Carbon Residue Apparatus

About Carbon Residue Apparatus

The Carbon Residue Apparatus is a laboratory instrument used to determine the amount of carbon residue left after the evaporation and pyrolysis of petroleum products. This test provides an indication of the tendency of fuels and lubricants to form carbon deposits under high-temperature conditions.

The apparatus is designed to perform tests under controlled heating conditions, ensuring accurate and repeatable results. It is widely used in petroleum refineries, lubricant testing laboratories, research institutions, and quality control labs.
