Automatic Pour Point Tester NAPPT-101 – Low-Temperature Flow Analysis Equipment

What is Automatic Pour Point Tester NAPPT-101?

NAPPT-101 is an automated laboratory instrument that determines the lowest temperature at which petroleum products, oils, and lubricants remain flowable under controlled cooling conditions.


Quick Answer 

Automatic Pour Point Tester NAPPT-101 measures the lowest temperature at which fluids stop flowing by cooling the sample and detecting flow cessation using automated optical or pressure-based sensors.


Key Takeaways

  • Determines pour point of oils, fuels, and lubricants

  • Supports ASTM and ISO test methods

  • Automated cooling and detection system

  • Extended temperature range down to ~-80°C

  • Ensures repeatable and accurate results

  • Used in petroleum, chemical, and QC laboratories


What Is NAPPT-101 Used For?

The system is used to:

  • Measure low-temperature flow properties of petroleum products

  • Evaluate lubricant performance in cold environments

  • Ensure compliance with standardized testing methods

  • Support quality control and product development

  • Analyze fluid behavior under controlled cooling


How Does NAPPT-101 Work? (Step-by-Step)

Step 1: Sample Loading

The fluid sample is placed into the testing chamber.

Step 2: Controlled Cooling

The system cools the sample using a programmed temperature profile.

Step 3: Flow Monitoring

Sensors continuously monitor the sample for movement.

Step 4: Flow Cessation Detection

The system detects when the fluid stops flowing.

Step 5: Result Recording

The temperature is recorded as the pour point and displayed.
