PMD 100 & 110
A
utomatic MicroDist Analyzer from ISL is
an innovative instrument employing leading
research and the most advanced technology.
In minutes, the PMD provides reliable distillation
characteristics in correlation to ASTM D 86.
Unique design allows true push-of-a-
button operation making the unit exceptionally
user-friendly for untrained staff with limited time
or exposure to laboratory equipment. Compact,
rugged and fully independent, the instrument
enables installation in mobile labs or on-site
locations ideal to workow reducing response time
and signicantly increasing test productivity.
Employing the most reliable principle -
physical distillation of liquid sample - the PMD
MicroDist increases operation efciency when
used for fuel screening at logistical points, for
rening process streams quality monitoring and
fuel blending.

SPECIFICATIONS
Ordering Information Model PMD 110 MicroDist Portable Analyzer
Model PMD 100 MicroDist Analyzer
Standard Test Method Correlation to ASTM D 86, ISO 3405, IP 123 and analogs
Operation Principle Physical distillation of liquid samplethe most reliable
principal to determine distillation characteristics of petroleum
products. Measures vapor & liquid temperatures by
non-inertial, low mass thermocouples, further monitoring
pressure in the distillation ask as the sample gradually
distills under atmospheric pressure. Collected data is
processed and converted to ASTM D 86-compliant format.
Sample Size 10 ml
Performance
Test Time <10 minutes for complete run
Temperature Range 0 to 400C (32 to 752F)
Sensitivity 0.1C (0.1F)
Operation
User Interface Graphic LCD display; solvent-proof alphanumeric keypad
with dedicated function keys
Calibration Automatic calibration routine with programmable frequency;
printed reports
Heating System Low mass, self-positioning low voltage heating element
(125W); fast air cooling at end of test
Measurements
Temperature Non-inertial, low mass thermocouples protected by rigid
metal thermowell for reliable operation
Pressure Built-in gauges: differential (in-ask pressure) & barometric
Volume Percent recovered or evaporated calculated against recorded
pressure variation in the ask during distillation run
Results Management
Documentation Complete method-compliant report, or custom selected
distillation points; on local screen; on external printer;
data export to LIMS or external PC via built-in RS-232 or
RS-485 interfaces
Results instantaneously reported in C or F;
Automatic barometric correction
Data Memory Locally retains 45 results;
Product Memory Up to 40 product names with associated specications
Specications Memory Up to 80 customized product specications (i.e. typical
temperature versus volume, or volume versus temperature)
PC Software Database management, results comparison, run control,
exible LIMS protocols and other functions enabled when
connected to optional Windows based PC software
Physical
Ambient Conditions Operation: 10 to 30C (50 to 86F)
