Rudolph Research Analytical J57AB/J157AB Automatic Refractometers
  • Information

J57AB/J157AB Refractometers (Refraktometer) for measurement
of urea concentration (WU) in diesel engine fuel additives.

Standards

Designed specifically for the petroleum industry and specifically for measurement of urea, (WU) in diesel engine fuel additives, in accordance with DIN 70071 and ISO 22241-2.

Basic Operation

The J57AB is a sub-model of the fully automatic, bench-top, digital J57HA and most details on Technical Bulletin 915 apply. The J157AB is a sub-model of the J157 and most details on Technical Bulletin 911 apply. The differences between the AB models and the standard models are:

Temperature

Both instruments have enhanced temperature performance to better than 0.02° C, meeting the requirements of DIN 70071 and ISO 22241-2 to ultimately deliver more accurate and consistent WU Number measurements..

Scale

The Rudolph J57AB refractometer is ideal for the petrochemical and petroleum industries working with diesel fuels as it displays results in refractive index (RI) which the operator may then use to automatically calculate, display, and print the WU number from the internal scale system. The Rudolph J157AB has the WU calculations built-in.

Optional Accessories

The Rudolph Research J Series AB refractometers can be supplied with the same range of accessories as the standard J Series, including:

  • Printers
  • Computer software
  • SD card drive
  • Barcode reader
  • Automatic sipping system
  • Autosampler
