HYDROKIT®, Fuel Test Kits

 
 

Detect Free Water in Aviation Fuel

  • Easy to use
  • Responds consistently
  • Carefully controlled quality

HYDROKIT® is a proven simple field test with consistent response in detecting free water in a wide variety of aviation jet (turbine) fuels and undyed diesel fuel.

HYDROKIT's simple evaluation by color comparison makes it easy to use. Powder in the sample tube changes to a pink color when free water is present over 30 ppm, or over 15 ppm, depending on which kit you order.

Each kit comes with sample test tubes, a wide mouth glass sample jar, needle holder assembly, instruction card and color indicator comparison card.

HydroKit® Mark II - similar in every way to our popular Hydrokit®, except with a longer shelf life than our regular Hydrokits® -- two years instead of one year.

Detects free water in excess of 30 ppm:

HK100MKII: 100 tests included per unit.

HK600MKII: 600 tests included (6 units of HK100MKII)

Detects free water in excess of 15 ppm:

HK100MKII-15: 100 tests included per unit.

Field Test Kits for Diesel and Biodiesel Fuel

Velcon offers several kits for diesel and biodiesel fuel, as follows:

VFT-0100: Water and Visual Clarity
This is a simple two-part test in which diesel or biodiesel fuel is tested for

  • Visual clarity
  • Presence of entrained (undissolved) water down to 100 ppm
  • 12 tests per unit

VFT-0145: Glycerin Field Test

This is a test for the presence of glycerin in fuel, providing results within the range of 0.05% and 0.5% of mass for biodiesel fuel. Glycerin is a byproduct of biodiesel production and should not be present in the final product. It is known to be harmful to diesel fuel systems and engines.

  • 6 tests per unit

VFT-0150: Bio-Detect Field Test Kit

The Bio-Detect Field Test detects the presence of biodiesel in standard (petroleum-based) diesel fuel. This test detects biodiesel at levels as low as 1% (B1)

  • 12 tests per unit

Each of these inexpensive field test kits can be used as an initial screening test for fuel deliveries and for periodic monitoring of fuel quality. Fuel containing water, glycerin and in some cases biodiesel can cause major problems in machinery and engines. For a small initial investment a great deal of time and money can be saved down the road by using these tests and potentially prevent work stoppage, purchase of new capital equiment, etc.
