Product overview
The AFIDA Cetane Number Analyser (ASTM D613) is a revolutionary development providing you with a fully automated way of determining Indicated Cetane Number (ICN) of diesel and diesel-related fuels.
The AFIDA Cetane Number Analyser (ASTM D613) is a revolutionary development providing you with a fully automated way of determining Indicated Cetane Number (ICN) of diesel and diesel-related fuels. The AFIDA cetane analyser can analyse multiple samples in sequence and selects the samples using the 36-place autosampler. Only a small sample volume of 40 ml is required per test, with a short analysis time of approximately 25 minutes.
The analyser uses a Constant Volume Combustion Chamber (CVCC) and incorporates a unique and patented high-pressure injection system that generates fine fuel droplets similar to modern common rail injectors in most diesel engines. making it a reliable cetane number analyzer aligned with ASTM D613 testing requirements.
An ultra-robust temperature-controlled piezo-electric injector provides rapid switching and highly repeatable fuel metering, offering you improved performance and consistency when compared with solenoid-controlled injectors and pintle-type nozzles.
As a leading Cetane Number Analyzer supplier, we are dedicated to providing advanced fuel testing infrastructure and end-to-end technical support across the Middle East, serving key markets including the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Kuwait, Oman, and Bahrain.
