CFR FIT Cetane

[Brochure]

The latest addition to GE's Waukesha fuel testing product line-up is FIT® a fuel ignition test unit for Derived Cetane Number of Diesel Fuels. FIT measures the ignition delay of a diesel fuel under prescribed conditions and uses a simple equation to convert the measured ignition delay into a Derived Cetane Number (DCN) as outlined in the ASTM® Method D-7170-08. The FIT unit is a refinery laboratory quality control tool and ignition research instrument that is compact, easy to use and operates with short cycle times for high throughput.
