FOREWORD Measurement by mass is often utilized where conditions in temperature, pressure, intermolecular adhesion, and solution mixing present difficulty in converting volumes from flowing to standard c

6、onditions, such as with ethane, natural gas liquids (NGL), or ethane-propane mixes. Measurement by mass is often preferred for chemical reactions and various processes where the mass ratios of components are of primary interest in effecting control of the operation. This standard was developed joint

7、ly by GPA Section H, Product Measurement and Handling, and the API Committee on Natural Gas Fluids Measurement (COGM). It is published by API as Chapter 14, Section 4 (14.4) of the API Manual of Petroleum Measurement Standards (MPMS). The participation of COGM in developing this standard is grateful

8、ly appreciated and acknowledged. Throughout this publication, the latest appropriate API, GPA, and ANSI Standards are referenced. The user will notice an editorial change in the 1994 edition of this standard; the base temperature in “C was corrected from 15.6 to 15. In addition the absolute density

9、values were updated to coincide with GPA Standard 2145-94. 1 GPA STDxBL73 94 m 3824679 0017214 T24 STANDARD FOR CONVERTING MASS OF NATURAL GAS LIQUIDS AND VAPORS TO EQUIVALENT LIQUID VOLUMES -. SCOPE 1.1 This standard prescribes a method for converting the measured mass of natural gas liquids or nat

10、ural gas vapors at operating conditions to equivalent liquid volumes of the components at 60F and equilibrium pressure for English units, or 15C and equilibrium pressure for SI units. 2. OUTLINE OF METHOD 2.1 Mass is calculated by multiplying consistent units of a measured volume by its absolute den

11、sity, with both volume and absolute density determined at the same flowing conditions. The resulting total mass is converted to individual component volumes using a component analysis and proper values of the absolute density in mass per unit volume of each component at 60F (or 15C) and its equilibr

12、ium pressure. 2.2 Volume and absolute density determination, sampling, and analysis shall be performed as described or referenced in GPA Standard 8182 (API Chapter 14.7). 2.3 The absolute density of pure hydrocarbons in pounds mass per gallon (kg/m3), as stated in GPA Standard 2145, shall he used in

13、 the calculations. Unless contract terms specify herwise, absolute density values shall be from the latest revision of GPA Standard 2145. In the examples in this publication, the absolute density values stated in GPA Standard 2145-94 were used. NOTE 1 - The examples in this publication illustrate ty

14、pical components. In actual practice, ail the components detected that are representative of the measured product stream should be included in the conversion to equivalent liquid volumes. NOTE 2 - if constants for hydrocarbon components which are not presenkd in GPA Standard 2145 are required, the c

15、onstants contained in the Physical Properties chapter of the GPSA Engineering Data Book shall be used If the required constants are not contained in the GPSA Engineering Data Book either, the Am Technical Data Book constants shall be used. 3. PRECAUTIONS 3.1 Equipment, installation, and operations s

16、hall be in accordance with GPA Standard 8182 (API Chapter 14.7); however, the following is reiteratd Accurate dynamic measurement can only be accomplished with a single phase, homogeneous, Newtonian fluid. In order to calculate mass accurately, density determination must be made at essentially the s

17、ame pressure and temperature as the volume measurement. Allowable temperature and pressure deviations are set out in API Chapter 14.6. Density may either be measured directly or calculated in accordance with GPA Standard 8182 (MI Chapter 14.7). Dynamic measurement in the vapor phase must occur at a

18、pressure below the equilibrium pressure (dew point pressure) of the mixture at operating conditions. Dynamic measurement in the liquid phase must occur at a pressure above the equilibrium pressure (bubble point pressure) of the mixture at all actual operating temperatures and composition. This stand

19、ard may also be applied to the measurement of supercritical fluids. Measuring and sampling equipment shall be located where it will not be affected by pulsation, mechanical vibration, and compressor, pump, or control valve generated noise that would adversely affect measurement accuracy. 4.
