An oil centrifuge tube is a specialized piece of laboratory glassware consisting of a broad to pear-shaped length of glass open at the top and a markedly tapered bottom stem
Used in determining water and sediment in crude mineral oils or fuel oils and in testing for acidity of distillation residues or hydrocarbon liquids of gasoline or petroleum solvents
Also utilized to test the volume of precipitate formed by centrifuging quantities of steam cylinder stocks, black oils and lubricating oils and in tests for water-insoluble solids in methylcellulose
Calibrated to contain; durable white ceramic enamel scale, legend and marking spot on each tube
Top is tooled to accept a snap cap; cap not included
Description
Kimax tube used in the determination of water and sediment in crude mineral oils, fuel oils and other petroleum products D1796 and MPMS 10.4 standards); in determination of volume of precipitate formed by centrifuging definite quantities of steam cylinder stocks and black oils and other lubricating oils (ASTM D91 and D128); in tests for water-insoluble solids in methylcellulose (ASTM D1347); and in testing for acidity of distillation residues or hydrocarbon liquids of gasoline or petroleum solvents (ASTM D1093). Calibrated to contain. Scale and legend are durable white ceramic enamel. Also referenced in ASTM D4007. Top is tooled to accept a Snap Cap (28150R-6). Capacity: 100mL. Subdivisions: 0-0.5mL in 0.05mL increments; 0.5-2mL in 0.1mL increments; 3-5mL in 0.5mL increments; 5-10mL in 1mL increments; 10-25mL in 5mL increments; 25-100mL in 25mL increments. Dimensions (O.D. x L): 37mm x 203mm. Kimble #: 45240-100.
