The precau-tions required to ensure the representative character of thesamples are numerous and depend upon the tank, carrier,container, or line from which the sample is being obtained, thetype and cleanliness of the sample container, and the samplingprocedure that is to be us

18、ed.5. Significance and Use5.1 The dry vapor pressure equivalent (DVPE) of volatilemotor fuels is regulated by federal and state air pollutioncontrol agencies. In order to meet the letter of these regula-tions, it is necessary to sample, handle, and test these productsin a very precise manner.6. Gene

19、ral Comments6.1 Sample Containers:6.1.1 Sample containers are clear or brown glass bottles,fluorinated high-density polyethylene bottles, or metal cans.The clear glass bottle is advantageous because it is easilyexamined visually for cleanliness, and also makes visualinspection of the sample for free

20、 water or solid impuritiespossible. The brown glass bottle affords some protection fromlight. The only cans acceptable are those with the seamssoldered on the exterior surface.6.1.2 Cork stoppers, or screw caps of plastic or metal, areused for glass bottles; screw caps with inserted seals only areus

21、ed for cans to provide a vapor-tight closure seal. Corks mustbe of good quality, clean, and free from holes and loose bits ofcork. Never use rubber stoppers. Contact of the sample with thecork can be prevented by wrapping tin or aluminum foil aroundthe cork before forcing it into the bottle. Screw c

22、aps must beprotected by a cork disk faced with tin or aluminum foil, aninverted cone polyseal or other material that will not affectpetroleum or petroleum products. The fluorinated bottles aresupplied with polypropylene screw caps.6.1.3 Sample size is dictated by the test method to be used.One litre

23、 (32 oz) bottles or cans are generally used for manualvapor pressure testing. Some vapor pressure methods mayallow a smaller sample size to be taken, such as in a 125 mL(4 oz) bottle. See Fig. 1.6.1.4 All sample containers must be absolutely clean andfree of foreign matter. Before reusing a containe

24、r, wash it withstrong soap solution, rinse it thoroughly with tap water, andfinally with distilled water. Dry completely and stopper, or cap,the container immediately.6.2 Sampling ApparatusSampling apparatus is describedin detail under each of the specific sampling procedures. Clean,dry, and free al

29、eement or regulatoryrequirements.6.4 Obtaining Samples:6.4.1 Directions for sampling cannot be made explicitenough to cover all cases. Extreme care and good judgment arenecessary to ensure samples that represent the general charac-ter and average condition of the material. Use lint-free wipingcloths

30、 to prevent contaminating samples.6.4.2 Many petroleum vapors are toxic and flammable.Avoid breathing them or igniting them from an open flame ora spark. Follow all safety precautions specific to the materialbeing sampled.6.4.3 Do not sample dead legs or relief lines. Do not samplestand pipes that a

31、re not slotted or perforated. Fig. 2 is anexample of an adequately slotted stand pipe.At a minimum, thestand pipe should have two rows of slots slightly staggered inthe vertical plane.6.4.4 Rinse or flush sample containers with product andallow it to drain before drawing the sample. If the sample is

32、 tobe transferred to another container (for testing other thanDVPE), the sampling apparatus also is rinsed with some of theproduct and drained. When the sample is emptied into thiscontainer, upend the sampling apparatus into the opening of thesample container.6.5 Handling Samples:6.5.1 Protect all s

33、amples of light fuels from evaporation.The sampling apparatus is the sample container for vaporpressure. Keep the container tightly closed after the sample iscollected. Leaking sample containers are not suitable fortesting. Cool volatile samples to 0 to 1C (32 to 34F) afterdelivery to the laboratory

34、 and before opening the container.Maintain at this temperature throughout transfer and handling,if at all possible.6.5.2 Never completely fill a sample container. Fill thecontainer to 70 to 80 % capacity to allow adequate room forexpansion. Subsequent testing for vapor pressure requires thislevel of

35、 container fill.6.5.3 The first sample aliquot removed is for vapor pressuretesting. The remaining sample in the container is not suitablefor a vapor pressure determination but is suitable for othertesting.6.6 Shipping SamplesTo prevent loss of liquid and vaporsduring shipment, place internal seals

36、in the metal containers,screw the caps down tightly and check for leakage. Observe allshipping regulations applying to the transportation of flam-mable liquids.6.7 Labeling Sample ContainersLabel the container im-mediately after a sample is obtained. Use waterproof andoilproof ink or a pencil hard e

37、nough to dent the tag, since softpencil and ordinary ink markings are subject to obliterationfrom moisture, product, smearing, and handling. Typical labelinformation includes the following information:6.7.1 Date and time (the period elapsed during continuoussampling),6.7.2 Name of the sample (locati

38、on),6.7.3 Name or number and owner of the vessel, car, orcontainer,6.7.4 Brand and grade of material; and6.7.5 Reference symbol or identification number.6.7.6 Labeling should conform to all applicable federal,state, and local labeling regulations.7. Specific Sampling Procedures7.1 Sampling Procedure

39、sThe standard sampling proce-dures described in this practice are summarized in Table 1.Alternative sampling procedures can be used if a mutuallysatisfactory agreement has been reached by the party(ies)involved and such agreement has been put in writing andsigned by authorized officials.7.2 Tank Sam

41、as shown inFig. 3 is required. Recommended diameter of the opening inthe bottle or sample thief is 19 mm (34 in.).7.2.1.2 Procedure:(a) All-levels SampleLower the weighted, stopperedbottle (see Fig. 3) as near as possible to the draw-off level, pullout the stopper with a sharp jerk of the cord or ch

42、ain and raisethe bottle at a rate so that it is 70 to 85 % full as it emerges fromthe liquid.(b) Running SampleLower the stoppered container (witha hole or slot in the stopper) at a uniform rate as near aspossible to the level of the bottom of the outlet connection orswing line and immediately raise

43、 the bottle to the top of thefuel at a rate of speed such that it is 70 to 85 % full whenwithdrawn from the liquid.NOTE 2Running or all-level samples are not necessarily representa-tive because the tank volume may not be proportional to the depth andbecause the operator may not be able to raise the

44、sampler at the requiredrate.(c) Upper, Middle, and Lower SamplesLower theweighted, stoppered bottle to the proper depths (Fig. 4)asfollows:upper sample middle of upper third of the tank contentsmiddle sample middle of the tank contentslower sample middle of the lower third of the tank contentsAt the

45、 selected level, pull out the stopper with a sharp jerk ofthe cord or chain and allow the bottle to fill completely, asevidenced by the cessation of air bubbles. When full, raise thebottle, pour off a small amount (15 to 30 %), and stopperimmediately.(d) Top SampleObtain this sample (Fig. 4) in the

46、samemanner as specified for an upper sample but at 150 mm (6 in.)below the top surface of the tank contents.(e) HandlingCap and label bottle samples immediatelyafter taking them, and deliver to the laboratory in the originalsampling bottles. Multiple samples must be tested individuallyfor vapor pres

47、sure. A composite sample is acceptable for otheranalytical tests. Inverting the sample container can aid in leakdetection. The sample may be placed in ice immediately forcooling, if practical.7.2.2 Tap SamplingThe tap sampling procedure is appli-cable for sampling liquids of 105 kPa (16 psia) DVPE,

48、or less,in tanks that are equipped with suitable sampling taps or lines.This procedure is recommended for volatile stocks in tanks ofthe breather and balloon roof type, spheroids, floating rooftanks, and so forth. The assembly for tap sampling is shown inFig. 5.7.2.2.1 Apparatus:(a) Tank TapsEquip t

49、he tank with at least three samplingtaps placed equidistant throughout the tank height. A standard14 in. pipe with a suitable valve is satisfactory. A sufficientnumber of sample taps are needed on the tank to makesampling possible at various levels.(b) TubeUse a delivery tube that will not contaminate theproduct being sampled and is long enough to reach to thebottom of the sample container to allow submerged filling.(c) Tube Chiller Assembly (Optional)If a samplingchiller is used, it is a coil of tubing immersed in an ice bath tochill a fuel sa
