FAQs

The icon Colour Opacity analyser measures contamination, purity, and clarity of a sample. Many petroleum products have colour as part of their specification – the icon analyser provides accurate measurements and can duplicate a range of standard visual colour comparison tests. It is also particularly good at detecting dye colour and product contamination in pipeline applications.

The icon analyser can measure opacity and colour simultaneously and perform concentration measurements based on light absorption at single or multiple wavelengths.

A light source is passed through the sample and out to a dispersive spectrometer module, where measurements are carried out.

The Colour Opacity analyser performs ASTM D1500 or Saybolt D156, depending on the measuring cell pathlength. Other measuring ranges are possible – contact Icon for more details.
