In industries such as electric power, petrochemicals, and mechanical manufacturing, the acid value of oil is a crucial indicator for assessing its quality and degradation level. A high acid value not only accelerates oil oxidation and corrosion, shortening equipment service life, but may also cause environmental pollution. Therefore, accurate and rapid determination of the acid value in oils is of great significance for ensuring equipment safety, improving production efficiency, and protecting the environment. As an innovative product in the modern oil testing field, the fully automatic acid value titrator is increasingly becoming a vital detection tool within the industry, thanks to its high efficiency and precision.

Importance of the Fully Automatic Acid Value Titrator

Traditional methods for acid value determination often rely on manual operations, which are cumbersome, time-consuming, and prone to significant errors, making it difficult to meet the demands of modern industrial production for efficient and accurate testing. The advent of the fully automatic acid value titrator has fundamentally changed this situation. Through automated control, it achieves full-process automation from sample handling to result output, greatly improving testing efficiency and accuracy, reducing human error, and providing powerful technical support for oil quality monitoring.

Working Principle

The fully automatic acid value titrator operates based on the reflux method. During the testing process, the instrument first mixes the oil sample with a specific solvent and heats it to boiling under programmed temperature control using a heating bath, causing reflux. This ensures the acidic substances in the oil sample are fully dissolved and released. Subsequently, utilizing advanced laser components and a high-precision RGB color sensor, the instrument automatically controls the entire acid value titration process. It monitors changes in the solution's color to automatically determine the titration endpoint, thereby calculating the acid value of the oil sample. The entire process requires no manual intervention, achieving a high degree of automation and intelligence.

Technical Advantages

High Level of Automation: The titrator features a 7-inch color touchscreen for operation and is controlled automatically by a microcomputer. It achieves full-process automation from sample handling to result output, significantly enhancing testing efficiency.

High Detection Accuracy: Employing advanced laser components and a high-precision RGB color sensor, the instrument offers low power consumption and high accuracy. It can precisely determine the titration endpoint, ensuring the accuracy of test results.

Simple Operation: Users only need to place the oil sample into the instrument and set the relevant parameters; the instrument then automatically completes the testing process without complex manual operations.

Intelligent Management: The instrument features automatic data query functionality, allowing easy searching and printing of historical records. It can store up to 500 sets of historical data, facilitating data management and analysis for users.

Safety and Environmental Friendliness: After testing is completed, the instrument automatically discharges waste liquid and cleans the reaction vessel, reducing safety hazards and environmental pollution associated with manual handling.

The fully automatic acid value titrator is widely used for oil testing in industries such as electric power, petrochemicals, and mechanical manufacturing. It is specifically suitable for determining the acid value of various oil samples, including transformer oil, turbine oil, phosphate ester fire-resistant fluid, lubricating oil, and more. By accurately measuring the acid value of oils, users can promptly understand the quality status of the oil, providing a scientific basis for equipment maintenance and replacement.
