HKL-1401 Apparatus for Water Separability of Petroleum and Synthetic Fluids
Overview
HKL-1401 Apparatus for Water Separability of Petroleum and Synthetic Fluids conforms to the ASTM D1401 Standard Test Method for Water Separability of Petroleum Oils and Synthetic Fluids. A test specimen, consisting of the sample mixed with either distilled water, sodium chloride (NaCl) solution, or synthetic seawater, is stirred in a graduated cylinder at either 54 ℃ or 82℃, depending on the viscosity of the test specimen or the sample specification. The time required for the separation of the emulsion thus formed is recorded either after every 5 min or at the specification time limit.
Features
This instrument adopts a vertical structure with digital temperature control, featuring compact size, reliable operation, and high temperature control accuracy.
The instrument utilizes dual-motor stirring—one directly agitates the water bath in the tank to ensure uniform temperature distribution, while the other stirs the sample inside the test tube.
The bath cover is equipped with three holes, allowing three samples to be tested simultaneously without interference.
A precision timer is included, with a timing range of 99 hours and 99 minutes.

FAQ
Q1: What standards does this product (HKL-1401 Apparatus for Water Separability of Petroleum and Synthetic Fluids) comply with? What is the applicable scope of the instrument?
A:HKL1401-3 Apparatus for Water Separability of Petroleum and Synthetic Fluids conforms to the ASTM D1401 Standard Test Method for Water Separability of Petroleum Oils and Synthetic Fluids. This test method covers measurement of the ability of petroleum oils or synthetic fluids to separate from water. Although developed specifically for steam-turbine oils having viscosities of 28.8 mm²/s to 90 mm²/s at 40 °C, this test method may be used to test oils of other types having various viscosities and synthetic fluids at other test temperatures. It is recommended, however, that the test temperature be raised to 82 °C ± 1 °C when testing products more viscous than 90 mm²/s at 40 °C. For higher viscosity oils where there is insufficient mixing of oil and water, Test Method D2711 is recommended. Other test temperatures such as 25 °C may also be used. A 1 % sodium chloride (NaCl) solution or synthetic seawater may be used in place of distilled water when testing certain oils or fuels used in marine applications.
Q2: Significance and use of HKL-1401 Apparatus for Water Separability of Petroleum and Synthetic Fluids?
A:This test method provides a guide for determining the water separation characteristics of oils subject to water contamination and turbulence. It is used for specification of new oils and monitoring of in-service oils.
Q3: What is the minimum order quantity? How long is the delivery lead time?
A: The minimum order quantity is one unit, and delivery is approximately 20 days after advance payment.
Q4: How can I get a product quotation?
A: Please submit your requirements via the contact page on our official website or customer service email, and we will contact you within 24 hours with a detailed quotation.
Q5: Do you offer customized solutions?
A: Yes, we can provide customized instrument configurations and testing solutions based on the customer's specific application need
