Cannon Instrument Company announces the TESC-2983 for use in the new ASTM D2983 automated Procedure D.
CANNON announced today that the Tanaka MPC-102S and MPC-102L can now be used to determine cloud point for diesel fuel oils as described in the ASTM D7683, “Test Method for Cloud Point of Petroleum Products and Liquid Fuels (Small Test Jar Method)”
We can't wait to reconnect with all our industry friends and partners this week as we host a reception on December 6th for the ASTM convention attendees.
We are pleased to announce that CANNON has been reaccredited by A2LA for ISO 17025:2005 and ISO Guide 34 manufacture of reference materials.
CANNON Instrument Company introduces new addition to the miniAV® family of viscometers.
Labs are sometimes under the mistaken impression that modern, automated viscometers that use shorter capillary tubes are out of compliance with ASTM D445/ASTM D446.
