Semi-Automatic ASTM D1160 Specifications

Automatic Control of Distillation including:

• First drop detection (IBP)
• Vacuum level
• Degassing
• Receiver/condenser temperatures
• Measurement of vapor and liquid temperatures
• Recording of all parameters and results
• Ending distillation, cool down
• Printing of results

Operator Controlled:

• Distillation rate
• Operator presses “enter key” when receiver volume reaches 5%, 10%, 20%.... The computer automatically records the data when the enter key is pressed. Data can also be entered manually.
