The Ramsbottom Carbon Residue Apparatus is a CE-marked instrument designed to determine the carbon residue content of petroleum products according to ASTM D524, IP 14, and ISO 4262. This test method evaluates the amount of carbon residue left after evaporation and pyrolysis of oil, providing reliable data on the relative coke-forming tendency of fuels and lubricants.
