Multi-Function Pour Point, Cloud Point & Cold Filter Plugging Point Tester

Multi-Function Pour Point, Cloud Point & Cold Filter Plugging Point Tester

Qualitest’s advanced QualiMFPT™ D97 Multi-Function Low Temperature Properties Tester is a high-precision, fully automatic solution designed to measure the pour point, cloud point, solidification point, and cold filter plugging point (CFPP) of petroleum products and biodiesel with exceptional accuracy.

Built for reliable performance and consistent results, this system complies with key international testing standards including ASTM D97, ASTM D2500, ASTM D6371, and IP 309.

By integrating multiple low-temperature testing methods into a single compact platform, the QualiMFPT™ D97 enhances laboratory efficiency and streamlines cold flow property analysis. It is an ideal choice for petroleum testing laboratories, refineries, and quality control environments that require precise and repeatable test outcomes.

Why Low-Temperature Testing Matters

Low-temperature flow behavior plays a key role in assessing how fuels and lubricants perform in cold environments. If products fail to meet required specifications, issues such as fuel gelling, restricted flow, or engine malfunction may occur.

Common Materials Evaluated

• Diesel fuels and biodiesel blends

• Lubricating oils

• Hydraulic fluids

• Crude oil samples

• Specialty chemical formulations

By analyzing key parameters such as cloud point, pour point, cold filter plugging point (CFPP), and solidification point, producers and suppliers can maintain compliance with performance, safety, and environmental requirements.

Supported Test Methods & Standards

• ASTM D97 – Standard method for determining pour point of petroleum products

• ASTM D2500 – Standard method for cloud point measurement

• ASTM D6371 – Cold Filter Plugging Point testing for diesel and heating fuels

• IP 309 – CFPP determination using automated testing systems

This system streamlines temperature-sensitive and time-critical testing with high accuracy and reduced operator involvement, helping minimize variability often seen in manual procedures.

Applications

• Petroleum & Refining – Evaluation of fuel and base oil performance in cold conditions

• Biodiesel & Biofuels – Verification of cold flow behavior in renewable fuel blends

• Automotive & Aviation – Testing fuels and lubricants under low-temperature stress

• Energy & Transport Sectors – Supporting regulatory compliance for storage and operation

• Research & QA/QC Laboratories – Development and validation of fuel formulations

Reliable low-temperature testing helps ensure fuels and lubricants maintain consistent performance under demanding cold weather conditions using an integrated approach for cloud point, pour point, and CFPP analysis.
