With its purpose-built design, VeroAsh eliminates the inefficiencies and safety risks of conventional ash furnaces. Samples are safely pre-heated using an external electric pre-heating stage and transferred via the elevator mechanism into the furnace chamber, ensuring operator protection and consistent test conditions. Rapid heating to approximately 900 °C in 20–25 minutes, combined with stable PID-controlled temperature regulation and advanced thermal insulation, supports repeatable ash determination and accurate external gravimetric measurement for fuels, lubricants, and petroleum products in accordance with ASTM D482 and ASTM D874.
