A1127 Automatic Pour Point Tester – ASTM D97 | LabVV

Description

The A1127 Automatic Pour Point Tester is a compact, bench-top instrument designed for accurate pour point determination of petroleum products according to ASTM D97. It is an ideal entry-level solution for laboratories that require pour point testing without the need for cloud point analysis.

With a smaller footprint and streamlined design, the A1127 is perfect for laboratories with limited bench space, quality control facilities, and field testing stations.

• Compact Bench-top Design — Smaller footprint than standard pour point testers, ideal for space-constrained labs
• ASTM D97 Compliant — Full compliance with international pour point testing standards
• Wide Temperature Range — +10°C to -65°C, covering most petroleum product pour point requirements
• Automated Operation — Microprocessor-controlled with automatic test cycle
• Color LCD Display — Intuitive user interface with real-time temperature monitoring
• Built-in Printer Port — Connect for test result printouts
• RS-232 Communication — Data export to PC/LIMS systems
• Low Maintenance — Reliable compressor-based cooling system

What is the difference between the A1127 and standard pour point testers?

The A1127 is a compact bench-top model designed for laboratories with limited space. It focuses specifically on pour point testing (ASTM D97) without cloud point capability, making it more affordable and smaller than dual-function instruments like the A1121G.

Does the A1127 require dry ice or external cooling?

No. The A1127 uses a built-in compressor-based cooling system that reaches -65°C without dry ice or liquid nitrogen. Simply plug it in and it is ready to operate.

What sample volume is required for a test?

The A1127 follows ASTM D97 which requires approximately 45 mL of sample per test position. With 2 test positions, you can run duplicate tests simultaneously.

Can the A1127 export data to a LIMS system?

Yes. The instrument is equipped with an RS-232 communication port for data export to PC or Laboratory Information Management Systems (LIMS). A built-in printer port is also available for direct result printouts.

What is the typical test duration for a pour point measurement?

Test duration depends on the expected pour point of the sample. A typical measurement cycle ranges from 30 to 90 minutes, depending on how far the sample must be cooled below its pour point.

Is the A1127 suitable for field use?

Yes. Its compact size and bench-top design make it suitable for on-site quality control laboratories, fuel depots, and field testing stations where space is limited.
