Yateks Viscopen RapidX Diesel Fuel and Oil Tester

Protect Your Equipment from South Africa's Illicit Fuel Trade

In South Africa, the mixing of diesel with paraffin and the rise of illegal fuel depots pose a massive threat to fleet operators, mines, farms, and industrial users. Adulterated diesel can slip through the supply chain unnoticed, leading to devastating engine damage, increased wear on critical components, and costly unplanned downtime.

Don't wait for expensive laboratory results to tell you your fuel is compromised. The RapidX ViscoPen YPV is a compact, handheld fluid analyser designed for rapid, on-site testing of diesel fuel, lubricants, and industrial fluids. Using advanced piezoelectric resonant MEMS technology, it provides immediate measurements of viscosity, density, and temperature within seconds. Identify suspicious batches before they enter your equipment.

Key Benefits:

• Immediate Adulteration Detection: Instantly spot abnormal fuel characteristics, such as paraffin blending, which visual inspections miss.

• Fast On-Site Screening: Get accurate readings in seconds without waiting for laboratory reports.

• Multi-Parameter Testing: Measures viscosity, density, and temperature all in one go.

• Built for Demanding Environments: Features a rugged, IP67-rated 316 stainless-steel probe, meaning it is tough enough for the workshop, the farm, or the mining site.

• True Portability: Its pen-style design makes it easy to carry between tanks, transport vehicles, and storage facilities.

• Zero Downtime: A USB-C rechargeable battery delivers up to 35 hours of continuous operation.

• Simple Operation: One-button operation enables fast and reliable fluid condition checks in the field.

Ideal For:

Transport and logistics, agriculture, mining, construction, power generation, and commercial fleet management.
