Columbus, OH (PRWeb) April 2, 2007 -- METTLER TOLEDO provides many different solutions for the Petrochemical Industry. METTLER TOLEDO's commitment to accuracy and quality has resulted in a highly advanced laboratory product line consisting of titration, weighing and moisture analysis, thermal analysis and density/refractive index. These innovative products increase productivity, are easy to use, and comply with Industry Standards.

Innovations in Titration

METTLER TOLEDO offers many solutions to the petrochemical industry for titration. The Titration Excellence titrators, featuring One Click TitrationTM, have been designed to be robust and extremely easy to use while taking up little desk space. This product has a long life span and its automation allows lengthy titrations automatically, saving valuable operation time. In addition, Titration Excellence titrators can be pre-programmed to perform oil industry applications such as Acid Number ASTM D664 and Base Number ASTM D2896 and D4733.

For determining water content, the METTLER TOLEDO DL39 Coulometric Karl Fischer improves laboratory productivity by having a simple design and dedicated "help" functionality to reduce training time. PC functionality allows integration into existing LIMS systems leading to a reduced error rate and less time spent on administration. The KF DL39's automation saves reagent and solvent consumption, reduces cleaning efforts, and reduces exposure to toxic substances. METTLER TOLEDO also offers the DL38 Karl Fischer titrator for volumetric measurements.

Smart Ideas in Weighing

The Petrochemical Industry relies on precise weighing for its many processes. The XP Analytical balance offers hands-free

operations which reduces contamination of the instrument and saves operation time by making the handling of sticky oil samples easier. The fully detachable draft shield also saves cleaning time. SmartGrid is a weighing pan with a grid structure offering faster results. Special clip-on accessories allow users to weigh odd-shaped containers safely; thereby, preventing spilling.

Monitoring Moisture Content

For moisture determination, the METTLER TOLEDO HB43 Halogen Moisture Analyzer offers standard and fast drying programs. The HB43's large keys enable self-explanatory operation and are proven for hard production environments and standardized analyses. The HB43 is easy to clean and requires minimum training due to simplicity and ease of use.

Thermal Analysis Solutions

In addition to titration and weighing, METTLER TOLEDO offers Thermal Analysis systems such as Differential Scanning Calorimeters (DSC) and Thermogravimetric Analyzers (TGA). These systems allow analysis of small and large sample volumes on a 34 place robotic sampler across a wide temperature range. The accuracy of the TGA system allows the production of more stable lubricants. Automation increases laboratory production and its superior balance technology leads to better results and longer lifetime of the system.

Measuring Density and Refractometry

The measurement of density and refractometry has now been made simpler by METTLER

TOLEDO. The DR45 conforms to ASTM methods D4052 and D1218 and combines the existing METTLER TOLEDO density meters and refractometers while requiring a minimum space. This combined system can automate the analysis of up to 30 samples with the SC30 autosampler. New to the portfolio is the LiQC Multi-Parameter system, allowing the simultaneous measurement of density, R.I., color and pH with data collection in a simple software package. Automate even further with an integrated bar-code scanner.

METTLER TOLEDO is a leading global supplier of precision instruments and is the world's largest manufacturer and marketer of weighing instruments for use in laboratory, industrial and food retailing applications. The Company is a leading supplier of several related analytical and measurement technologies. METTLER TOLEDO Direct Laboratory Service supports a worldwide customer base in more than 100 countries.
