To investigate the combustion parameters (such as Heat Release Rate, Cylinder Pressure vs θ, Ignition Delay, Mass of Fuel Burnt, etc.), performance and emission traits of a diesel engine for any types of liquid fuels (as per SAE Std.).
The determination of the degree of corrosiveness of petroleum products that exhibit a vapor pressure up to 124 kPa (37.8 °C). ASTM D130 std. is adopted to determine the degree of corrosiveness for any fuels (viz., aviation gasoline, aviation turbine fuel, kerosene, diesel fuel, lubricant oils and other hydrocarbon fractions) falling within the vapor pressure specified limit.
It is used for determination of calorific value of liquid & Solid fuels (as per ASTM D5865 std.). The Instrument consists of S.S Bomb capacity 300 ml made out of corrosion resisting stainless steel Rod, Calorimeter vessel, Outer Jacket with insulated body, offset stirrer, S.S.
This test method used to determine the aniline point of petroleum products and hydrocarbon solvents as per ASTM D611. It is suitable for transparent samples with an initial boiling point above room temperature and where the aniline point is below the bubble point and above the solidification point of the aniline sample mixture.
This setup is used to investigate the physical significance of ignition delay or burning characteristics of fuels using a hot-plate, heater, digital thermocouples setup. It is one of the latest technique to determine the ignition quality of fuels used for power generation in oil & gas sectors.
