Cold Properties

Cloud point is the temperature at which wax crystals start to form in fuel, directly impacting its flow properties in cold conditions. If not properly measured, these crystals can block filters and pipelines, leading to operational issues. Accurate cloud point testing is therefore essential for ensuring fuel performance and suitability in low-temperature environments. With PAC's advanced instruments, laboratories and refineries can achieve precise, reliable results that enhance fuel quality and efficiency.

Pour point is the lowest temperature at which a fuel or fluid can still flow before solidifying, making it a key indicator of performance in cold climates. If the pour point is too high, fuels and lubricants may gel, causing blockages in engines, pipelines, or filters. Accurate measurement is therefore essential for ensuring usability and safety. Modern instruments, like those from PAC, provide precise, reliable, and repeatable pour point results, helping laboratories and refineries maintain fuel quality and efficiency.

Cold Filter Plugging Point (CFPP) is the lowest temperature at which diesel fuel can still flow through a filter, indicating its cold flow performance. In cold conditions, wax crystals can block fuel filters, potentially causing engine starting problems or operational disruptions. Accurate CFPP testing with PAC's advanced instruments provides precise and repeatable results, helping laboratories and refineries maintain fuel quality and prevent filter blockages.

Freeze point is the temperature at which water in fuel begins to form ice crystals, potentially blocking filters and disrupting fuel flow. Accurate freeze point testing is essential for ensuring fuel reliability, optimizing formulations, and meeting international standards. Modern instruments, like those from PAC, provide precise and repeatable results, helping laboratories and refineries maintain fuel quality and prevent operational issues in cold environments.
