About Oxidation Stability of Distillate Fuel Oil-Ip 388
Introduction
This test method covers the measurement of the inherent stability of middle distillate petroleum fuels under specified oxidizing conditions at 95 Degree Celsius.
Significance and Use
This test method provides a basis for the estimation of the storage stability of middle distillate fuels such
Operating Process
A 350 mL volume of filtered middle distillate fuel is aged at 95 Degree Celsius for 16 h while oxygen is bubbled through the sample. After aging, the sample is cooled to approximately room temperature before filtering to obtain the filterable insoluble quantity. Adherent insoluble are then removed from the oxidation cell and associated glassware with trisolvent. The trisolvent is evaporated to obtain the quantity of adherent insoluble. The sum of the filterable and adherent insoluble, expressed as milligrams per 100 mL, is reported as total insoluble.

FAQs of Oxidation Stability of Distillate Fuel Oil-Ip 388:
Q: How is the Oxidation Stability of Distillate Fuel Oil-IP 388 apparatus used in petroleum testing?
A: This apparatus is utilized to assess the inherent stability of middle distillate petroleum fuels by exposing them to a controlled oxidizing environment at 95C. The results help determine the fuels potential shelf life and resistance to degradation during storage.
Q: What is the process involved in measuring oxidation stability according to the IP 388 method?
A: The process involves placing a fuel sample in a reaction vessel, which is then subjected to a constant stream of oxygen at 95C. The time taken for oxidative degradation is measured, indicating the stability of the fuel under these conditions.
Q: When should oxidation stability tests be performed on distillate fuels?
A: Testing is typically carried out before the fuel is distributed or stored for extended periods, as part of quality control procedures or regulatory compliance checks to ensure the fuel maintains its performance and longevity.
Q: Where can this petroleum testing equipment be sourced from in India?
A: The Oxidation Stability of Distillate Fuel Oil-IP 388 apparatus is available through reputed exporters, manufacturers, suppliers, traders, and service providers across India who specialize in laboratory testing equipment for petroleum products.
Q: What benefits does using this equipment provide to fuel suppliers and laboratories?
A: Using this apparatus ensures fuels are assessed for their oxidative resistance, helping prevent premature degradation. This leads to reduced maintenance costs, improved reliability in the end product, and enhanced compliance with industry standards.
Q: How does the power supply specification impact the devices performance?
A: With a 230 Volt, 50 Hz single-phase AC supply, the equipment operates efficiently and consistently in most laboratory settings, supporting continuous testing without interruptions or voltage compatibility concerns.
