Use in ASTM D96 Testing

This centrifuge tube is manufactured in accordance with ASTM D96, the standard test method for determining water and sediment in crude petroleum by centrifugation.

Its pear-shaped design concentrates the sedimented phase at the bottom of the tube, making the separated volumes easier to read. The graduated scale features variable subdivisions across different measurement ranges, allowing accurate interpretation of water and sediment volumes according to the amount present in the sample.
