Micro Carbon Residue Tester LRCT-C10

Yes, the Micro Carbon Residue Tester LRCT-C10 is fully compliant with ASTM D4530, the standard test method for determining micro carbon residue in petroleum products. It provides a modern, automated alternative to the traditional Conradson and Ramsbottom methods, offering improved precision, safety, and efficiency.

Labtron’s Micro Carbon Residue Tester LRCT-C10 is essential for fuels, lubricants, and other petroleum products where understanding coke formation is critical. It helps determine how these products will behave under high-temperature conditions, such as inside engines or industrial equipment. This testing is especially important for products used in aviation, automotive, and heavy machinery industries. It helps manufacturers improve product formulations and maintain quality control.

The Micro Carbon Residue Tester LRCT-C10 has built-in infrared sensors that detect the carbon residue by measuring the heat radiation emitted from the samples. This method is highly sensitive and provides real-time monitoring of the residue formation during the test. It helps avoid human errors related to manual observations and improves the consistency of results. Using infrared sensing also speeds up the detection process and enhances overall reliability.

The Micro Carbon Residue Tester LRCT-C10 includes a 200 mL glass condensate trap that collects vapors released from samples during heating. This prevents these vapors from escaping into the lab environment, enhancing safety and cleanliness. The trap is easy to remove and clean, allowing users to maintain the system without hassle. Collecting condensate also protects internal components from contamination or damage caused by residues.

Our Micro Carbon Residue Tester LRCT-C10 is designed to safely shut down in case of power failure to prevent damage to the samples or the instrument. Once power is restored, the operator can review saved data and decide whether to repeat the test. The machine’s memory retains previous test information, protecting against data loss. This helps labs avoid inaccurate results due to unexpected shutdowns and supports reliable testing workflows.

Labtron’s Micro Carbon Residue Tester LRCT-C10 is suitable for testing a wide range of petroleum products regardless of viscosity or chemical makeup. Whether testing light fuels like gasoline or heavier oils and lubricants, the device can accurately measure carbon residue. The controlled heating and inert atmosphere prevent sample degradation beyond intended residue formation. This versatility makes it useful for diverse fuel and oil quality control applications.

The Micro Carbon Residue Tester LRCT-C10 securely holds samples in glass vials placed in a stable holder to prevent spills or breakage. Its sealed oven and condensate trap effectively prevent harmful vapors from escaping. After testing, samples safely cool down inside the chamber or can be removed using protective tools. These safety features protect both the operator and the laboratory environment from exposure to hazardous materials.
