Conradson Carbon Residue
Conradson Carbon Residue having the abbreviation of “CCR” or generally known as “Concarbon” is a test conducted in the laboratory to measure the amount of carbonaceous residue remaining after the pyrolysis and evaporation of the oil. This test method indicates the coke forming tendencies of the oil.
Different Carbon Residue values can be defined for a oil or fuel depending on the measurement method used which are chiefly or most commonly used methods for estimation of carbon residues, namely :
- Conradson Carbon Residue (CCR)
- Ramsbottom Carbon Residue (RCR)
- Micro Carbon Residue (MCR)
A quantity of the sample is weighed, placed in a crucible and subjected to destructive distillation through a fixed period of severe heating. At the completion of severe heating the residue collected is cooled and weighed to be estimated as a % of weight of the original sample.
