SX-150 Portable Octane and Cetane Meter

The SX-150 analyzer is designed for testing fuel quality. It is a portable small-sized device intended for rapid analysis of oil products quality in field and laboratory conditions. It is an upgraded generation of fuel analyzers that superseded SX-200 and was designed based on SX-300 analyzer. SX-150 has additional modes for determining gasoline oxidation breakdown time and kerosene percentage in diesel fuel. The device can be used together with a PC or a laptop through a USB interface. SX-150 supports the automatic computer-based calibration. Measurement results, including the analysis date and time, can be saved in the instrument memory and transferred to the PC (in .xlsx or .txt format). SX-150 has an 8-key antiglare keyboard, which is easy for operation, wear-proof and resistant to aggressive environments. Operating conditions: air temperature range from -10°С up to +45°С. The device is powered from 4 elements of АА type (R6) or from a computer USB port.

The instrument can determine the following parameters:

  • · Gasoline octane level in compliance with ASTM D 2699-86, ASTM D 2700-86.
  • · Diesel fuel Cetane level in compliance with ASTM D 4737-03, ASTM D 613, EN ISO 5165.

Overall dimensions of:

  • · electronic module - 211х100х45 mm
  • · sensor #1 - 60х100 mm

Reference parameters:

  • · Diesel fuel type and cold filter plugging point (СFPP).
  • · Gasoline breakdown time (oxidation stability).
  • · Kerosene percentage in diesel fuel.
