Fuel Analysis Testing

Hugh’s Mechanical Equipment is a distinguished company committed to ensuring that each of our valued customers receives the utmost level of exceptional customer service.

We specialize in offering comprehensive on-site Fuel Sampling, Testing, and Analysis services for a wide range of refined fuels. Our team of professionals conducts meticulous on-site analysis testing for both summer and winter fuels, guaranteeing the optimal performance of your equipment during critical situations. Our fuel analysis procedures are conducted by highly trained chemists, and the samples are thoroughly inspected and tested by a third-party laboratory using the latest ASTM standards and other recognized fuel sampling protocols.

Our expertise encompasses various refined fuels, including #2 heating oil, diesel fuel, #4 oil, and #6 heavy oils. Our most common sampling and testing processes encompass crucial factors such as fuel stability, BTU’s per gallon, Cetane index, Viscosity, flashpoint, sulfur content, bottom solids, water content, cloud point, pour point, and microbial count CFU/ML. Regular sampling and analysis enable our customers to monitor the stability of their stored fuels and receive timely alerts when contaminates reach unacceptable levels. It is worth noting that many states and accrediting organizations mandate or highly recommend annual fuel testing.

At Hugh’s Mechanical Equipment, we also offer specialized fuel additives. As fuels tend to degrade, accumulate sediment, and potentially foster microbial growth from the time of refining until usage, we provide custom-blended fuel additives. These additives are meticulously formulated using computer-controlled equipment that precisely measures and monitors batch quality, resulting in tailor-made Fuel Additives perfectly suited to your requirements.

The amount of diesel fuel necessary for analysis depends on the specific tests being conducted. In most cases, as little as 16 ounces of fuel sampled at three different points are sufficient to obtain a complete fuel spectrum.

ASTM, which stands for the American Society for Testing and Materials, is an esteemed international standards organization. It develops and publishes voluntary consensus technical standards for a wide array of materials, products, systems, and services.

Furthermore, our hydrocarbon sampling and analysis services extend to various applications, including soil, groundwater, tank interstitials, and piping sumps.
