InfraCal 2 ATR-E - Ethanol In Gasoline Analyzer  

Request Free Quote

The InfraCal 2 Biofuel Analyzer is a low-cost, single wavelength analyzer with filters preset for a particular measurement – either biodiesel in diesel or ethanol in gasoline. Biodiesel has a characteristic infrared absorption band at 5.73 μm (1745 cm-1). Ethanol’s infrared absorbance is at 9.6 μm (1045 cm-1). As the biodiesel or ethanol percentage increases, the infrared absorbance increases. An internal calibration table in the InfraCal 2 Biofuel Analyzer converts infrared absorbance to a digital readout in percent. A fuel sample is placed directly on the exposed ATR sample window and after 10 seconds the percent biodiesel or percent ethanol is displayed. The fuel is easily cleaned off the window using a solvent and a wipe and the analyzer is ready for the next sample. The InfraCal 2 Biofuel Analyzers are ideal where a single, repetitive analysis is needed.

The InfraCal 2 Ethanol Blend Analyzer for measuring percent ethanol in gasoline is the ideal solution where a quick, accurate, on-site measurement is required and a single, repetitive ethanol blend analysis is needed.  The InfraCal 2 ATR-E is based on proven IR technology, and used by fuel terminals, laboratories and regulatory agencies worldwide.  The compact, easy-to-use InfraCal 2 ATR-E has a measurement range of 0-20 & 70-98%% ethanol in gasoline and an accuracy of +/- 0.2%. These results are comparable to ASTM D4815.  

Samples are applied to a  zinc selenide attenuated total reflectance (ATR) sample plate and easily cleaned with a cloth & isopropyl alcohol.  No solvents requiring special ventilation, expensive waste disposal or difficult to clean cells are needed. The analysis can be done by non-technical personnel with no formal training and is ideal for lab or field use. The InfraCal2 ATR-E has a touch screen display, data storage and transfer, a multi-language interface and password protected settings.  The internal battery pack allows for portability and up to 12 hours continuous use, providing results in under a minute at a fuel loading rack, in a laboratory or at a pump in a fueling station.

  • Measurement range: 0 - 20 & 70 - 98% ethanol in gasoline
  • Instrument repeatability: +/- 0.2%
  • Compares to ASTM D4815
