Cloud Point Measurement

Kittiwake's Cloud Point Detectors are automatic devices, used for detecting the temperature at which wax crystals form in a translucent oil sample. This causess the oil to become cloudy in appearance, hence the term "cloud point".
The measurement of cloud point is of importance to the marine industry, particularly in climates with low ambient temperatures. If the temperature drops below the cloud point, wax crystals forming in the fuel may block filters and cause fuel delivery problems.

This device operates by cooling an oil sample and monitoring the intensity of light transmitted through it. The unit allows cloud point tests to be carried out before accepting the fuel and a normal test takes less than 10 minutes.
