Product Overview

The 8 Place Swing Out Rotor is a robust and essential component for laboratories focused on the meticulous analysis of diesel fuel quality. Engineered for precision, this rotor is specifically designed to facilitate the accurate determination of dust concentrate in diesel fuel filters, a critical parameter for engine longevity and performance. Manufactured from high-grade anodized aluminum, the rotor offers exceptional durability and resistance to chemical corrosion, ensuring a long operational lifespan even under frequent use in demanding environments. Each unit comes complete with eight high-quality borosilicate glass tubes, renowned for their chemical inertness and thermal shock resistance, providing a reliable containment solution for samples during centrifugation. The swing-out design allows tubes to pivot to a horizontal position during rotation, effectively separating particulate matter to the bottom of the tube with minimal wall effects. This advanced design ensures optimal sedimentation and highly reproducible results, making it an indispensable tool for quality control, research, and material analysis within the petroleum and automotive industries. Its sturdy construction and meticulous balancing contribute to smooth, vibration-free operation at high speeds, enhancing safety and extending the life of your centrifuge equipment. This rotor is an investment in accuracy and efficiency for any facility conducting diesel fuel particulate analysis.

FAQs

1. What material is the rotor constructed from?

The rotor body is constructed from high-grade anodized aluminum, offering excellent durability and resistance to chemical corrosion commonly found in laboratory settings. The accompanying tubes are made from robust borosilicate glass.

2. Are replacement glass tubes available for this rotor?

Yes, replacement borosilicate glass tubes specifically designed for this 8 Place Swing Out Rotor are available for purchase separately to ensure continued operation and sample integrity.

3. Which centrifuge models are compatible with this swing out rotor?

This rotor is designed for compatibility with a range of standard laboratory centrifuges that can accommodate a 20 cm diameter swing-out rotor. Please refer to your centrifuge’s manual for rotor compatibility specifications or contact our technical support for assistance.

4. How should this rotor be cleaned and stored after use?

After each use, the rotor and glass tubes should be thoroughly cleaned with a mild detergent and deionized water, then air-dried. Store the rotor in a dry, dust-free environment, preferably in its original packaging or a dedicated storage container to prevent damage and contamination.

5. What are the primary benefits of using a swing out rotor for dust concentration?

Swing out rotors ensure optimal particle separation by allowing tubes to achieve a horizontal position during centrifugation, which minimizes wall effects and provides a more compact sediment pellet. This design is crucial for accurate and reproducible dust concentrate determination, particularly in applications like diesel fuel analysis.
