ERAVAP was designed by an internationally renowned team of vapor pressure

experts to cover a wide variety of different measurement scenarios. The first
quality that catches the eye, however, is its push-button simplicity.
The areas of application range from the use at terminals to freely programmable test methods for R&D laboratories. With its extended temperature range
from -20 to 120C (4 to 248F) and V/L ratios down to 0.02 it can cope with
the most difficult measurement scenarios as well as with routine analysis. An
auto-switching power supply unit accepting voltage inputs between 85 and
264 V complements the broad applicability of ERAVAP. In combination with a
12 V power adapter it can be even field deployed and run by a vehicle battery.

ERAVAP supports both piston-based mini methods ASTM D5191 and

D6378 for vapor pressure measurement. These methods are currently the
best received industry-wide, because they require no external vacuum
pump. Of these two, the ASTM D6378 method is even easier to carry out,
because it needs no sample preparation before the measurement. The triple
expansion measurement principle used eliminates any operator bias.
ERAVAP exceeds the precision statements of both methods.
The outstanding precision of the ERAVAP is the result of combining the innovative measurement cell design with a choice of cutting-edge instrument
parts. Among those count a self-lubricating piston drive, a built-in shaker
motor and state-of-the-art solenoid valves that prevent cross contamination
between samples. Therefore, the ERAVAP instrument clearly outperforms
the standard methods in terms of repeatability and reproducibility
(r = 0.3 kPa, R = 0.7 kPa).

On-screen Quality Control

ERAVAP performs quality assurance measurements in full compliance
with ASTM D6299. It allows to monitor up to 8 quality control samples in
parallel. This makes it easy to continuously verify the systems high performance on individual control charts for each different sample.
To perform efficient quality control, the user can set individual warning
levels to suit the measurements parameters. In ERAVAP it is possible to set
warning levels between 1 and 3 times the standard deviation. If a quality
control sample measurement falls out of this range, the instrument automatically displays a warning message. There is no need to check the control
chart manually.

Autosampler for
Unattended Analysis
The 10-position autosampler lets you
maximize your sample throughput while
saving precious operator time. The sampler
is directly attached and performs measurements without operator intervention.

Unrivaled Speed

Solid Durability

The standard measurement time of ERAVAP is as

little as 5 minutes. Paired with the unique VP-V/L
Speed TestTM this makes it the fastest vapor pressure
tester on the market. It can automatically measure
T(V/L) values according to ASTM D5188 together
with ASTM D5191 or ASTM D6378 vapor pressure
values with a single click. The measurement results
are displayed and stored under the same sample ID.
When used with the optional 10-position autosampler the analyzer can perform up to 20 fully automated measurements. There is no need for operator
intervention at all.

With its quality-centric design ERAVAP is made for

longest durability as well as peak performance. The
self-lubricating measurement cell is the instruments
centerpiece. Powerful Peltier elements for heating boost
its efficiency. Combined, these parts guarantee that the
ERAVAP is built for highest sample throughput rates
at minimum maintenance. Temperature and pressure
calibrations are performed without disassembling the
instrument, which reduces down-times to an absolute
minimum. For fastest on-site recalibration even without certified equipment it is also possible to simply use
pure substances to calibrate ERAVAP.

... for All Applications

With its innovative design ERAVAP measures gasoline, oxygenated gasoline, crude oil and LPG as well as any other solvent - even polymers can be
characterized. It is used worldwide by various refineries, terminals, oil and
pipeline companies as well as independent laboratories, car manufacturers and in aviation. A small footprint, true portability and its rugged
aluminum casing make it the ideal choice even for mobile laboratories.
It comes preconfigured with the correlation formulas developed by the US
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) for calculating the Reid vapor pressure according to ASTM D323 and ASTM D4953. The California Air Resource
Board (CARB) relies on the unrivaled precision of ERAVAP as their reference
instrument. The very same instrument is field deployed by the US
military in mobile laboratories around the world.
For special R&D applications ERAVAP offers individual programs for volatility
studies over a wide temperature range and at very low V/L ratios. Curve
programs are available for ASTM D5188, D5191, D6378, D6377 and D6897.
