The 743 Rancimat

The 743 Rancimat is a modern, PC-controlled analytical instrument for the comfortable determination of the oxidation stability of Biodiesel (fatty acid methyl esters, FAME)
In addition to other alternative fuels such as ethanol, methanol or biogas (methane), fatty acid methyl esters are increasingly being found on the market; these are also known as biodiesel or FAME (fatty acid methyl esters).
Fatty acid methyl esters are relatively unstable on storage and as with all natural oils and fats they are slowly oxidized by atmospheric oxygen. The substances produced in this way could cause motor damage. This is why the oxidation stability is an important quality criterion for Biodiesel making it necessary for this parameter to be regularly determined during the production process.
