Product Overview
Cloud point and pour point are indicators of the lowest temperature of utility for petroleum products. The sample is periodically examined while it is being cooled in the cloud and pour point apparatus. The highest temperature at which haziness is observed (cloud point), or the lowest temperature at which movement of the oil is observed (pour point), is reported as the test result.
Ref. Standards
IS:1448(Part10),ASTM D 2500 IP 219, ISO 3015 Low temperature properties of oils are evaluated by cloud point tests.
Cloud and Pour Point
The pour point is lowest temperature at which the oil will just fail to flow.
This is made according to specification laid by IP 15 & IS 1448 (P : 10) 1970.
The apparatus Consists main cooling bath made out of S.S. sheet and stand unit with drain plug and cover has provision for fitting thermometer and a filling aperture for adding freezing mixture.
