The Lead, Acid, and Salt Content testing apparatus is a CE-marked instrument designed for the accurate determination of impurities in crude oil, gasoline, petroleum products, and lubricants. Fully compliant with ASTM, IP, and ISO standards, it enables precise measurement of lead, salt, and inorganic acid content, ensuring quality control and compliance in petrochemical laboratories.
Applicable Test Methods
• ASTM D2547 (obs..), IP 248, ISO 2083 – Volumetric-chromate method for determining lead in gasoline (0.04 to 1.1 g Pb/L).
• ASTM D6470 – Potentiometric determination of salt content in crude oils (0.0005% to 0.15% NaCl).
• IP 77 – Extraction and volumetric titration for total halides in crude petroleum, residual cracking stock, and fuel oils.
• IP 182 – Determination of inorganic acid content in used and unused lubricants, fuel oils, and petrolatums.
