L-K Industries designed the Benchmark C (formerly known as the Benchmark 2014) as the first state-of-the-art oil centrifuge with Class I, Division 2 certification. It meets requirements for ASTM D4007, ASTM D1796, ASTM D2709, ASTM D2273, ASTM D91, ASTM D96 and ASTM D893. It is ideal for laboratory settings or refineries using long cone (C) or short cone (D) tube configurations. It is preferably installed on bench-tops and used to test crude oil or refined petroleum products. 

The fully insulated centrifuge prevents heat loss and allows for more accurate temperature control. Its sturdy outer case is finished with a solvent-resistant powder coating. With a motor capable of operating at 2300 rpm and real-time temperature readings, this unit has unmatched precision in sediment and water determination. The digital programmable temperature controller (ambient inner bowl temperature up to 200°F/93°C) provides better process control for testing heavy crude oil. The integrated countdown timer, which shuts down the motor when a test is complete, reduces variation in testing. The internal programmable, solid-state motor controller enables linear acceleration, which results in more consistent testing. Specially designed collars, cushions and shields help prevent/reduce tube breakage at higher G-forces. 

The Benchmark C features a latching emergency stop button and automatic locking lid (the motor will not operate when the lid is open and the lid will not open while the motor is running). It comes with a standard 4-tube configuration (compatible with B, C, D or E style tubes) and is available in 120VAC or 240VAC. Because of its Class I, Div 2 certification, the unit requires hard-wiring.
