Existent Gum Bath

Existent Gum Bath

Gum formed during fuel storage can deposit on induction system surfaces, intake valves, stems and guides. To test for gum content, a 50mL sample is evaporated in an aluminum block bath for a specified period under controlled conditions of temperature and flow of air (aviation and motor gasolines) or steam (aircraft turbine fuel).

• Conforming to ASTM D381 and related specifications

• Choice of three-unit and six-unit model

• Available with built-in steam superheater

• Microprocessor programmable high accuracy temperature control

• Built-in pressure regulators and air flowmeters
