Automatic IP Units & Lovibond® Colour
The Institute of Petroleum’s standard method IP 17 specifies that the colour of petroleum products is determined in terms of either Lovibond® values (Method A), or a restricted range of 14 colour standards IP Units (Method B). The Lovibond® PFX880/IP17 is a limited-scale, automatic colorimeter for colour measurement according to both Lovibond® RYBN Colour and IP Units. Results can also be displayed in terms of CIE values and spectral data. An integrated heater unit is available as a factory fitted option for maintaining samples such as waxes in a liquid state.

Colour Analysis made Simple
The Lovibond® PFX880/IP17 colorimeter is an easy to use, automatic instrument. The menu system guides operators through the selection of operating parameters. Thereafter, measurements are initiated by just a single key press and take less than 25 seconds to complete. When measuring IP Units of clear, water-white products, the long sample path length ensures precise colour measurements, without multiplying errors.

Confidence in Instrument Performance
The PFX880/IP17 is a rugged colorimeter with a fabricated steel housing which is
designed to function equally as a QC instrument within the laboratory or on 24 hour
operation in a production environment. A diagnostic test routine allows users to conduct periodic checks on the instrument or identify faults. For regular conformance testing the colorimeters are also supplied with a coloured glass filter from the appropriate colour scale.
