HKL-1298 Density Tester for Petroleum Products
Overview
HKL-1298 Density Tester for Petroleum Products conforms to ASTM D1298 Standard Test Method for Density, Relative Density, or API Gravity of Crude Petroleum and Liquid Petroleum Products by Hydrometer Method. The apparatus covers the laboratory determination using a glass hydrometer in conjunction with a series of calculations, of the density, relative density, or API gravity of crude petroleum, petroleum products, or mixtures of petroleum and nonpetroleum products normally handled as liquids, and having a Reid vapor pressure of 101.325 kPa (14.696 psi) or less.
Features
Compressor refrigeration systems that are fully integrated make a perfect promise that the cooling capacity will always be enough and reliable.
Reliable operation and the correct level of vacuum are maintained by an internal rotary vane vacuum pump.
The glassware parts are designed according to the standard specification requirements.
The constant-temperature bath is produced with stainless steel that is corrosion resistant.
The glass funnel is correctly graduated to guarantee precise measurements.
High-precision pressure regulator ensures pressure stays within the range of 86,658 Pa.
The key features of the microprocessor-based PID thermostat include digital temperature display, ±0.1°C accuracy, and Pt100 RTD sensor.
The temperature at which it can be used is from that of the surroundings up to 80°C and there is also a safety feature to protect against overheating and low liquid level.
For ease of use and maintenance, the instrument has a modular split design.

FAQ
Q1: What standards does this product (HKL-1298 Density Tester for Petroleum Products) comply with?
A: HKL-1298 Density Tester for Petroleum Products conforms to ASTM D1298 Standard Test Method for Density, Relative Density, or API Gravity of Crude Petroleum and Liquid Petroleum Products by Hydrometer Method. This method deals with figuring out the density, relative density, or API gravity of crude petroleum, petroleum products, or mixtures of petroleum and non-petroleum products that are generally liquid and have a Reid vapor pressure of 101.325 kPa (14.696 psi) or less, in the lab, by using a glass hydrometer combined with a series of calculations.
Q2: The working principle of HKL-1298 Density Tester for Petroleum Products?
A: The sample is tempered at a certain temperature, and a test portion is taken and put in a hydrometer cylinder that is side by side at almost the same temperature. The right hydrometer that is at a similar temperature is slowly immersed into the test portion and allowed to come to rest. When the equilibrium is obtained, the hydrometer scale is read, and the temperature of the test portion is taken. The hydrometer reading that is observed is brought down to the reference temperature using the Petroleum Measurement Tables.
Q3: Significance and use of HKL-1298 Density Tester for Petroleum Products?
A: It is crucial to accurately determine the density, relative density (specific gravity), or API gravity of petroleum and its products in order to convert the measured volumes to standard reference temperatures either to volumes or masses, or to both, during custodian transfer. This test method is the best for determining the density, relative density (specific gravity), or API gravity of low viscosity transparent liquids. Besides, this test method can also be used for viscous liquids by giving enough time for the hydrometer to reach equilibrium, and for opaque liquids by applying a proper meniscus correction.
Q4: How can I get the user guides and technical documentation for the products?
A: To enable you to efficiently achieve your objectives, we simplify the process for you to access complete sets of documents such as user manuals, quick guides, application examples and standard operating procedures (SOPs). Simply log in to our official website's download center or get in touch with our customer service team to request the files you need.
Q5: What is the minimum order quantity? How long is the delivery lead time?
A: The least number of order is one piece, and the delivery time is approximately 20 days after the advance payment has been made.
