Cold Finger cCF6

The Coaxial-Shear Cold Finger cCF6 is a high-performance laboratory device developed to analyze wax deposits and evaluate the efficiency of wax and paraffin inhibitors under realistic shear conditions. It features six rotating cold fingers housed in a temperature-controlled water bath, allowing for simultaneous testing and reproducible results.

A pneumatic lift system simplifies handling by enabling safe and quick access to samples and measuring sleeves—enhancing both safety and efficiency during operation.

With its compact, modular design, the cCF6 delivers exceptional ease of use, accurate measurement, and high flexibility. Its ability to control and replicate shear conditions across all measuring stations makes it ideal for advanced research and quality control in the petroleum and crude oil industries.

Cold Finger CF6

The Multi-Place Cold Finger CF6 is a laboratory instrument designed to analyze wax deposits and evaluate the effectiveness of wax and paraffin inhibitors. It features six measuring stations arranged in a conventional water bath, enabling simultaneous testing and significantly reduced measuring times.

Expanding the trusted PSL Cold Finger product family, the CF6 stands out with its compact, space-saving design and an integrated sample lift. This ensures precise positioning of the cold fingers in the sample bottles, offering users enhanced convenience, improved safety, and more accurate results.

Tailored for laboratories with low to medium sample volumes, the CF6 is an ideal entry-level solution for cold finger measurements in crude oil and petroleum product testing.

Cold Finger mCF2

The Mobile Cold Finger mCF2 is a compact, transportable device designed to test wax and paraffin deposits and assess the efficiency of inhibitors in crude oils. With two measuring stations and a minimal footprint, it is ideal for low-throughput laboratory testing or on-site use in the field, independent of a traditional lab setup.

For over a decade, PSL has set the standard in Cold Finger technology—pioneering methods that allow for multiple measurement intervals per sample and delivering highly precise results with weight-adjusted sleeves.

Now, the proven precision of PSL Cold Finger instruments is available in a mobile format. The mCF2 maintains the same level of comfort, accuracy, and reliability as its larger counterparts, making it the new standard for professionals who need mobility without compromising performance.

Mobile Differential Scale Loop (mDSL)

Faster, Easier, and More Flexible Inspection of Scale Deposits in Pipelines

The mobile Differential Scale Loop (mDSL) is an advanced tube-blocking system designed for on-site analysis of crystalline deposits from aqueous solutions—such as salts, carbonates, sulfates, iron compounds, sugars, and geothermal fluids. No longer confined to the laboratory, the mDSL offers the flexibility to conduct tests directly in the field or at the customer’s location.

COLD FINGER CF 15

The PSL Coldfinger CF 15120 is equipped with up to 15 measuring places for multi-place testing. Combining multiple cold fingers in one heating bath facilitates screenings on wax inhibitors, e.g. simultaneous testing of different chemicals on a single sample or testing of different inhibitor concentrations with the same sample. The Cold Finger can be run with separate temperature control and stirring speed for each rack of 5 measuring places, thus reducing full test procedure for a single sample immanently. The dry bath allows a precise temperature control up to +120 °C / +248 °F.

DIFFERENTIAL DYNAMIC SCALE LOOP

The Differential Dynamic Scale Loop (DSL) by PSL Systemtechnik as a fully automated laboratory device is a tube blocking system to examine the precipitation and deposition of scale and other salt crystals in pipework systems like oil or water pipelines.

DYNAMIC STABILITY LOOP

The Dynamic Stability Loop (DySL) by PSL Systemtechnik was designed to test long-term stability of umbilical chemicals in the lab at very stringent conditions. The DySL combines up to six loops for measurements of long-term changes of viscosity and tube blocking tendencies at pressurized conditions.

FLOCCULATION TITRIMETER FT5

Measure precipitation and crystalisation of asphaltenes in very dark, undiluted crudes and oil products with the automated Flocculation Titrimeter FT5

Oil Airation Machine (Foam)

Our FOAM (Flucon Oil Aeration Machine) is a compact aggregat which contains a 40 Liter tank (type FOAM S), that can be easily integrated into your fluid circuit as a reservoir, where it then produces consistent air-in-oil dispersions. If you favor an external installation, with an aeration unit added to your pre-existing open reservoir, you may prefer our FOAM XL-x, which we also recommend if higher flow rates of up to 60 l/min (15 gpm) of aerated oil are required. If you need even more than that, we also offer extra-large custom FOAM units. No matter what type of FOAM you prefer: Aeration testing is very easy with this plug-and-play unit. Simply set up a gas concentration (CG set = 0.50 – 25.00 vol.-%*) for your specific oil. The FOAM will immediately add the desired amount of dispersed gas to your fluid. This procedure will be carried out fully-automatically, with no compressed air supply required. When the gas concentration reaches the required level the “FOAM ready” lamp lights up and you can go ahead and pump the aerated oil through your circuit.

H2S ANALYZER 320 (DYMS)

The portable H2S Analyzer 320 (DyMS) was developed for determination of H2S content in bitumen, asphalt, crude and heavy oils and refinerey products. The measuring method of the H2S Analyzer 320 (DyMS) allows accurate measurements in liquid and gas phase.

POUR POINT TESTER PPT 45150

The portable Pour Point Tester PPT 45150 by PSL Systemtechnik is a compact lab instrument to measure the no-flow point and calculate the pour point of oils and oil products. The PPT 45150 measures according the rotational method ASTM D5985.

CGS Inline Aeration Meter

The CGS (Concentration Gas System) is an inline measuring system for the continuous determination of the gas content in fluids. The system works regardless of the size and shape of the entrained gas portions in the fluid. Therefore both finely dispersed microbubbles as well as large air pockets can be detected correctly in the passing medium, with their percentage by volume displayed in real time. The following parameters are determined by the CGS: • temperature (−30 °C to 150 °C) • pressure (max. 10 bar) • gas content CGp at measured pressure • gas content CG0 at atmospheric pressure (recalculation according to the ideal gas law)
