Kerosene Savings Test Procedure

With Kerosene conservation being a big promise of Servals’ flagship products – Venus burners and Servals Stoves, We thought it would be useful to put up the test procedure that we follow to find out the kerosene consumed in a kerosene stove.

We follow a simple test procedure. This test helps to find out the kerosene consumed for various kerosene stoves/burners - under identical conditions.

Here is the test procedure.

Kerosene Saving Test

Equipment Used : Date:

Pr. Maintained at :

a) Weight in Kg. of stove after lighting of stove up to 5 minutes :

b) Final weight in Kg of stove :

c) Weight in Kg of water……………………………………….. :

d) Initial Temperature of water in degree centigrade…………... :

e) Time in minutes taken to heat water to 90 degree Centigrade :

f) Fuel consumed in Kg………………………………………… :

g) Fuel consumed in Kg in one hour :


Note :

1. All stoves/burners should be tested in identical conditions.
2. Weighing machine used should have an accuracy of upto 1 gram.
3. There should not be too much variation in “ Fuel consumed in Kg in one hour “.
4. “Fuel consumed in Kg “ with different stoves/burners shows which stove/burner consumes less kerosene.
