Cloud and Pour Point Apparatus
Product Code : JA-ALI-1579
The Cloud and Pour Point Apparatus (SKU JA-ALI-1579) is used to find the pour point of an oil, the lowest temperature at which the oil will still just flow when cooled under set conditions. JaincoLab builds this cloud and pour point apparatus around a stainless steel cooling bath and a jacketed glass test jar, for petroleum testing laboratories, quality-control departments and engineering colleges that study the cold-flow behaviour of lubricating and fuel oils.
Specifications
The apparatus consists of a main cooling bath made from stainless steel sheet on a stand unit, with a drain plug and a cover that carries a thermometer fitting and a filling aperture for the freezing mixture; the oil sample is held in a glass jar with its jacket, disc and gasket.

Applications of the cloud and pour point apparatus
The apparatus is used wherever the low-temperature flow of an oil has to be checked: the sample is cooled in the jacketed jar inside the freezing-mixture bath and observed at set intervals until it stops flowing, giving the pour point used in oil specifications and product data sheets.
- Pour point determination of lubricating oils and fuel oils in petroleum testing laboratories
- Routine cold-flow checks on incoming or outgoing oil batches in quality-control departments
- Practical work on petroleum product properties in chemical and petroleum engineering colleges
- Research on additives and blends that change the low-temperature flow of oils
