MPC-6 Automatic Pour Cloud Freezing Point Tester
The Tanaka MPC-6 is a compact automatic tester for pour point, cloud point, and freezing point measurements. This 3-in-1 instrument requires just 4.5 mL of sample and offers quick, precise results, ideal for labs and industries analyzing oils and fuels.
Measuring just 16 cm wide, the MPC-6 optimizes bench space. It uses an energy-efficient, CFC-free cooler to reach -90°C without an external chiller. The intuitive 7-inch touch screen simplifies operation, and data connectivity via Ethernet enables seamless export to LIMS or printers. The device stores up to 50 data sets securely.
Compliant with ASTM D6749 for pour point, ASTM D7683 for cloud point and ASTM D8615 for freezing point, the MPC-6 delivers 1°C resolution for pour point and 0.1°C for cloud and freezing points. It’s designed for reliability and efficiency, making it an excellent choice for cold property testing.
