Volatility refers to the ability of a product or substance to evaporate under heat and/or pressure. This property is particularly significant in many sectors.
Some products, such as solvents or pharmaceutical products, need to be tested to ensure that they comply with safety standards and do not present any hazards.
Volatility testers enable us to evaluate different substances under specific conditions (temperature, pressure…) to control their boiling properties and their purity.
By testing the volatility of products, you ensure their compliance in terms of safety and performance, but you also reduce the environmental and health risks associated with the use of volatile substances.
Testing the volatility of products is important, because these substances play a key role in many sectors, including the chemical, petroleum, cosmetics and food industries.
In the petroleum industry, volatility testers are used to analyze properties of fuels such as gasoline, diesel and kerosene, ensuring their compliance with specification’s standards.
In the field of cosmetics and perfumes, they are used to assess the evaporation and stability of formulations, to optimize their staying power and efficiency. Research and development laboratories also use them to test the purity of solvents, essential oils and other chemical compounds mandatory for these applications.
Distillation is one of the most widely used methods for separating the volatile components of a mixture, enabling the determination of volatility and distillation points of products.
Normalab has a range of solutions for volatility testing, suitable for various types of laboratory testing. Our automatic, semi-automatic and manual distillation models are designed to accurately measure the volatility of substances, offering reliable and reproducible results.
Solutions for the determination of water content are also available in our range of products.
Preventing risks linked to volatility is essential to ensure everyone’s safety. Volatile substances, such as solvents or gases, must be properly controlled to prevent accidents or unintended emissions. Testing is also essential to guarantee the performance and reliability of the products analyzed.
