The SX Series Portable Octane and Cetane Meters are advanced handheld analyzers designed for fuel and oil quality testing. These instruments provide fast, accurate, and non-destructive analysis of gasoline, diesel, biodiesel, and lubricants.
Built on high-precision microprocessor technology, the SX series allows real-time quality evaluation in the field or laboratory. Each model supports octane (ASTM D 2699/2700) and cetane (ASTM D 4737/D 613/EN ISO 5165) measurement, with additional capabilities depending on the model.
Compact, durable, and PC-connectable via USB, the SX series is trusted worldwide by oil companies, refineries, laboratories, and quality control teams.
