B/R Vacuum DistillationASTM D1160

Fully Automatic Vacuum Distillation According to D1160

B/R Fully Automatic ASTMD1160 Vacuum Distillation

Turn Key System:

This system includes everything needed to automatically perform a vacuum distillation

according ASTM D1160. All glassware, a complete vacuum system, circulating bath, PC and

other items needed to perform the test are mounted in an ergonomic safety cabinet. All you

need is space for the unit and a standard electrical outlet and you are ready to run a sample.

Fully Automatic:

This system performs the D1160

test automatically. Just put sample

in the boiling flask and start the

test. Everything else is done

automatically including:

n Vacuum controln Distillation rate controln Condenser and receiver temperature controln Recording of distillation data, first drop (IBP) and final boiling point (FBP)n Detection of cracking and boiling flask over-temperaturen Ending of distillation, cool down and generation of the final report

Easy to Use:

PC control automates the D1160

test from beginning to end. New and experienced operators will find this system simple to

use. The software steps you through the testing process from start up to printing of results.

Easy to understand software and easy access to all the distillation components makes

performing the test as simple as possible.

B/R Instrument CorporationB/R Instrument was founded in 1966 by Roger Roark, Sr. and Harry Brown, Jr. The name B/R

comes from the first letter of each founder’s last name, Brown and Roark – BR. Originally a

manufacturer of general glassware, the company began to specialize in the manufacture of spinning band distillation systems in 1968 under a DuPont patent. Since then the company has grown steadily

in the distillation and laboratory equipment markets and now distributes products to

customers throughout the world. Located in Easton, Maryland on the beautiful Eastern Shore of the Chesapeake Bay, the B/R facility encompasses 14,700 square feet (1,370

square meters) and houses manufacturing, sales, engineering, service and administrative divisions.
