Measuring Cloud and Pour Point Principle

Cloud Point

The sample is cooled down according to the methods while the clouds appearance is observed on the silver bottom of the test jar by means of an optical sensor. The measurement is done by reflection on the silver bottom of the test jar via a fast light detector. The signal from light detector is traded by the LabLink software. The dynamic measurement is performed regardless of the sample’s colour.

Pour Point

According to the methods, the sample is cooled down at a specified rate and, at the prescribed temperature intervals, the mechanical arm of the analyser lifts the test jar from the cooling jacket and tilts it in order to bring it in horizontal position to test the flow of the product. The sample movement is detected by the thermal probes (PT100 detection) placed above the sample surface which react if touched by the cooled sample.
