THE SCHEDULE.

NATURE OF THE TEST APPARATUS,

The apparatus is known as the Abel Petroleum Tester aule msists of the following parts :—

1. The oil-cnp;

2. The cover, with slide test-lamp and elockwork arrangement for opening an lelosing the holes in the

cover and for dipping the test flame ;

3. The water-bath or heating vessel;

4. The tripod stand, with jacket and spirit lamp for heating the water-bath;

5. The thermometer for indicating the temperature of the oil in the oil-cup ;

6. The thermometer for indicating the temperature of the water in the water-bath ;

7. The thermometer for indicating the temperature of the oil before it is poured into the oil-cup ;

8. The dropping bottle or pipette for replenishing the test-lamp ; and

9. A barometer.

The oil-cup is a cylindrical flat-bottomed vessel, made of gun-metal or brass, and tinned or silvered inside. A gange is fixed to the inside of the cup to regulate the height to which it is to be filled with the sample under examination.

The eup is provided with a close-fitting overlapping cover, which carries the thermometer, the test-lamp, and the adjuncts thereto. The test-lamp is suspended upon two supports by means of trummions, which allow it to be easily inclined to a particular angle and restored to its original position. The socket in the cover, which is to hold a round bulb thermometer for indicating the temperature of the oil during the testing operation, is so adjusted that the bulb of the latter is always inserted in a definite position below the surface of the liquid.

The cover is provided with three holes, one in the centre and two smaller ones close to the sides. These are closed and opened by means of a pivoted slide. When the slide is moved so as to uncover the holes, the suspended lamp is caught by a projcetiou fixed on the slide, and tilted in such a way as to bring the end of the spout just below the surface of the lid. As the slide noves back so as to cover the holes, the lamp returns to its original position. Upon the cover, in front of and in a line with the nozzle of the lamp, is fixed a white bend, the diameter of which represents the size of the test-flame to be used.
