3、alue that is representative of a batch of petroleumproduct collected and isolated in a tank or vessel has always been a challenge. Historically, theindustry practice has been to follow the appropriate procedures prescribed in Practices D4057, D5842,or D4177 to extract one sample (or a limited few, t

4、aken from top, middle, and bottom) from the tankor vessel after the content is mixed by any of several means to ensure the material is homogeneousprior to sample extraction. The extracted sample is then sent to a laboratory for analysis. Dependingon the property and its criticality, the average prop

5、erty value can also be obtained by independentlyanalyzing each of the top, middle, and bottom samples and the results averaged, or, the three tanksamples are mixed and testing for the property is performed on the mixture.With the introduction of in-line blending and process stream analysis in the 19

6、60s, the potential forreal-time delivery to a pipeline, barge, ship, or tank car compartment was envisioned.To determine the average property value that is representative of a batch of product from a blendor process stream, two approaches have been developed and implemented. One depends on the use o

7、fa composite sampler, a vessel into which a sample of the flowing process or blended product streamis introduced at a flow-rate proportional to the flow-rate of the product stream (Practice D4177). Thissample, collected over the period of time required to generate the batch quantity of product, is t

8、henanalyzed using a primary test method in the laboratory. Multiple laboratory analyses on one or morealiquots of composite sample can be averaged to provide a more precise estimate of the property valuethan a single analysis.A second technique utilizes the results produced by on-line, at-line, or i

9、n-line analyticalmeasurement systems that continually test material from the process or in-line blended stream for thedesired property at regular intervals as it flows to a collection tank, pipeline, or shipping compartment.To determine the average property value of all the material collected (or sh

10、ipped) at any time duringthe production process, a unique real time flow-proportioned averaging technique evolved. Byappropriate selection of a production time period or cycle, the average property value for the collected(or shipped) material at any time in the production or shipment cycle is obtain

11、ed by recursivelycalculating a flow-proportion average using all available property values from the analyticalmeasurement system and the measured incremental quantity of product flow associated with eachcycle. The determination of this flow-proportioned average property value is the subject of thisp

Scope Scope*1.1 This practice covers a technique for calculating a flow-proportioned average property value (FPAPV) for a batch of in-lineblended product or process stream material that is collect

16、ed over time and isolated in a storage tank or vessel, using a combinationof on-line or at-line measurements taken at regular intervals of the property and flow rates.1.2 The FPAPV methodology uses regularly collected on- line or at-line process analyzer measurements, flow, and assessmentof other ap

17、propriate process measurements or values, to calculate a flow-proportioned average property value in accordance withflow quantity units of material produced.1.3 When the collecting vessel contains a heel (retained material prior to receipt of the production batch), both the propertyvalue and quantit

18、y of the heel material can be predetermined and factored into the calculation of the FPAPV for the new batch.1.4 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use.

29、ting, the FPAPV calculated according to this practice can be used to representthe average property of the quantity of material collected.4.2 Due to the averaging and appropriate weighting of analysis results, the FPAPV estimate of the property for the collectedmaterial is expected to be more represe

30、ntative and more precise than an estimate based on a small number of analyses on a fewsamples.NOTE 1Theoretically speaking, the true property distribution for an infinite number of batches with essentially identical FPAPVs is expected to beGaussian, centered at the FPAPV value, with a standard devia

31、tion that is no less than the long term site precision standard deviation of the analyzer system.4.3 If the measured property value can be used to predict another property value through the use of an appropriate correlationequation, the FPAPV can also be used as a suitable prediction of that propert
