Grabner MINIDIS ADXpert, New Benchmark For Distillation Testing
The MINIDIS ADXpert analyzer from Grabner® Instruments is the new benchmark for ASTM D86 distillation testing. The fast, reliable and highly precise automatic distillation tester is the smart alternative to classical ASTM D86 testing. The versatile unit has about twice the resolution as D86 distillation units, yielding results that are well within ASTM D86r/R requirements. MINIDIS also performs according to the new D7344 standard for atmospheric distillation.
The MINIDIS development team focused on several specific design goals: automation, miniaturization and ease of use. The result is a breakthrough in terms of both design and performance. The fully automatic MINIDIS ADXpert allows for precise testing of various gasolines, jet fuel, diesel products (groups 0-4), biofuels, solvents, aromatics, organic liquids, chemical and contaminated or blended samples. Like the D86 method, the ADXpert performs a true atmospheric distillation but on a much smaller scale. It requires as little as 6mL of sample and is much faster. A distillation run on light samples takes just 15 minutes.
