Stanhope-Seta’s New hand-held Conductivity Meter, has been designed to measure the electrical conductivity of distillate fuels such as Jet-A1 to ASTM D2624 or IP 274.

The unit is provided in an industry standard ATEX approved polyamide housing, with a built in Lithium Ion rechargeable battery system. The conductivity sensor is constructed of two 316SS coaxial electrode sensors. It has a measurement range of 0 to 2000 picosiemens/meter (pS/M), although it is optimized and is usually used in the 0 to 500 pS/M range.

It has an easy to use menu system and allows users to store up to 10 sample data points internally along with the temperature date and time, this data can be viewed on the screen or transferred to a computer via USB. Software is also available for data analysis plotting and archiving.

Flash Point Testing is important in determining the hazard classification of many substances including Flavours and Fragrances. Flash Point is the lowest temperature at which a liquid generates enough vapour to ignite when mixed with oxygen.

Stanhope Seta is pleased to introduce the new Series 8 Closed Cup Flash Point Tester, an updated version of the Series 7. The Series 8 has a temperature range from ambient to 300oC or -20°C to 130°C for the peltier cooled model. This new instrument has the option of either electric of gas ignition.

The Series 8 Flash Point Tester has a ‘ramp’ facility which automatically increases the temperature of the sample at a rate of 2°C/min until a flash is detected. The dipping sequence occurs automatically every 1°C up to 100°C and every 2°C above 100°C until either a flash is detected or the end of test temperature is reached. When the test is complete, the sample cup is cooled by forced air to reduce cycle time between tests.

The Series 8 features a colour LCD screen and soft key controls. Up to 64 results can be stored in memory and downloaded to a computer or printer.

John Morris Scientific is pleased to introduce the new laser based particle counter from Stanhope Seta. The AvCount is specifically designed for checking and maintaining the quality of Jet A1 Aviation Fuel throughout the distribution network from refinery to airport.

The new particle analyser is a rugged and portable instrument which uses a high precision laser measurement system capable of measuring particle sizes from 4 to 200 µm.

The AvCount is fast and simple to use and reduces the likelihood of error through automated functionality. Once a test is started the instrument automatically flushes the cell and runs the test with results displayed in 4 minutes.

Results conform to new Industry ISO rating cleanliness values and can be saved to memory for trend analysis of samples, printed out on the integral printer or downloaded to a PC.

The AvCount provides excellent performance and reliability for both on-site and laboratory applications and reduces operator involvement and the burden of training.
