Freezing Point

Long duration flight at high altitude subjectsaircraft fuel tanks to very low temperatures,presenting a threat of fuel line and fi lter blockage dueto hydrocarbon crystal formation. Heavy hydrocarbonsand/or wax-containing products can change a fuelscold behavior properties, creating signifi cant fl ightsafety risk. Therefore, rigorous control of aviationfuels freeze point is important at all stages betweenproduction and aircraft fueling, including intermediatereloading points within the distribution system.ISLs FZP 5G2s provides highly accurate freezingpoint determinations down to -100C (-148F), helpingyou assure the low-temperature fl ow performance ofyour aviation fuel. It combines a patented built-incooling system and a unique, patented detection cellinto an ultra-compact, easy to use instrument thatsready to work whenever and wherever you are.Simply inject approximately 10 ml of sample andpress Test; no pre-test programming is necessary. Theunit automatically controls test progress and deliverprecise results in less than 15 minutes. Self-cleaningoperation speeds and simplifi es testing, while smartsoftware features assure accurate testing of diffi cultand contaminated samples.
