Perf
30、or-mance criteria is given in Annex A5. To meet the criteriarequires cooperation of the vessel crew and shore personnel.Special operating requirements are:15.3.1 The portable sampler operator should keep the flowrate at each flow sensing device within its design range bylimiting the number of loadin
31、g lines or hoses in service duringperiods of low flow rates, for example, start-up, topping off,stripping, etc.15.3.2 For discharge operations, the vessel compartmentdischarge sequence must be controlled so that the amount offree water being discharged during the start-up operation is lessthan 10 %
32、of the total amount of water in the cargo.15.3.3 For loadings, a shore tank with no free water ispreferred for the initial pumping. Water drawing the tank orpumping a small portion of the tank to another shore tank priorto the opening tank gauge, or both, are suggested.16. Acceptance Tests16.1 Testi
33、ng is recommended to confirm that a samplingsystem is performing accurately. Annex A3 outlines methodsfor testing samplers that are used for the collection of S Total System Testing and Component Testing.16.2 Total System TestingThis test method is a volumebalance test where tests are conducted for
34、known amounts ofwater. It is designed to test the total system including thelaboratory handling and mixing of sample. Two procedures areoutlined. One involves only the sampler under test, the otherutilizes an additional sampler to measure the baseline water.16.3 Component TestingThis test method inv
35、olves testingindividually the components that comprise a sampling system.Where applicable, some of the component tests may beconducted prior to installation of the total system. Componentsto be tested include:16.3.1 Probe/extractor,16.3.2 Profile (for stream conditioning),16.3.3 Special flow meter,
36、and16.3.4 Primary sample receiver and mixer.FIG. 8 Typical Portable Marine InstallationD4177 95 (2010)716.3.5 If a system design has been proven by testing,subsequent systems of the same design (for example, LACTunits), including piping configuration and operated under thesame or less criterial cond
37、itions (that is, higher flow rate,higher viscosity, lower water content, etc.) need not be tested.Once a system or system design has been proven, the followingchecks can be used to confirm system reliability:Component CheckStream conditioning Flow rate or pressure drop if equipped with power orstati
38、c mixer.Profile test for systems with only piping elements.Pacing device Compare recorded batch volume to known volume.Compare actual sample volume to expected volume.Extractor Compare actual sample volume to expected volume.Compare actual grab size to expected grab size.16.3.6 Portable sampling sys
39、tems can be tested by thecomponent testing method except for proper stream condition-ing. To compensate for this, the performance test for eachoperation has been designed to evaluate the operation of thesampler. This is shown in Annex A5.16.4 Requirements for AcceptabilityTesting by either thecompon
40、ent or total system method requires that two out ofthree consecutive sets of test data repeat within the limitsshown in Annex A3.17. Operational Performance Checks/Reports17.1 Monitoring of sampler performance is a necessary partof every sampling operation. Monitoring is required to makesure that th
41、e sample extractor is extracting a uniform grab in aflow proportional manner. This is normally accomplished byassessing the sample volume collected to ensure that it meetsexpectations for the equipment and transfer volume involved.17.2 Several procedures may be used to accomplish thisrequirement, th
42、at is, sight glasses, gages, or weigh cells.Selection of a procedure should be based on (1) volume oftransfer, (2) type of installation, (3) time interval of transfer, (4)whether the sampling facility is manned, (5) receiver type, (6)purpose of the sample, and (7) equipment used.17.3 For LACT and AC
43、T units, monitoring may consist ofcomparison between sample volume collected and expectedsample volume. For very large transfers including marinetransferee, more information may be desired as outlined inAnnex A4 and Annex A5.18. Keywords18.1 acceptance tests; automatic petroleum sampling; con-trolle
