Lot 1 An instrument for Quantification of Aviation Fuel Surface Tension, in conformity with ASTM D1331
£35,000
As a non-specification property, surface tension is a relatively-rarely-measured property that is relevant to fuel atomization in gas turbine combustors (as are viscosity and density). SAF-IC is looking to buy an automated instrument for surface tension quantification in conformity with ASTM D1331, for the UK aviation fuel-clearing house. Additional informat...
