COMPUTER-CONTROLLED AUTOMATED TITRATION APPARATUS FOR OPTICALLY DETERMINING INCOMPATIBILITY OF PETROLEUM OILS

摘要

An automatic titration apparatus for optically determining incompatibility o f petroleum oils. The apparatus includes reservoirs for oil and solvent, a sealed temperature-controlled mixing vessel, including a liquid mixer, pumps and transfer lines for dispensing oil and solvent from said reservoirs to sa id mixing vessel wherein oil and solvent are mixed to form a mixture, an aggregate detector, transfer lines for transferring said mixture to the aggregate detector, and a computer programmed to operate and monitor all elements of said apparatus.
