Portable Octane and Cetane Analyzer SX-300: Efficient Petroleum Laboratory Equipment

The SX-300 measures octane numbers (ON) and cetane numbers (CN) in fuels. It covers octane from 40 to 135 ON and cetane from 20 to 100 CN, enabling assessment of a wide range of gasoline and diesel fuels and blends.

The analyzer delivers results in approximately 1–5 seconds, allowing for rapid assessments in field and laboratory environments.

The SX-300 conforms to ASTM D 2699-86 for octane measurement and ASTM D 4737-03 for cetane measurement, ensuring alignment with recognized testing standards.

Yes. The SX-300 is compact and lightweight, weighing around 0.5 kg, which makes it highly portable and suitable for both field and laboratory use.

Common applications include fuel quality testing, petroleum laboratory analyses, automotive testing, and routine quality control in the fuel industry.

The SX-300 is designed to evaluate gasoline and diesel fuels and their blends within the stated octane and cetane ranges. For uncommon or specialty fuels, verify compatibility with the manufacturer or user manual.

The SX-300 is designed for precise measurements and complies with the cited ASTM standards. Actual accuracy and precision depend on proper sample preparation, device calibration, and operating conditions—follow laboratory procedures and the user manual for best results.

Calibration frequency depends on your laboratory quality system and usage. Follow the manufacturer's calibration recommendations and your internal QA/QC schedule. Contact the vendor for certified calibration services or traceable reference standards.

Routine maintenance typically includes keeping the sample area clean, using recommended cleaning agents, inspecting for damage, and following any preventive maintenance procedures in the user manual. Schedule periodic checks and recalibration as needed.

Because the instrument tests flammable fuels, use it in a well-ventilated area, follow laboratory safety protocols, wear appropriate PPE (gloves, eye protection), and avoid open flames or ignition sources. Refer to the safety section of the user manual for complete guidance.

The SX-300 is built with an expected useful life of six years, assuming normal use and appropriate maintenance.

The SX-300 provides quick on‑device results display. For details about data logging, export formats, or connectivity (USB, Bluetooth, etc.), consult the product specifications or contact the manufacturer, as features may vary by configuration.

Some applications may require consumables such as calibration standards, cleaning materials, or sample containers. Accessories (carrying cases, protective covers, calibration kits) may be available—check with the vendor for compatible items.

Warranty terms and after‑sales support vary by supplier and region. Check warranty details with the manufacturer or the authorized distributor at the time of purchase. For repairs, calibration services, and technical support, contact the vendor or manufacturer service center.

Refer to the SX-300 user manual supplied with the instrument for step‑by‑step operating instructions, safety information, calibration procedures, and maintenance guidance. If you do not have the manual, contact the manufacturer or your distributor to obtain a copy.
