WAT: Wax Appearance Temperature

The WAT is not only crucial in terms of flow assurance. Knowing this parameter also helps in planning tests with our Multi-Place Cold Finger. And that is the reason why the WAT tester is available as an extension to our Multi-Place Cold Finger as well. Our WAT tester is able to measure the WAT of 3 samples in parallel, with only 20 ml of fluid per sample. This makes fast parallel testing with a blank and 2 treated samples fast and simple.

Our WAT tester's summarized advantages are:

• Parallel testing of up to 3 samples.
• Sample volume 20 ml only.
• Blank test for relative efficiency determination.
• Available as a cost-effective extension to our Multi-Place Cold Finger apparatus.
• As stand-alone version: Can use a variety of existing cooling circulators you may have in your lab already (please ask us).
• Small footprint.

• Parallel comparison of wax inhibiting agents.
• Parallel comparison of different chemical concentrations.
• Examination of the influence of varying temperatures or temperature curves.
• As cost-effective complement to your Multi-Place Cold Finger.

• No of places: 3
• Sample jars: 20 ml
• Temperature range: max 80°C, minimum temperature depends on the cooler used.
• Data display: PC and control display (fully functional stand-alone operation without PC possible)
• Measurement data storage directly on USB stick or on PC
• Software: Windows 7/8/10/11
• Power supply: 120/240 VAC @ 50/60 Hz

• Multi-Place Cold Finger for research on wax inhibitors.
• Pour Point Test according to ASTM D97.
• Measure the WAT optically with our Flocculation Tester.
• Wax Flow Loop for pipeline simulation and research on flow improvers.
• Pipeline Restart Loop for yield strength testing.
