List of Items Tested For Each Sample
Under
the Maritec Fuel Test Program, every fuel sample
is tested in our laboratory. Every analysis report
contains 30
parameters consisting of tests determining the
physical properties of the fuel, the spectroscopic
analysis of metals and contaminants and
calculations
covering ignition quality, energy of the fuel,
storage temperatures, transfer temperatures,
engine injection temperatures and inlet
temperatures. Maritec
also provides a grading of the fuel analyzed.
