BROKEN ARROW, OK – The MINISCAN IRXpert analyzer from AMETEK Grabner® Instruments is the first completely portable multi-fuel analyzer for gasoline, diesel and biodiesel blends that incorporates the advantages of mid-IR and near-IR spectroscopy to achieve unmatched accuracy of fuel properties.
Based on Grabner’s long-standing expertise in fuel analysis, the MINISCAN IRXpert is an intelligent, self-learning analyzer that uses more than 12,000 data points from the infrared spectrum to determine the concentration of molecules in a sample. The MINISCAN IRXpert is able to yield from that spectrum a “fingerprint” of more than 40 important fuel properties.
The MINISCAN IRXpert performs compound analysis according to international standards (ASTM D5845 for oxygenates, ASTM D6277 and EN 238 for benzene, and EN 14078 for biodiesel). Predictions for octane number, AKI and cetane number are based on ASTM D2699, 2700, 613, ISO 5163, 5164; distillation on ASTM D86 and ISO 3405; and vapor pressure on ASTM D6378, D5191, D323 and EN 13016. An integrated temperature controlled density meter allows for direct determination of fuel density.
The MINISCAN IRXpert comes fully configured and ready for fuels testing. A high-end, full-color touch screen facilities menu navigation and allows for in-depth spectrum analysis. USB and Ethernet interfaces facilitate quick data transfer, printing, LIMS integration, and remote control and service.
The MINISCAN IRXpert is highly adaptable and intelligent. An unlimited number of new parameters can be added with the push of a button. Users simply upload a database, and the analyzer creates the optimum measuring model.
The MINISCAN IRXpert multi-fuel analyzer is available in North America from AMETEK Petrolab Company, a unit of AMETEK, Inc., a leading global manufacturer of electronic instruments and electromechanical devices with annual sales of $3.0 billion.
