1 Introduction
The Cloud and Pour Point Bath is a floor
model unit used for determining cloud and pour
point of fuels and lubricants. This unit is
configured with four test chambers which have
been factory preset at 0, -18, -33, and -51°C.
Each test chamber can hold four test samples.
To
reduce the frost formation and
accumulation of water in the baths, each bath is
equipped with a cover. Included in each test
position is a copper test jacket, thermometer
holder, gasket (O-ring), cork disk, and a lead
weight (to hold down the metal jacket).
This manual provides important information
regarding safety, technical reference, installation
requirements, operating condition specifications,
user
facility resource requirements, and
operating instructions for the Cloud and Pour
Point Bath. This manual should also be used in
conjunction with applicable published laboratory
procedures. Information on these procedures is
given in section 1.2.
