Petroleum Testing Equipment
Get a QuotePetroleum testing is most commonly used in the petroleum industry to test products, product components and petroleum byproducts of crude oil, fuel, natural gas, shale oil, and upstream oil and gas. Instruments exist to test all aspects of petroleum — viscosity, flash point, ability to reduce friction, and different measurements of physical properties, purity, behavior and stability.
Petroleum testing is also used for wax-based products, food product testing and environmental monitoring of petroleum in soil and water.
What instruments are used in petroleum testing? Petroleum instruments include flash point testers, distillation equipment, vapor pressure analyzers, oxidation stability analyzers, trace metals analyzers, octane number analyzers, water content meters, density meters and viscometers — hundreds of tests, including ASTM and ISO protocols.
