Multi-Function Pour Point, Cloud Point & Cold Filter Plugging Point Tester
Qualitest’s advanced Multi-Function Low Temperature Properties Tester QualiMFPT™ D97 is a high-performance, fully automatic system designed to determine the pour point, cloud point, solidification point, and cold filter plugging point (CFPP) of petroleum products and biodiesel. Engineered for precision and efficiency, it conforms to international test standards including ASTM D97, ASTM D2500, ASTM D6371, and IP 309.
This multi-purpose tester consolidates multiple testing protocols into a single compact unit, making it ideal for petroleum labs, refineries, and quality control facilities that need accurate, repeatable results for cold flow properties.

Why Low Temperature Testing Matters
Low-temperature flow properties are critical for evaluating the performance and usability of fuels and lubricants in cold climates. Failure to meet industry specifications can lead to fuel gelling, flow obstruction, or engine failure.
Common materials tested include:
- Diesel fuels and biodiesel blends
- Lubricating oils
- Hydraulic fluids
- Crude oils
- Specialty chemicals
By measuring properties such as cloud point, pour point, CFPP, and solidification point, manufacturers and distributors can ensure compliance with safety, performance, and environmental standards.
Supported Test Methods & Standards
- ASTM D97 – Standard Test Method for Pour Point of Petroleum Products
- ASTM D2500 – Standard Test Method for Cloud Point of Petroleum Products
- ASTM D6371 – Cold Filter Plugging Point of Diesel and Heating Fuels
- IP 309 – Determination of CFPP using automated test equipment
Our system automates these time-sensitive and temperature-sensitive tests with extreme accuracy and minimal operator input, eliminating inconsistencies associated with manual methods.
Applications
- Petroleum & Refining – Assessing cold weather performance of fuels and base oils
- Biodiesel & Biofuels – Ensuring cold flow compliance for renewable fuel blends
- Automotive & Aviation – Evaluating lubricants and fuels under low-temperature conditions
