The AC Analytical Controls® AC 8612 application delivers ASTM D86 correlated data for naphtha and gasoline samples within ASTM D86 groups 0, 1, and 2 in 15 minutes. It is based on fast detailed hydrocarbon analysis (DHA), and uses the PAC proprietary Fugacity Film Calculation Model for reporting accurate D86 correlated data.
The AC 8612 application resides on an easy-to-use, compact Agilent Technologies 6850 gas chromatograph, configured with:
- A flame ionization detector (FID)
- A split/splitless inlet
- An automatic liquid sampler
Test Methods
GOST 2177
Features and Benefits
Extremely accurate reporting
- Offers operator-independent results that are in line with good laboratory practice
- Exceeds repeatability requirements of D86 method, resulting in less product giveaway
- Uses dedicated AC quality control samples to assist operators in calibrating and validating the system, ensuring maximum analysis accuracy
- Incorporates True Boiling Point (TBP) reporting
High throughput
- Features a sample throughput that is twice as high as classical D86
- Cycles in 10 – 15 minutes
Fully automated
- Saves up to 75% in labor cost compared to traditional D86 labor costs
- Reduces operator involvement through software automation of analysis, data handling, and calibration
- Allows unattended, continuous analysis through a high level of automation
High levels of safety
- Eliminates potential fire hazards associated with D86 physical distillation and ensures high safety standards
