MINIVAP VPXpert Vapor Pressure Tester

Description

Vapor pressure tester for the automatic determination of the vapor pressure of gasoline, gasoline oxygenate blends and crude oil for all vapor pressure standards.
Incorporating the Grabner triple expansion method, the US EPA reference method for the determination of vapor pressure in the USA, the instrument is designed for significantly improved precision, reliability and performance. Made by experts for expert testing, the ergonomically designed analyzer offers unmatched versatility.
Highly precise determination of the vapor pressure of all fuels, gasoline, gasoline oxygenate blends, crude oil and chemical products.

Portable and robust: the display has been specifically designed for on-site applications.
Completely automatated samle analysis and measuring chamber cleaning.
Automatic sample introduction.
No maintenance is needed for the measuring chamber: piston lubrication is fully automated.
The innovative Sampling Pro technology minimizes the risk of cross contamination between different sample types.
The instrument incorporates features for V/L ratio determination (ASTM D5188), for crude oil (ASTM D6377) and R&D applications and volatility studies over an unprecedented temperature range (0-120°C).
Stand-alone analyzer: no need for an external pump.

- Automatic control of the temperature with Peltier: no need for exteral refrigeration systems.
- Rapid measurements: “One button usability” results in 5 minutes
- Intuitive user-interface for advanced reports
- Different access and security levels
