Keterangan :

The Kittiwake Density Meter is suitable for diesel & residual fuel oils. Use it to confirm the quantity of fuel delivered, verify that the correct grade of fuel has been delivered, estimate the combustion performance (CCAI), correct viscosity in cP to cSt.

The Density Meter can be purchased as a stand-alone kit, supplied in its own case, or as part of a more extensive suite of testing equipment in the Fuel and Lube Oil Test Cabinet , or Power Plant Laboratory .

The Kittiwake Density Meter has been proven to be as accurate as laboratory methods. Click this link to view an independant report from a leading analysis laboratory.

Hydrometers
The Density Meter measures density using a hydrometer dropped in warmed oil. Most oil can be measured at 50ºC but for very viscous oils the units can be set to warm to 70ºC.

There is a calculator feature, which allows the reading to be adjusted to show Density at 15 ºC in a vacuum. If the viscosity is known in Censtistokes or Centipoise the calculator will display the CCAI.

The Density Meter uses Hydrometers to measure the density of marine fuels corrected to kg/m3 at 15oC. With this information and the viscosity of the fuel, the Density Meter can determine:

Mass of fuel delivered
Calorific value
Anticipated combustion performance (CCAI)

Hydrometers are available in three ranges. One of each is supplied with the Density Meter.

Note: The Density Meter must not be used for heating any liquids other than diesel or residual fuel oils. It is not suitable for use with any fuels with a low flash point temperature (e.g. gasoline).
