreaction as depicted in figure 1. A range of feedstocks are used globally,including apeseed, soy, sunflower, palm and jatropha.
Features
1. The design integrates main components toan optical bench machined from a cast aluminuim. Highly stable and no need foradjustment, removing troubles of maintenance of optical path
2. Precision machinery ensures highrepeatability of every scanning. Advanced design concept is adopted in bothoptical path and every part
3. The system’s corner cube optics provideseasy operation without requiring complicated electronics and additional movingparts. In addition, many components of the spectrometer are user replaceablewhich saves time over the lifetime of the instrument
4. Internal dynamic collimation system andmovable mirror driving system keep the interferometer at optimum situation.Voice-coil driver and precision slide improves the ablity of working in severeconditions
5. The spectrometer includes a container ofdesiccant that protects the beamsplitter and other optical components frommoisture damage.
