Process chemicals can be analysed on-line
Metrohm has combined the best aspects of laboratory and online systems to produce the 875 ProcessLab: a fully customised, automated at-line system for analytical testing.
Determining water levels in lubricating oils
It is impoirtant to determine the presence of water in machinery lubricating oils, which is why Metrohm is offering its 831 KF Coulometer to give reliable results over a long period.
Metrohm can offer a solution to many of the analytical requirements listed in European Standard EN14214, namely:.
* Oxidative Stability - Rancimat method.
* Acid Value - Potentiometric Titration.

* Viscosity - Rotational Viscometers.
OXIDATIVE STABILITY.
The Metrohm Rancimat 743 method for measuring the oxidative stability of fatty acid methyl esters is determined according to DIN EN 14112.
In this method the highly volatile organic acids produced by autoxidation are absorbed in water and used to indicate induction time.
With the simple to use 743 Rancimat, the determination takes place at a highly sophisticated level.
TITRATIONS FOR BIODIESEL.
As listed in Euopean Standard EN14214, Biodiesel manaufacturers are required to determine Acid Value and Iodine number by titration.
Using Metrohm autititrators these methods have been perfected over the years and can be found in Metrohm Application Bulletin 141- Analysis of Edible Oils and Fats.
KARL FISCHER MOISTURE ANALYSIS.
EN14214/ EN ISO 12937 States that Water Determination should be by Coulometrice KF Titration Method * Metrohm can offer a choice of two Coulometer's either the 831 or the 756 models.
* In some cases the addition of a solubility promoter (chloroform or propanol) is recommeded to improve solubilty.
VISCOSITY MEASUREMENT.
As listed in Euopean Standard EN14214, Biodiesel manufacturers are required to determine viscosity at 40 degrees Celcius as per the test method EN ISO 3104.
Automated viscosity measurement in the BIODIESEL field requires a robust, resistant, reliable instrument which is simple to use and does not require highly skilled staff in order to produce accurate results.
The versatility of Fungilab viscometers makes them ideal tools for all types of users in the lab as well as the demanding conditions in the production area.
Metrohm can offer the perfect solution to automate the Biodiesel analysis requirements.
We have the specialised equipment and literature in place to help establish a quality sampling routine.
