Summary of Practice4.1 A representative sample of the gaseous fuel is extractedfrom a process pipe, a pipeline, or other gaseous fuel streamand is transferred to an analyzer sampling system.

23、Afterconditioning that maintains the sample integrity, the sample isintroduced into a calorimeter. Excess extracted process orsample gas is vented to the atmosphere, a flare header, or isreturned to the process in accordance with applicable economicand environmental requirements and regulations. Pos

Significance and Use5.1 On-line, at-line, in-line and other near-real time moni-toring systems that measure fuel gas characteristics such asheating value are prevalent in various gaseous fuel industriesand in industries eithe

26、r producing or using gaseous fuel in theirindustrial processes. The installation and operation of particu-lar systems vary depending on process type, regulatoryrequirements, and the users objectives and performance re-quirements. This practice is intended to provide guidance forstandardized start-up

27、 procedures, operating procedures, andquality assurance practices for calorimeter based on-line,at-line, in-line and other near-real time heating value monitor-ing systems. Users employing gas chromatographic basedinstrumentation for measurement of gaseous fuel heating valueare referred to Practice

28、D7164.6. Apparatus6.1 InstrumentAny instrument of standard manufacture,with hardware necessary for interfacing to a fuel gas pipelineand containing all the features necessary for the intendedapplication(s) can be used.6.1.1 Combustion SystemOperating parameters employedmust be capable of converting

29、all of the volatile combustiblechemical species in the sample into carbon dioxide, water,nitrogen, nitrogen dioxide, and/or sulfur dioxide, using a dry,hydrocarbon-free oxidant which is typically air. A change ofless than or equal to 1,000 ppm/wt in the moisture content ofinstrument air between calo

30、rimeter calibrations is acceptable tomaintain a statistically insignificant 6 0.1% heating valueaccuracy as denoted in Practice D4891. The less than 1,000ppm/wt moisture content control value is easily achieved usingdesiccant or refrigerant air dryers when the air dryers aremaintained according to t

31、he manufacturers recommendations.Instrumentation must satisfy or exceed analytic performancecharacteristics for accuracy and precision for the intendedapplication without encountering unacceptable interference orbias. In addition, components in contact with sample streamssuch as tubing and valving m

32、ust be constructed of suitable inertor passivated materials to ensure that the composition of thesampled gas is not altered.6.2 Sample Probes/Sample ExtractionThe location andorientation of sampling components are critical for ensuringthat a representative sample is analyzed. The locations andorient

33、ation of sampling components should be selected basedupon sound analytic and engineering considerations. Samplingpractices for gaseous fuels can be found in Practice D5287.6.3 Sample Inlet SystemAn automated gas sampling valveis required in many applications. All sampling system compo-nents in conta

34、ct with the fuel stream must be constructed ofinert or passivated materials. Care should be taken to ensurethat the extracted sample is maintained in a single cleanD7314 10 (2015)2gaseous phase. The addition of heat at the point of pressurereduction or along the sample line to the analyzer may bereq

35、uired to ensure that the sample is maintained in the gasphase. The need for heat tracing and the extent to which it isrequired will be site specific. In general, considerations im-pacting heat tracing decisions include sample compositions andthe expected variations, ambient temperature fluctuations,

36、operating pressures, and anticipated pressure differentials insample system components. Sample filtration should be uti-lized as required to remove particulate matter from the ex-tracted sample.6.3.1 Combustion Air, Sample, and Carrier Gas ControlConstant flow control of combustion air, sample gas,

37、andcarrier gas, if required by the measurement application, isnecessary for optimum and consistent analytical performance.Control is typically achieved by use of pressure regulators andfixed flow restrictors. Ambient, combustion air, sample, andcarrier gas temperature control is generally vital for

38、ensuringconsistent operation of flow control devices. The gas flow ismeasured and verified by appropriate means and adjusted asnecessary.6.3.2 DetectorsCommon calorimetry heating value detec-tion systems include stoichiometric combustion (Test MethodD4891), continuous recording calorimeters (Test Me

39、thodD1826), non-stoichiometric combustion, and residual oxygendetection calorimeters. Other detectors can be used providedthey have appropriate linearity, accuracy, sensitivity and mea-surement range for the selected application. In selecting adetector, the user should consider the linearity and sen

40、sitivityof a particular detection system prior to installation. The usershould also consider potential sample compositional effectsthat may influence the reported heating value.6.4 Data AcquisitionData acquisition and storage can beaccomplished using a number of devices and media. Followingare some

41、examples:6.4.1 RecorderA 0 to 1 millivolt or a 4-20 milliamp rangerecording potentiometer or equivalent, with a full-scale re-sponse time of 2 s or less can be used mounted locally orremotely.6.4.2 Communications SystemsEfficient communicationsbetween the analyzer and the host depend on resolving an

42、y andall interface issues. Signals to and from the host are typicallyisolated from each other in an appropriate manner.7. Reagents and Materials7.1 WarningCompressed gas standards should only behandled in well ventilated locations away from sparks andflames. Improper handling of compressed gas cylin

43、ders con-taining calibration standards or air can result in explosion.Compressed air supports combustion.7.1.1 StandardsComponents in the Calibration Gas Mix-ture should be representative of the monitored gas. The heatingvalue is either determined instrumentally or is calculated usinga certified gas

44、 composition of the standard. Practice D3588 orother methods as required for regulatory purposes can be usedto calculate the heating value of a gas mixture. Other heatingvalue calculational algorithms can be used so long as allinterested parties are advised of and are in agreement with thecalculatio

45、nal methodology employed, or both. Methods relatedto determining the relative density of gaseous fuels can befound in Practice D1070. Mixtures of major components aretypically specified to achieve the desired heating value. Aminimum of major representative components is frequentlyused. The number of

46、 components used is frequently minimizedfor economical reasons and to reduce the probability of errorduring the preparation of the Calibration Gas Mixture. In orderto ensure their accuracy and stability by preventing condensa-tion and degradation, Calibration Gas Mixtures must be main-tained within

47、the temperature range specified by the manufac-turer. If there is any doubt concerning the validity of theCalibration Gas Mixture, a Reference Gas Mixture should beused to verify the validity of the Calibration Gas Mixture.8. Equipment Siting and Installation8.1 The siting and installation of an at-

48、line or on-linemonitor is critical for collecting representative information onheating value content. Factors that should be considered insiting an instrument include hazardous area rating, ease ofcalibration, ease of access for repair or maintenance, sampleuniformity at the sampling point, appropri

49、ateness of samplesfrom a sampling location, ambient conditions, and of coursesafety issues. A sample inlet system capable of operatingcontinuously at or above the maximum operating sampletemperature is necessary. The location of the sample inlet to theanalyzer relative to the sample extraction point is critical toobtaining timely analytical results. Ideally, the analyzer isclose-coupled to the sample extraction point and there is aninsignificant sampling lag time. Normally, the analyzer ismounted at some distance away from the sample extractionpo
