Light Diesel Oil Testing
Dev Petro Chem R & D Centre offers comprehensive LDO Testing services which helps in monitoring the quality of fuel used in the equipments. Dev Petro Chem R & D Centre LDO fuel testing facility conducts various tests on LDO samples as per IS Specification for LDO.
Light Diesel Oil is a type of diesel fuel that has flash point greater than 66 deg C & that is mainly used in stationary applications. LDO is a non–automotive diesel fuel used mainly in low RPM engines and Equipments. It has also been widely used in certain types of boilers and furnaces as basic fuel.
