JFA-70Xi
Jet Fuel Analyzer
State-of-the-Art Solution
PAC Powered by Phase Technology’s JFA-70Xi jet fuel analyzer is the world’s first instrument that performs three crucial tests in one unit—freeze point, viscosity and density. And, it does it all in less than 15 minutes!
Product Overview
Phase Technology’s JFA-70Xi jet fuel analyzer is the world’s first instrument that performs three crucial tests in one unit—freeze point, viscosity and density. And, it does it all in less than 15 minutes!
The JFA is also available as a 5-in-1 analyzer, adding cloud and pour point for diesel fuel. That makes it the most versatile analyzer in your lab!
The JFA-70Xi features a side loaded automatic sample injection port. There’s no longer a need to manually pipette. The analyzer always draws the precise amount of sample as required by the ASTM method.
The JFA-70Xi is completely self-cleaning, without the need of solvents. Save time and hassle of cleaning, and avoid any risk of damage to the sample cup.
With the superior advantage of JFA-70Xi’s ASTM D5972/IP 435 automatic freezing point method to detect low levels of incidental materials and other contaminants, in addition to being an approved method for standard Jet A and Jet A1, it is currently the referee method when SAF is co-processed
to ensure that the freezing point will not be negatively impacted by levels of unconverted raw materials.
With an unsurpassed precision, JFA-70Xi’s ASTM D7945 method is an approved viscosity test method in all of ASTM D1655, ASTM D7566 and Def Stan 91-091 global jet fuel specifications for testing viscosity at both -20°C and -40°C.
The JFA-70Xi is also available with a 48-station autosampler, which allows unattended testing. Users can initiate 1 to 48 runs in a row, then walk away and let the analyzer do the rest.
