Reliable and easy to operate PIONA VUV analyser
The PIONA ASTM 18015 analyser can screen large numbers of gasoline samples, like spark ignition fuels, providing fast and precise hydrocarbon characterisation for each carbon number up to C12. The GC-VUV method offers a number of advantages over the often-used multidimensional method (like ASTM D6839). The single column analyser delivers full PIONA analysis, it has very stable performance, high uptimes and low operational costs compared to the multi-dimensional method. It is also known for its easy setup and low maintenance needs. In addition to PIONA analysis, the same hardware configuration also supports jet fuel testing (ASTM D8267), diesel analysis and Volatile Hydrocarbon Analysis (VHA).
EN 228 specified test method
EN 15018 and ASTM 8071 provide complete PIONA compound class characterisation for European fuel specifications such as EN 228, as an alternative to ASTM D6839. Spectroscopy Detection (GC-VUV) from VUV Analytics offers relatively simple instrumentation and automated analysis software with short runtimes and robust and reliable results.
