The Koehler Smoke Point Analyzer K27000 measures the smoke point of kerosene and aviation turbine fuels, indicating their smoke-producing properties. The K27000 smoke point tester conforms to ASTM D1322 standards, ensuring reliable and accurate results. Constructed with high-quality materials, the K27000 smoke point tester is built for durability and long-term use, requiring minimal maintenance. K27000 smoke point tester helps to measure smoke point precisely making it an essential tool for fuel quality analysis, helping to ensure compliance with industry standards.
The K27000 Smoke Point Analyzer burns fuel samples under controlled conditions, measuring the maximum flame height obtainable without smoking. The device consists of a brass lamp body with a chimney, a gallery, a 0-50mm black glass scale with white markings, a brass plated door with a curved glass window, a candle socket, and a plated brass candle with a wick tube and air vent. It is mounted on a cast iron base with an aluminium support rod, ensuring stability and durability. Accessories such as cotton wicks, interchangeable candles, and specialized tools for wick insertion and trimming are provided for convenience and accuracy. The included sighting device eliminates parallax errors, ensuring precise measurements.
For laboratories looking to improve measurement consistency and reduce operator involvement, the AD Systems SP20 Automated Smoke Point Tester provides an automated alternative to the manual smoke point test, with digital flame imaging and automatic flame-height measurement for ASTM D1322 and IP 598 applications.
