3、of Defense.INTRODUCTIONThe previous version of the automatic sampling practice described the design, installation, testing,and operation of automated equipment for the extraction of representative samples from the flowingstream and storing mainly for crude oil.This practice is a performance-based st

4、andard. It still includes the design, installation, testing, andoperation of automated equipment for extraction of representative samples. It also includes the testingand proving of a sampling system in the field under actual operating conditions to ensure that theequipment, installation, and operat

5、ing procedures produce representative samples. The acceptancecriteria for custody transfer are covered in this practice. This practice does not address how to samplecrude at temperatures below the freezing point of water. Extensive revisions have been made to theprior version of D4177 (API MPMS Chap

6、ter 8.2).This practice also provides guidance for periodic verification of the sampling system.This practice is separated into three parts:GeneralSections 5 17 (Part I) are currently applicable to crude oil and refined products.

8、pling system.Arepresentative sample is “Aportion extracted from the total volume that contains the constituentsin the same proportions that are present in that total volume.” Representative samples are required forthe determination of chemical and physical properties that are used to establish stand

9、ard volumes,prices, and compliance with commercial and regulatory specifications.The process of obtaining a representative sample consists of the following: the physical equipment,the correct matching of that equipment to the application, the adherence to procedures by theoperator(s) of that equipme

10、nt, and the proper handling and analysis.1. Scope*1.1 This practice describes general procedures and equipment for automatically obtaining samples of liquid petroleum andpetroleum products, crude oils, and intermediate products from the sample point into the primary container. This practice alsoprov

11、ides additional specific information about sample container selection, preparation, and sample handling. If sampling is for theprecise determination of volatility, use Practice D5842 (API MPMS Chapter 8.4) in conjunction with this practice. For samplemixing and handling, refer to Practice D5854 (API

12、 MPMS Chapter 8.3). This practice does not cover sampling of electricalinsulating oils and hydraulic fluids.1 This practice is under the jurisdiction ofASTM Committee D02 on Petroleum Products, Liquid Fuels, and Lubricants and theAPI Committee on Petroleum Measurement,and is the direct responsibilit

13、y of Subcommittee D02.02 /COMQ the joint ASTM-API Committee on Hydrocarbon Measurement for Custody Transfer (Joint ASTM-API).This practice has been approved by the sponsoring committees and accepted by the Cooperating Societies in accordance with established procedures.

Properly address the following considerations to ensurea representative sample is obtained from a flowing stream.5.1.1 LocationLocate the sampling system close to or at a position where the custody transfer is deemed to have taken place.The quality and quantity of the linefill between the extractor and the sample container may be significant enough to impact thequality of the sample.
