Laboratory Solutions for Petrochemical & Oil/Gas
Petroleum laboratories require a comprehensive suite of instruments for product quality control, compliance with international specifications (ASTM, IP, ISO, EN), and process monitoring. From crude oil characterisation to finished fuel release testing, accurate measurement is critical. Wirsam Scientific is the authorised Southern African distributor for Eralytics, Rigaku petroleum analysers, Nittoseiko Analytech titrators and Karl Fischer meters, Scavini flash point testers, and Iludest distillation systems — providing a complete fuel testing laboratory solution.
What We Help You Analyse
Wirsam instruments support the full range of analytical requirements in this sector.
Common Laboratory Challenges
Analytical problems this industry faces and how our instruments address them.
Fuel Product Specification
Flash point, vapour pressure, density, viscosity, and distillation testing to ASTM, IP, and EN standards for petrol, diesel, jet fuel, and lubricants. Ensuring fuels meet national specifications before release to market.
Ultra-Low Sulphur Compliance
Ultra-low sulphur determination in fuels at ppb levels for compliance with Euro 5/6 and South African fuel specifications. Critical for refinery operations and fuel import verification.
In-Service Oil Monitoring
FTIR oil condition monitoring detects oxidation, nitration, sulphation, water ingress, and additive depletion. Predictive maintenance for critical machinery and transformer oil management.
Physical Property Testing
Density, kinematic viscosity, cloud point, pour point, and CFPP across temperature ranges. Essential for product blending optimisation and cold climate performance specifications.

Frequently Asked Questions
A basic fuel QC laboratory requires: flash point (ERAFLASH or Scavini Pensky-Martens), vapour pressure (ERAVAP), density (ERADENS), kinematic viscosity (ERAVISC), and distillation (Iludest D86). For sulphur compliance, add the Rigaku Micro-Z ULS. The ERASPEC FTIR provides rapid multi-parameter results for blending labs.
The Rigaku Micro-Z ULS EDXRF spectrometer measures sulphur in diesel, gasoline, and jet fuel at ppb levels, complying with ASTM D4294, D7039, and ISO 20847. The Nittoseiko Analytech NSX-5000H uses combustion UV-fluorescence for ultra-trace N/S/Cl analysis.
Yes. The Eralytics ERALAB FTIR oil condition monitor provides rapid in-service lubricant analysis. Combined with the CA-310 Karl Fischer for water quantification and the GT-310 titrator for TAN/TBN, you have a complete used oil analysis capability.
Yes. All Eralytics, Scavini, Nittoseiko Analytech, and Rigaku petroleum testing instruments comply with the relevant ASTM, IP, ISO, and EN test methods. We provide documentation and can assist with ISO 17025 accreditation.
