The acid number expresses the quantity of base required to neutralize all acidic constituents of the sample. It is a quality feature for freshness of oils and fats. The base number indicates the quantity of acid which can be neutralized by additives in mineral oils.

The TAN/TBN Titrator is suitable for determination of Total Acid Number (TAN) or Total Base Number (TBN) of oils and fats. The device is conform to standards IEC 62021-1, ISO 3771, ASTM D 664, ASTM D 2896, ASTM D 4739.

Applications

The value of TAN/TBN is an indication of age and quality of oils and fats. The device is suitable for analysis of

• transformer oils
• natural and artificial fats
• mineral oil products
• lubricants
• food fats (e. g. olive oil, butter)

Advantages

• Complete measuring system for the determination of TAN/TBN (TBN = Total Base Number)
• Fully-automatic volumetric titration
• Precise adjustment of the titration parameters by control algorithms
• Preset measurement method allows an immediate start
• The result output can be adjusted to your needs by using a formula generator
