Rapid, objective tube-deposit measurement for ASTM D3241

Compact, plug-and-play interferometry system that scans the heater tube at ~1,200 points and reports the ASTM D3241 Standard Spot, average/max thickness, and total deposit volume. Delivers nanometer-scale precision and a full 3-D report in under 15 minutes—ideal for QC and research.

Automated Smoke Point Tester

Precise, repeatable smoke point measurements without operator expertise. Using automated flame control with video detection and patented atmospheric compensation, it’s ready to test instantly—eliminating lengthy calibrations and manual setup. The result: faster, more reliable jet fuel analysis with minimal user intervention.

ASTM / NACE Corrosion Bath

Revolutionary corrosion testing with full automation and dual independent test positions. It precisely controls timing, temperature, and water injection for consistent, repeatable results. Fully compliant with ASTM and NACE methods, the CB10 simplifies setup and can run unattended. Corrosion evaluation can be performed visually or with the automated CT10 Corrosion Rater for objective, high-precision results.

Automated Corrosion Rater

Innovative, fully automated method to precisely measure corroded surface area—eliminating operator subjectivity. Using controlled lighting, a rotating specimen stage, and a high-resolution CCD camera, it accurately calculates corrosion percentage and converts it into a NACE rating. Integrated with the CB10 Corrosion Tester, the CT10 delivers repeatable, fully documented results and a detailed report in under five minutes.

On-Site Fuel Compatibility & Cleanliness Tester

The AD Systems ST10 automates the ASTM D4740 spot test to assess fuel compatibility and cleanliness with unmatched simplicity. All phases—sample conditioning, spot preparation, drying, and digital rating—are integrated in a portable, self-contained unit. Results are stored automatically with full traceability, eliminating operator bias. Designed for on-board or laboratory use, the ST10 delivers quick, objective results anywhere power is available.

Automated Asphaltene Stability S-value Analyzer

First fully automated instrument for intrinsic stability (S-value) testing, compliant with ASTM D7157 and developed under license from TOTAL RC. Using a temperature-controlled, high-precision measuring cell, it accurately evaluates fuel stability, compatibility, and blending potential—without operator intervention. Compact and intuitive, the SV10 delivers S-value, So, Sa, IN, and SBN results while eliminating solvent-handling risks, making it the ideal tool for refineries, blenders, and research labs.

Atmospheric distillation of Fuels and Solvents
Innovative Video Distillation

The new standard in atmospheric distillation testing through advanced automation and video-assisted precision. Using a patent-pending algorithm with real-time image analysis, it monitors boiling behavior and optimizes heating to perfectly follow the selected method. No manual tuning or programming required—the VD10 delivers flawless, repeatable results from the very first run, even with challenging or unknown fuel samples.

Automated Reid Vapor Pressure

Fully automated Reid Vapor Pressure testing in compliance with ASTM D323-B and ASTM D4953 for gasoline, crude oil, and other volatile petroleum products. Featuring dual independent test positions, it delivers precise, repeatable measurements without correlations or manual intervention. Its robust design handles viscous and particulate samples safely, while quick-connect vessels and mechanical agitation ensure fast stabilization and easy cleaning—ideal for reliable vapor pressure testing in any environment.
