Gum Content Tester
Gum Content Tester Description
The Existent Gum Solid Block Bath is designed to carry out up to five simultaneous tests for determining existent gum content in fuels by the Jet Evaporation method as per ASTM D381.
The unit comprises a solid block bath with integral steam superheater, removable taper-fit conical steam/air jet adaptors with copper screens, and a steam/air flow control valve and gauge. The bath has five test wells and a thermometer well. Outlets can be individually checked for uniform flow of air or steam. making it a reliable gum content tester.
