Fuels Testing Using AD Systems Instruments: Thermal Oxidation Stability of Jet Fuels and SAF
Improved Precision Through Innovations
SciMed Webinar
6th May
10:00-11:00 BST
Event Summary
Live webinar discussing the AD Systems TO10 JFTOT unit and how innovative pumping and cooling systems can improve test precision.
SciMed will host an online webinar with guest speaker Benoit Decanter from AD Systems. The session will introduce the AD Systems TO10 Thermal Oxidation Stability unit and demonstrate how its innovative pumping and cooling systems can improve test precision for jet fuels and sustainable aviation fuels.
Attendees will learn how the TO10 supports ASTM D3241 testing by improving reliability, stability and repeatability during thermal oxidation stability analysis.
The webinar will include a technical presentation followed by a live Q&A session where attendees can ask questions about instrumentation, testing methodology and implementation in fuels laboratories.
