Mechanically Refrigerated Cold Filter Plugging Point Bath for Oil Fuel and Petroleum Testing Instruments

The Cold Filter Plugging Point (CFPP) Apparatus determines the low-temperature flow characteristics of automotive diesel fuels and gas oils, including samples containing flow-improving additives. It measures the temperature at which the sample ceases to flow through a wire mesh filter under standard test conditions. The apparatus consists of a Cold Filter Plugging Point Apparatus, vacuum system, and cooling bath, with a choice of mechanically refrigerated or dry-ice-cooled models. Manufactured by Atico Export with a focus on precision, durability, and reliable performance for petroleum fuel testing applications.
