State-of-the-Art Solution
Designed to increase the laboratory productivity through automation, the ISL OptiFZP precisely measures the Freezing Point of jet fuels completely unattended, therefore reducing the operator time but also improving greatly the analysis performance.
Product Overview
The next generation Freeze Point Analyzer offers proven technology used by labs worldwide. The powerful internal cooling system can measure up to -100C (-148F) without the need of an external cooling bath. The unique patented detection cell provides ultra-high accuracy with unmatched precision, while maintaining its compact footprint. The newly designed OptiFZP includes a color touchscreen and advanced electronics that allows network printing and electronic data transfer from the analyzer to a PC.
Proven to provide highly precise measurements, OptiFZP’s ASTM D7153 method is an approved freezing point test method in all of ASTM D1655, ASTM D7566 and Def Stan 91-091 global jet fuel specifications for testing all types of jet fuels, including sustainable aviation fuels (SAF).
