• ASTM and IPreferee method 


• Quick, easy, and precise 


• Increases safety  Reduces labor 


• Very compact design

The smoke point test method is one of the oldest standards in petroleum industry. It is one of the last manual methods that has never been automated before. Performing the smoke point test manually requires highly skilled technicians with years of experience. Additionally, the manual test is time consuming. The current visual rating method used for specification purposes suffers from the drawback of operator subjectivity. The visual measurement of an open flame is a challenging exercise and dangerous for lab personnel. The visual rating of the flame varies from one operator to another. The SP 10 revolutionizes the smoke point testing. It uses a system that adjusts the size of the flame associated to a video camera that observes the flame. When the flame attains the shape described in the test method, the SP 10 memorizes and reports the height of the flame. Every test is fully documented andtraceable which is important for aviation industry quality procedures.
