Boiling point and distillation analysis according to ASTM D1160

Computer-controlled, fully automatic system for carrying out vacuum distillations in accordance with ASTM D1160. Enables precise analysis of the boiling behavior of petroleum products, biodiesel and high-boiling products at reduced pressure up to 600 °C AET.

Maximum precision for demanding distillation analyses

The i-Fischer® Dist D-1160 CC is a fully automatic, computer-controlled system for boiling point and distillation analysis according to ASTM D1160. Designed for the analysis of petroleum products, vegetable oils, and blends, the system operates under both atmospheric pressure and vacuum—quickly, safely, and reliably.

The intelligent software control system takes over the entire distillation process autonomously - from the initial boiling point to the end point. All relevant data such as temperature curves, distillation curves (ACT and AET) and process parameters are seamlessly recorded and documented.

With a maximum temperature of 400°C (ACT) and a pressure range of 760…0.1 mmHg, the i-Fischer® Dist D-1160 CC meets the highest technical requirements. Robust design with safety enclosure and well-thought-out accessibility of all components combine maximum serviceability and operational reliability.

Perfect solution for laboratories that value accuracy, quality, efficiency and reliability in distillation analysis.
