Shell Water Detector Capsules for Jet Fuels, Box of 80 Capsules
The aviation industry's test system of choice, employed over 8 million times a year around the world. Using a syringe fitted with a Shell Water Detector capsule, it only takes a matter of moments to check the fuel at any stage of your delivery system. And these capsules are probably the most cost-effective safety measure you'll ever introduce.
Supplied in boxes, each box containing 8 tubes of 10 capsules per tube (total 80 capsules)
The capsules are used to determine the presence of finely dispersed undissolved water in jet fuel at concentrations lower than normally detectable by visual examination.
1 Box of 80 Capsules is 110 x 90 x 45 mm, 225 g
1 Outer box of 50 Boxes (of 80 Capsules) is 245 x 235 x 470 mm, 11.55 Kg
LIFESPAN:
- Shell Water Detector Capsules have a lifespan of 9 months from date of manufacture.
- Once manufactured they are independently tested, reducing this by up to 1 month by the time distributors recieve them.
- The lifespan when they leave Oilybits Ltd will therefore be between 7-8 Months.
Water Sensitivity| Fuel | Point at which water droplets are visible |
| Jet Fuel | At 15 ppm the centre is greenish yellow; at around 30 ppm it is a distinct green. Note that different dispersed water limits (30 ppm or 15 ppm) can apply depending on the QA standards in place, see IATA guidance material or ATA 103 for details |
Available seperately are Reverse-Action, and Standard-Action Syringes. The Reverse-Action Syringe enables single-handed operation, the syringe is used to extract a fuel sample from any part of the fuel system, and then the sample is injected into the Shell Water Detector Capsule.
