Fuel Oil

Multi Test Verification Material (MTVM) – Fuel Oil

Produced in general accordance with the principles of ISO 17034 and ISO 33405, the Multi Test Verification Material (MTVM) Fuel Oil provides certified values for multiple test methods and has been characterised using a network of competent laboratories to provide international traceability. It is a highly cost effective solution to help meet verification requirements for audited laboratories and those which comply with ISO 17025.

The MTVM Fuel Oil is supplied with full documentation including Safety Data Sheet (SDS), in tamper evident security packaging. It comes with a 2 year shelf life from date of manufacture.

Pack size: 500 mL.

Methods: ASTM D4052, ASTM D445, ASTM D4530, ASTM D93 (b), ASTM D97, EN ISO 2719 (b), EN ISO 3016, EN ISO 3104, IP 15, IP 34 (b), IP 365, IP 398, IP 71, ISO 10370, ISO 12185

Amount

The Fuel Oil Multi Test Verification Material allows routine monitoring of instrument performance and is also particularly helpful in training personnel on new equipment and test methods. The purchase of MTVMs is recommended with new instrumentation to assist with installation and commissioning.

Incorrect determination of a result can have far reaching financial and safety implications. The growing use of automated instrumentation increases the possibility that incorrect results may go undetected and in addition the early indication of bias is a useful warning to minimise production ‘giveaway’.

Seta MTVMs are unique because, unlike most other Certified Reference Material that are only suitable for validating a specific parameter/value, Seta MTVMs enable a user to validate different tests and instrumentation using the same sample material.

Certification: the Multi Test Verification Material (MTVM) Fuel Oil is supplied with a certificate of measurement which gives the certified value for each test method covered by the material.
