Aspectrics has extended the capabilities of its MultiComponent 2750 EP-NIR analyser to include quality assurance measurements of biofuels.
Analyser provides exact measurements of biodiesel
Aspectrics has introduced an application note demonstrating the ability of its MultiComponent 2750 EP-NIR analyser to provide accurate measurements of biodiesel in B0 to B100 diesel blends.
The units demonstrated no degradation in electrical or photometric performance during or after the test.
In addition, the photometric performance was further tested by collecting spectra as these vibrations were applied to the analyser.
Even under the stress of such vibrations, the EP-IR analyser retained photometric performance and still meets RMS signal-to-noise specifications greater than 50,000:1.
Aspectrics' EP-IR analysers are the only systems available on the market that have successfully achieved this certification.
Jim Yano, VP of Marketing for Aspectrics, comments: "Our EP-IR technology is a breakthrough for the process monitoring industry.
That's why our analysers have enjoyed a tremendously positive reaction since their launch.
Receiving certification to military specifications with regards to vibration resistance further demonstrates the ruggedness of our EP-IR systems compared with less vibration sensitive techniques such as FT-IR." Being capable of simultaneously measuring multiple gas components in the ppb to ppm range as well as an ultra-fast scan rate of 100 scans/second, Aspectrics' patented EP-IR analysers allow manufactures to monitor their processes in real-time.
The units do not utilise any hygroscopic optical components or internal lasers.
Furthermore, Aspectrics offers a complete suite of software solutions from application development to field deployable calibrations and control software.
Vibration testing is used to evaluate products and packages for design purposes and to simulate the effects of transportation or system vibration.
During the tests, environmental exposure to vibration is reproduced to ensure compliance with quality and safety requirements.
