Conductivity measurement in light oil products Light oil products such as aviation fuel need to be moved as quickly as possible and in large quantities. Hence, these liquids are pumped at very high flow rates through pipelines and filters. This can cause electrostatic charging of the product. The electrostatic charge can even be great enough to cause sparks – which could easily ignite a flammable gas/air mixture and cause an explosion. |

Safety measurement In order to prevent ignition from occurring, the conductivity of such liquids can be artificially raised by adding antistatic additives which dissipate the charge to the walls of the pipeline or vessel. The conductivity is strongly temperature-dependant. Therefore, conductivity and temperature are important parameters in the determination of the quantity of antistatic agent to be added. The conductivity can change depending on the ion absorption on the walls of the pipeline and on the level of contamination and condensation in the fuel. Due to these reasons, the conductivity of the liquid has to be checked again after transport has been made. MLA900 Using the special measuring instrument MLA900, conductivity and temperature can both be measured simultaneously in a liquid. More >
