LABCON 6 - Laboratory CRF Engine Octane Analyzer
LABCON 6, in conjunction with a CFR knock test engine, automatically determines the research or motor octane number of finished gasolines and gasoline components. LABCON 6 provides the precision and accuracy demanded by today's testing requirements. LABCON 6 provides the means to generate a more accurate octane number than previously available.

A specially designed microvalve carburetor automatically adjusts the fuel to air ratio and a proprietary algorithm determines the critical maximum knock intensity. A sample shelf and pumps allow LABCON 6 to sequentially rate up to four samples without operator assistance. The LABCON 6 system can also perform toluene standardization fuel ratings. It compares the actual ratings with Toluene tables and flags all ratings that fall outside the acceptable limits. Operation is simplified by displaying temperature tuning limits for Research and Motor methods. Additionally, LABCON 6 automatically compensates the compression ratio using an internal barometric pressure sensor. LABCON 6 increases production efficiency by allowing the personnel to operate more than one engine, or to focus on other laboratory tasks. The system has minimal calibration requirements, therefore can be operated with minimal maintenance.
