Core Technology
“Carbon Nano-Tube (CNT) Sensor”- Unique Technology”
CNT
Features
CNT has characteristics such as nanometer diameters,
cylindrical structures
Chemical features to absorb and desorb by molecular
unit and far larger surface compared to volume
Application Technology
Utilizing electrochemical reactions of CNT, achieved measuring acid values of oil,
total combustible gas amount and monitoring oil status
Major contents of oil, “HYDROCARBONS” undergoes chemical changes by heat
and light, generating combustible gases such as CH4, C2H2, C2H6, C2H4, C3H8
Changes in conductivity of CNT is then compared with the acid value of oil which
make a precise measurement of changes in the oil
