K88539 Automated Air Release Analyser

K88539 Automated Air Release Analyser

Overview
The K88539 is a fully automated analyser for determining the air release value of turbine, hydraulic and lubricating oils. It heats the sample to the set temperature, sparges with compressed air and measures the time for entrained air to dissipate, delivering objective, repeatable results for QC and specification testing.

Standards
• ASTM D3427
• IP 313
• ISO 9120
• DIN 51381
• NF E 48-614
• NF T 60-149
• BS 2000 Part 313

Key features
• Integrated touchscreen control with guided workflow
• Automatic lift moves the test vessel between air source and balance sinker
• Automatic density determination for air release value calculation
• Integrated circulation bath with level indicator
• Integrated balance and secure air tube clamp
• Automated draining of the jacketed test vessel
• Safety shield and LIMS compatible data export

Performance and benefits
• Objective digital imaging and sensors remove operator subjectivity
• Consistent timing and density correction improve precision and traceability
• Short test cycles support high throughput in busy labs
• Ambient to 75 °C test temperature range

Typical applications
• Refinery, blending plant and lubricant manufacturer QC
• Aviation turbine and kerosene specification testing
• Hydraulic and turbine oils development and benchmarking
• Incoming goods checks and batch release

What is included
• K88539 instrument with touchscreen, circulation bath and integrated balance
• Test vessel, air flow control, clamps and accessories to run the standard method
• USB or network data export; LIMS connectivity options

Summary
The K88539 automates ASTM and IP air release testing with precise temperature control, automatic density calculation and robust safety features, providing fast, traceable results that improve accuracy, repeatability and laboratory productivity.
