NewLab 100
NewLab 100 - Cloud Point
Measuring Cloud Point Principle
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.

NewLab 200
NewLab 200 - Cold Filter Plugging Point
Measuring CFPP Principle
The sample is cooled down according to the methods and when the preselected temperature is reached a vacuum of 20 mBar is automatically applied to the sample. The product is sucked through the filter into the calibrated aspiration pipette. If the sample takes more than 60 seconds to reach the upper barrier detector (during the aspiration phase), or it fails to return completely into the test jar before that the product has cooled by a further 1°C, the Cold Filter Plugging Point is reached.

NewLab 226
NewLab 226 - Low Temperature Flow Test
Subject
This test method covers estimating the filterability of diesel fuels in some automotive equipment at low temperatures. The Low Temperature Flow Test results are indicative of the low temperature flow performance of the test fuel in some diesel vehicles. The test method is especially useful for the evaluation of fuels containing flow improver additives in a range of +10°C … -30°C.Measuring LTFT principle
Up to 6 300 ml test vessels are cooled at a specified rate of 1°C/h and,at every °C of cooling, a vacuum of 20 kPa is applied to a filter assembly immersed in the first sample. If the sample recovered in a graduated receiver vessel reaches the 180 ml in 60 sec. the analysis continues to the further 1°C test temperature (passed). When the sample doesn’t reach the 180 ml within the 60 sec. the test is failed. The temperature of the last passing result test has to be recorded as minimum LTFT pass temperature. The instrument is a six places floor model Equipped with a built in cooling system with motor compressor CFC free for temperatures up to -45°C. Fully automatic, controlled by dedicated panel pc with touch screen and a large display. All the parameters and the current status of the analysis are shown in real time.Measuring LTFT devices
- Aspiration pipette
- Filter assembly
- Light barrier

Determination (D6922) if an automotive engine oil is homogeneous and will remain so, and if it is miscible with certain standard reference oils after being submitted to a prescribed cycle of temperature changes.
Measuring Pour Point Principle
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.
