The water content in crude oil is an important indicator for evaluating the quality of crude oil and influencing its processing and transportation. Accurately determining its content is of vital importance to the production and operation of the crude oil industry. The common method for determining the moisture content of crude oil is distillation.

The degree of corrosion is a key indicator for measuring the ability of engine coolant to damage metal parts. During long-term circulation, engine coolant will come into contact with metals such as steel, copper and aluminum in the cooling system. If the anti-corrosion performance of the coolant is insufficient, it will cause metal rust and corrosion, which in turn will affect the heat dissipation efficiency of the cooling system. In severe cases, it may even cause component leakage and malfunction, shortening the service life of the engine. Therefore, it is necessary to measure the degree of corrosion of the coolant on the metal through professional equipment to provide a basis for the quality assessment and use of the coolant.
The corrosive impact of engine coolant is mainly related to the metal material and the usage environment. The corrosion resistance of different metals in coolant varies. For instance, commonly used cooling system metals such as 20# steel, brass, and copper have a significantly increased risk of corrosion under high-temperature and oxygen-exposed conditions. When the coolant is in a high-temperature environment (such as close to 100℃), its chemical activity increases, the reaction rate with metals accelerates, and at the same time, oxygen in the air diffuses into the coolant, which also intensifies oxidation corrosion. In addition, factors such as metal impurities and water quality within the cooling system may also indirectly promote corrosion reactions, leading to rusting and weight loss of metal test pieces.
The SH0085B Engine coolant corrosion Tester is a professional device designed and manufactured in accordance with the standards of the petrochemical industry of the People's Republic of China and ASTM D1384 "Test Methods for Engine Coolant Corrosion".

The content of mechanical impurities is a key indicator for measuring the purity of petroleum products. It refers to solid or semi-solid impurities in petroleum products that are insoluble in specified solvents. These impurities may cause equipment wear, clog oil circuits, and affect the performance of petroleum products and the service life of equipment.
The determination of mechanical impurities in petroleum products should follow a specific process: First, weigh a certain amount of the sample, dissolve it in the corresponding solvent, then filter it with a constant-weight filter paper or microporous glass filter. The residue left on the filter medium is the mechanical impurity. Finally, calculate the content of the impurity in the petroleum product by weighing its weight. The determination of different types of petroleum products (such as light oil, heavy oil, and lubricating oil) requires the selection of appropriate solvents and operating parameters based on their characteristics to ensure the accuracy of the determination results.

It has significantly enhanced the efficiency and accuracy of mechanical impurity determination in petroleum products.
Solid or semi-solid impurities that may exist in petroleum products and additives, such as sand, metal debris, carbon slag, etc., can affect the performance of oil products, such as blocking oil passages and accelerating equipment wear. Their content needs to be determined through specific methods. The determination of mechanical impurities is one of the important indicators for evaluating the purity and quality of petroleum products, especially crucial for the safety of use of lubricating oil, heavy oil and other products.

Liquid density is a key physical property of petroleum products, directly affecting the measurement accuracy during storage and transportation, as well as the product classification during production fractionation (such as fuel quality calculation, different density components corresponding to different products). Precise measurement is of great significance.
When determining the density of liquid petroleum products, it is crucial to control the temperature and select the right instrument: an increase in temperature will reduce the density, so the sample should be stabilized at a standard temperature (such as 20℃) to ensure data comparability. The density ranges of different oil products (such as gasoline and diesel) vary. Therefore, instruments with matching measurement ranges and meeting precision standards should be selected.

Petroleum demulsifiers play a key role in the petroleum industry, and their core mechanism of action and practical applications are mainly reflected in the following aspects:
firstly, the demulsification mechanism adjusts the interfacial tension by rapidly dispersing surface active ingredients to the oil-water interface, significantly reducing the interfacial tension (which can be reduced by more than 50%), causing the emulsion film to rupture, water droplets to aggregate and settle. Charge neutralization and coagulation of acidic demulsifiers disrupt the stability of emulsifiers through ion exchange, while alkaline demulsifiers break down the emulsion layer by adjusting the pH value. Both can accelerate oil-water separation.
2、 Industrial application value: Optimizing crude oil production to improve crude oil dehydration efficiency, achieving a standard water content of ≤ 0.5% for export, increasing oil recovery rate by 5-15%, directly improving economic benefits, equipment and process protection to prevent pipeline blockage and pump valve wear caused by emulsion, extending equipment life by more than 30%, reducing subsequent treatment agent dosage, reducing sludge oil content, and supporting environmental compliance to effectively separate emulsified oil from wastewater (removal rate>90%), meeting discharge standards.
Performance advantages, fast response: Most demulsifiers can complete oil-water separation within 30 minutes. Broad spectrum adaptability: suitable for different pH values (2-12) and temperature conditions (-20 ℃ to 150 ℃). Economy: Compared with traditional methods, it can reduce processing costs by 20-40%. Note: In practical applications, the type of demulsifier needs to be selected according to the characteristics of the crude oil (such as API degree and salt content). It is recommended to determine the optimal dosage through laboratory trials (usually 50-500ppm).

Hydrocarbons are the core components of petroleum. Their freezing point and pour point are key indicators for evaluating the low-temperature fluidity of oil products, directly affecting the storage, transportation and use of petroleum products such as diesel and lubricating oil in low-temperature environments.
The freezing point and pour point vary with the composition of hydrocarbons (such as wax content) : the higher the wax content, the more likely it is to crystallize at low temperatures, and the freezing point and pour point are usually higher, resulting in poorer low-temperature fluidity of the oil. By adjusting the composition (such as adding pour point depressants), its low-temperature performance can be optimized to meet the demands of different scenarios.
The determination of the freezing point and pour point of hydrocarbons hinges on the use of professional instruments to simulate a low-temperature environment and capture the critical temperature at which they lose fluidity due to waxy crystallization. The SH113 fully automatic freezing point and pour point tester is designed in accordance with the national standards GB510-2018 "Determination of Freezing Point of Petroleum Products - Automatic Micro Method" and GB3535-2006 "Determination of Pour Point of Petroleum Products".
