Visual Inspection

Test Equipment

Description

Considered the 1st line of defense against contaminated product, this simple yet critical test screens for visible cloudiness, particluate, sediment, layering, or any other foreign material that should not be in the fuel. Visible impediments are an automatic indication of out of specification fuel, and all other testing is suspended if the fuel is not "Bright & Clear." A bright and clear rating is the only way to pass a sample and continue with the other specification testing. Peak Petroleum Testing Services, Inc. provides this initial Appearance inspection FREE to it's clients and there are no additional analysis charges if the sample does not pass visual inspection. This can be of great value in saving time, money, and effort in the handling of fuel products.
