The standard test method for corrosiveness to copper from petroleum products by copper strip test ASTM D130 covers the determination of the corrosiveness to copper of aviation gasoline, aviation turbine fuel, automotive gasoline, cleaners (stoddard) solvent, kerosine,diesel fuel, distillate fuel, lubricating oil and natural gasoline or other hydrocarbons having a vapor pressure no greater than 124 kPa (18 psi) at 37.8 degC. (Warning-Some products, particularly natural gasoline, may have a much higher vapor pressure than would normally be characteristic of automotive or aviation gasolines. For this reason exercise extreme caution to ensure that the pressure vessel used in this test method and containing natural gasoline or other products of high vapor pressure is not placed in the 100degC (212degF) bath. Samples having vapor pressures in excess of 124 kPa (18 psi) may develop sufficient pressures at 100degC to rupture the pressure vessel. For any sample having vapor pressure above 124 kPa (18 psi) use test method D1838.
CU-100 comes with 12 testing positions, armed with a digital controller and water replenishing device to deliver precise heat control and variable liquid level control. Within the new CU-100, improved contact between heating element and tank medium allows the bath to have a long lasting heating effect.
The design of CU-100 packs a lot of power into a single stand-alone unit. Despite being so compact, CU-100 now comes with a temperature limiting device which cuts off at 135 degree celsius and flow control which cuts off the bath in the case of low medium level in the system.
