OptiPMD is the second generation of a state-of-the-art solution for fast and reliable distillation analysis. It is in accordance to ASTM D7345, IP 596 and in perfect correlation with ASTM D86, D1160 (B100), ISO 3405 and IP 123.

ASTM D7345 in full compliance with 10 Fuel Specifications

• D396     Fuel Oils 
• D975      Diesel Fuel Oils
• D1655    Jet Fuel
• D2880    Gas Turbine Fuel Oils
• D3699    Kerosene
• D4814    Gasoline
• D6751    Biodiesel (B100)
• D7467    Biodiesel Blend (B6 to B20)
• D7566    Synthetic Jet Fuel
• D8147    Special-Purpose Test Aviation Fuel

OptiPMD determines the boiling range characteristics of petroleum products in less than 10 minutes, using only 10 ml of sample and it’s included in at least 10 fuel specifications.

OptiPMD's method, ASTM D7345, delivers significantly faster results compared to the conventional ASTM D86 method, saving you 25 to 35 minutes per distillation.

Thanks to its compact, robust and portable design, the OptiPMD is easily installed in labs or ideal for on-site locations, for refining, for refining process control, fuel blending, research or mobile applications (fuel adulteration monitoring and fast quality screening).

A fully-automated process together with integrated smart heating mode allows true push-button operation. This makes the OptiPMD exceptionally flexible to run unknown samples (research work), and also very user-friendly for for staff with limited training and exposure to laboratory equipment (e.g. inspection/customs points).
