VDS5000 Manual Vacuum Distillation System

Determines the range of boiling points for petroleum products that can be partially or completely vaporized at a maximum liquid temperature of 400°C at reduced pressures. The sample is distilled at a controlled, reduced pressure under conditions that are designed to provide approximately one theoretical plate fractionation. Initial and final boiling point is measured and a distillation curve relating volume percent distilled and the atmospheric equivalent boiling point temperature can be prepared. Conforms to ASTM D1160 and related specifications Comes standard with glassware set and accessories kit for "turn-key" setup and operation Equipped with digital temperature and vacuum displays for improved measurement reading and accuracy Upgrade to glassware set composed entirely of quartz available upon request Shut off valve on the tubing to prevent leaking water upon disconnect New water catch tray that slides to the side for hassle-free removal of the lower receiver (no longer requires complete disassembly of glassware) Addition of a vent valve to assist in the draining of liquid from the system Modified door hinge system to reduce the footprint of the doors when opened Conforms to the specifications of: ASTM D1160; ISO 6616; JIS K2254 Temperature Range: Ambient to 425°C (797°F) Temperature Display: 0.1°C resolution Temperature Accuracy: ±0.5°C Vacuum Range: 0.1 Torr to Atmospheric Pressure (760 Torr) Vacuum Display: 0.1 Torr resolution Vacuum Accuracy: ± 0.2 Torr External Circulator Temperature Range: Ambient +5°C to 150°C 115V 60Hz 220-240V 50/60Hz
