Revolutionary Advancement in Jet Fuel Thermal Oxidation Testing

PAC announces the introduction of the Alcor Intelligent Heater Tube™ (IHT), an innovative and revolutionary advancement in traceability and security for jet fuel thermal oxidation testing. The IHT securely stores the important data associated with jet fuel thermal oxidation test in a small Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) device permanently mounted on the end of the Alcor Heater Tube. This keeps tube and results data together inseparably, facilitating traceability and ensuring accuracy.

Jet fuel thermal oxidation tests (JFTOT®) are critical for determining the quality of jet fuels. With JFTOT® it is crucial to have testing materials meeting strict dimensions and composition controls. Alcor by PAC, has delivered this high level of quality and reliability for more than thirty years. Alcor heater tubes provide superior performance and produce reliable

results, but until now, archiving data meant keeping heater tubes and data separately. Quality audits require matching data with heater tubes. Audits can turn up mismatched data due to poor record keeping or simple transcription errors. The IHT now enables simplification of record keeping, improves traceability, and minimises audit headaches. The Alcor Intelligent Heater Tube™ is the only heater tube on the market that can electronically store all the important data from JFTOT® instruments directly onto the heater tube. With the IHT Reader-Writer, a unique electronic identification

device, the IHT provides detailed traceability of tests and easy access to stored data. Data can be transferred from the JFTOT® instruments either directly or via computer interface, or can be entered directly through MS Windows® based application.
