1.2 Brief Description Of Equipment

The Falex 400 Fuel Thermal Oxidation Test Machine is
designed to measure the high temperature stability of
gas turbine fuels. It subjects the test fuel to conditions
that occur within gas turbine engine fuel systems. It
meets ASTM D3241, IP 323 and ISO 6249 standards. It
is robust, reliable and compact. ASTM D3241 Thermal
Oxidation Stability of Aviation Turbine Fuels requires a
strict conformance for the jet fuel industry for this critical
test. The Falex 400 matches results due to the critical
equipment specification that controls the heater test
section and test conditions.
The Falex 400 has been designed for years of operation,
it provides traceability, long maintenance intervals, and
reliable results.
Other features of the Falex 400:
• Automatic aeration and fuel sequence during
an ASTM D3241 test
• Priming is simple with easy access and
processor control
This machine utilizes Falex Heater Tube specimens.
Falex certifies these tubes meet all of the ASTM D3241
requirements for dimensions, surface finish and material.
Falex has proven to meet the requirements of ASTM
D3241 through participation and successful completion
of an ASTM sanctioned equivalency program.
Falex Corporation does not guarantee any specific test
results or desired functionality of this equipment outside
of its intended usage.
