Diesel Test Kit – Density
R1,600.00
A hydrometer-based field kit for measuring the observed density of a diesel sample within the marked instrument range.
Product code: DTK-800850
Available for online ordering
Ordering and delivery: A R250 flat delivery rate is currently configured for South African orders. Fulfilment and dispatch timing are confirmed against the order and product availability.
Important testing limitation: Use the complete supplied method. A field result does not automatically identify every form of contamination or replace laboratory analysis where the risk, dispute or financial consequence is material.
Method overview
How to use the kit correctly
- Collect a representative diesel sample using a safe, clean sampling process.
- Fill the clean cylinder sufficiently for the hydrometer to float freely.
- Lower the hydrometer carefully and allow it to settle without touching the cylinder wall.
- Read and record the observed value using the supplied method and applicable temperature guidance.
- Compare the result with the relevant current specification or escalate it for suitable analysis.
Interpretation limits
What the result can and cannot tell you
- A density reading does not identify the exact contaminant or cause of an abnormal result.
- Density alone does not prove that diesel meets every applicable quality specification.
- Temperature, sample quality, equipment condition and reading technique affect the result.
- A material dispute or abnormal result may require controlled sampling and laboratory analysis.
