Improved portable gasoline analysis
Compact, robust and user-friendly mid-FTIR spectrometer for the automatic measurement of the concentration of the most important components of gasoline
The Grabner Irox 2000 from Sartec is an extremely compact, robust and user-friendly mid-FTIR spectrometer for the automatic measurement of the concentration of the most important components of gasoline Thanks to a new and improved mathematical model and the use of a built-in density meter, the instrument provides enhanced results for the prediction of key properties such as octane numbers, distillation properties and vapour pressure

Analyser can measure any combination of freeze, cloud, and pour point and produce appropriate ASTM test results on petroleum products including aviation fuel, diesel, and lubrication oils
Mobile laboratory takes fuel testing anywhere
Mobile fuel-testing laboratory can be built and equipped in a flexible way according to individual requirements, and can be equipped with a range of on-board fuel testing analysers
A large number of country specific calibration samples are stored and Outlier fuels can be easily added through the calibration menu using the integral display/keypad.
The portability and vehicle battery options are ideal for on-site field use.
The heart of the instrument is an extremely compact mid-FTIR spectrometer.
Fully automatic optical realignment during warm-up ensures high stability even after long use or transportation.
Instead of a few filter-lines, the complete absorption spectrum is measured.
This provides complete information of the substances present in the gasoline, eliminates variations of the baseline and minimises interference.
The instrument measures a wide range of parameters and meets ASTM D5845, ASTM D6277 and EN238 standards.
For diesel fuels Grabner's Irox Diesel is a perfect partner.
The unit is very similar to the Irox 2000 and only differs in the cell-length and the on-board software and calibration routines.
The Irox instruments form a small part of a large family of Grabner analysers and testers for parameters such as vapour pressure, flash point, distillation, density, and colour.
