DROP POINT APPARATUS FOR PARAFFIN WAX - ASTM D3954 - FULLY AUTOMATIC

Model Number : EIE-PTLT-110FA

None

More Information

Compliance with following International Standards:

ASTM D3954

Purpose:

This instrument is suitable for detecting the dropping point of all non-liquid waxes including paraffin wax, microcrystalline wax, polyethylene wax, blended wax and natural wax.

Summary of test method

In this test method, the dropping point is defined as the temperature at which the wax suspended in a cylindrical cup. with a 2.8-mm dipmeter hole in the bottom, flows downward a distance of 19 mm to interrupt a light beam as the sample is heated at a constant rate in air.

Apparatus Details:

The complete test assembly consists of following parts & accessories

1) Grease Cup:

A chromium-plated brass cup conforming to ASTM Standard D566

2) Test Tube:
