DIESO FILTER TEST KIT
Product Code
- Product group:

Unitor™ Dieso Filtration Test Kit (DFTK) is designed to determine the Filter Blocking Tendency (FBT) of distillate fuels, including diesel, gas oil and biofuels. The determination of the filterability (Filter Blocking Tendency, FBT) is the best measurement to predict sporadically observed filter plugging that is caused apart from microbial contamination.
Product information
Unitor™ Dieso Filtration Test Kit (DFTK) is specifically designed to assess the Filter Blocking Tendency (FBT) of distillate fuels, such as diesel, gas oil, and biofuels. Evaluating filterability through FBT is the most effective method for predicting occasional instances of filter clogging that occur independently of microbial contamination.The Unitor Dieso Filtration Test Kit conforms to IP 387 Test Method. Note: The embedded software enables tests conforming to IP387 to be carried out automatically. The principle of the test is that a sample is passed through a specified filter at a constant flow rate. The pressure drop across the filter and the flow time (thus volume) are monitored. The result is calculated from either the pressure drop after a specified volume has passed through the filter, or the volume when the pressure drop has reached a specified level. The DFTK comprises a Reservoir for the sample, Pick-Up Assembly with integral temperature probe, Precision Pump, Outlet Swivel Assembly, Filter Unit, Collection Beaker for spent sample, and Control Unit. All components are mounted within the case. The Filter Unit comprises a Filter Unit and a disposable Filter Element and is supplied with this kit.
Features
- Most accurate test kit (DFTK) to evaluate the Filter Blocking Tendency (FBT) of distillate fuels, including diesel, gas oil and biodiesel
- Portable and easy to handle and measure due to control panel instructions
- Easy, automated testing procedure due to embedded pumps
- Calibration of the temperature probe, pressure sensor and pump flow rate on the spot via the Control panel
