DR10 ITR Heater Tube Deposit Rater

DR10 ITR Heater Tube Deposit Rater

Overview
DR10 is a referee instrument for jet fuel thermal oxidation studies that objectively measures heater tube deposit thickness. Using interferometric spectral reflectance, it produces a 3D map of deposits around the full tube surface and reports results in SI units for traceable, repeatable QC.

Standards and use
• Supports ASTM D3241 Annex for jet fuel thermal oxidation testing
• Relevant to ASTM D1655, DEF STAN 91-91 and related specifications
• Designed to pair with the TO10 JFTOT rig for complete test reporting

Key features
• Interferometric scanning of the entire heater tube with 3D visualisation
• Reports average and maximum thickness and calculates total deposit volume
• Standard spot evaluation for Annex reporting
• High point density scan, with typical full scan in about 12 minutes and fast modes available
• Objective, operator-independent rating with built-in calibration

Performance and benefits
• Measurement range typically from about 10 to 1,200 nm deposit thickness
• Result set includes tube image, thickness map and numeric outputs for audit trails
• Fast, automated workflow improves precision and throughput versus manual grading
• Compact, robust design for lab, refinery and mobile use

Connectivity and data
• Stores sample IDs, operator, tube serial, test temperature and rig details
• Exports reports and data for LIMS or network storage
• When linked to TO10, test conditions and DR10 ratings combine in a single report

Typical applications
• Batch release and incoming inspection for aviation turbine fuels
• Additive and fuel R&D, correlation studies and troubleshooting
• Refinery, pipeline, terminal, airport and independent lab QC

What is included
• DR10 instrument with touchscreen control, calibration utilities and data export
• Accessories and reference tubes available to support your workflow
