Overall Accuracy             10% ? MDL

MQL                               0.50 TAN units

MDL                               0.18 TAN units

Action Levels                   0 - 2 TAN units (mg KOH/gm oil)

Detection Method            Quantitative Colorimetric Titration

Matrix                             Biodiesel

Analytes                         Total Acid Number

Designed to determine the amount of free fatty acids in biodiesel. The test covers the range of  0 - 2 TAN units (mg KOH/gram of oil) and comes complete with everything necessary to perform one test. Titra-Lube TAN contains no F series solvents. All premeasured reagents are non-hazardous and sealed in glass ampoules for consistent, accurate results. Oil colour will not interfere with the test because the colorimetric end point is carried out in the aqueous phase.

Analysis time is less than 5 minutes utilizing a sampling syring, one test tube and one breakable ampoule. Each test comes with a disposal ampoule that allows easy disposal of used tests in normal waste. This environmetally safe test kit comes packaged with 40 tests per box.

Biodiesel PPM Reagents

Hydro Scout can quantify total water content in Biodiesel from 50 ppm to 10,000 ppm. Titra Lube TAN can measure the free fatty acid content in biodiesel from 0 - 2 mgKOH/gram of sample. For Gasoline, Quant-N-OL measures the amount of ethanol in gasoline in a range of 0 - 90%. Our on-site test kits are fast and easy to use and eliminate the need for expensive and time-consuming laboratory methods.

Biodiesel and ethanol are two energy sources that are being introduced into the fuel marketplace worldwide. These new energy sources are added to refined fossile fuels such as diesel fuel, home heating oils and gasoline. To ensure that these blended fuels meet alternative fuel standards set by the industry, analytical testing should be performed before these fuels reach the consumer.

Alternative fuels are derived from renewable sources such as vegetable and animal oils; ethanol from sugar or cellulose; solar radiation from the sun, and other sources of energy not derived from fossil fuels.

Note: Phosphate Ester based hydraulic oils, solvents and gasoline should not be run using the 5 mL sample size.

All reagents are premeasured and sealed in glass ampoules for safe, accurate and consistent results.

Hydro Scout is an on-site test that quantifies water in industrial oils quickly and easily. The method incorporates the standard reaction of water with calcium hydride to produce one mole of hydrogen for every mole of water. By inserting the reaction tube into the hand-held meter, the instrument converts the prssure of the hydrogen into the amount of water in the sample. The results are reported in ug/mL. To convert to parts per million (PPM), simply divide your results by the specific gravity of the oil sample.
