Total Acid Number Tests (TAN testing) helps to Significantly Reduce Downtime

Product Code: FG-K17100-KW 

Total Acid Number Tests (TAN Testing) is a measure of both the weak organic acids and strong inorganic acids present within oil. Testing for TAN is essential to maintain and protect your equipment, preventing damage in advance. A rise in TAN is indicative of oil oxidation due to time and/or operating temperature. Trend as well as absolute values should be used to monitor TAN levels. 

The ECON TAN Drop test & Free Fatty Acid Test kit comes in a sturdy case containing all necessary reagents and equipment for a fully portable Acid Number test. Using a smaller sample size and a clear container, result is shown by a colour change after adding titrant (drop wise from a dropper bottle) into the mixing vessel..




Application:Turbine, Gear, Biodiesel & Hydraulic Oils
Number of Tests:25
Range:0-6 TAN (Turbine, Gear & Hydraulic Oils), 0-3% Free Fatty Acids (Biodiesel Production)
