Carbon Residue Tester LRCT-B11

The Carbon Residue Tester LRCT-B11 is designed with a four-hole heating bath that allows users to test four samples at the same time. This significantly increases lab productivity by reducing the total time spent on individual testing cycles. It is especially useful in high-throughput or quality control environments where multiple samples are analyzed regularly. The uniform heating ensures consistent results across all samples. Additionally, running multiple tests together helps conserve energy compared to separate runs.

Labtron’s Carbon Residue Tester LRCT-B11 features a stable electric heating system combined with efficient thermal insulation. This design maintains a consistent internal temperature between test cycles, enabling back-to-back testing. As a result, laboratories can perform consecutive runs with minimal waiting time. It supports continuous workflows in high-demand labs. The system reduces idle time and improves overall testing efficiency.

The Carbon Residue Tester LRCT-B11 uses electric heating instead of an open flame, making it cleaner and safer. However, heating petroleum-based samples at high temperatures can still produce vapors or mild fumes depending on the material. It is recommended to place the instrument in a well-ventilated lab or under a fume hood. This ensures a safe and comfortable working environment. Proper ventilation becomes especially important during extended or repeated testing.

Our Carbon Residue Tester LRCT-B11 does not require complex preparation before use. Samples should be accurately measured and placed in the provided containers according to ASTM D189 guidelines. It's important to ensure that samples are free from moisture or contaminants. These factors can affect thermal behavior and lead to inconsistent results. Proper preparation helps maintain accuracy and repeatability across tests.

The Carbon Residue Tester LRCT-B11 leaves a visible solid residue in the container after testing. This residue is cooled and then weighed to determine the percentage of carbon left from the original sample. The result helps evaluate the deposit-forming tendency of the material. Such data is critical for assessing fuel cleanliness, combustion behavior, and engine compatibility. It supports product approval decisions in fuel and lubricant manufacturing.

Labtron’s Carbon Residue Tester LRCT-B11 is built with durable parts and requires minimal maintenance. Users should regularly clean the sample holders and check the heating elements and electrical connections. The digital control panel should also be inspected to ensure proper functionality. Because it has few moving parts, the system is reliable and easy to maintain. It’s ideal for labs seeking consistent performance without frequent servicing.
