3、ude oils that can be handled in a normalfashion as liquids at test temperatures between 15 and 35C. This test method applies to crude oils with high vapor pressuresprovided appropriate precautions are taken to prevent vapor loss during transfer of the sample to the density analyzer.1.2 This test met
4、hod was evaluated in round robin testing using crude oils in the 0.75 to 0.95 g/mL range. Lighter crude oil canrequire special handling to prevent vapor losses. Heavier crudes can require measurements at higher temperatures to eliminate airbubbles in the sample.1.3 The values stated in SI units are

Significance and Use5.1 Density is a fundamental physical property that can be used in conjunction with other properties to characterize the qualityof crude
16、oils.5.2 The density or relative density of crude oils is used for the conversion of measured volumes to volumes at the standardtemperatures of 15C or 60F and for the conversion of crude mass measurements into volume units.5.3 The application of the density result obtained from this test method, for
17、 fiscal or custody transfer accounting calculations,can require measurements of the water and sediment contents obtained on similar specimens of the crude oil parcel.6. Apparatus6.1 Digital Density AnalyzerA digital analyzer consisting of a U-shaped, oscillating sample tube and a system for electron

The analyzer must accommodate the accurate measurement of the sample temperatureduring measurement or must control the sample temperature as described in 6.2 and 6.5.The instrument shall be capable of meetingthe precision requirements described in Test

Sampling, Test Specimens, and Test Units8.1 Sampling is defined as all the steps required to obtain an aliquot of the contents of any pipe, tank or other system, and toplace the sample into the laboratory test container. The laboratory test container and sample volume shall be of s
28、ufficientdimensions to allow mixing as described in 8.3.1. Mixing is required to obtain a homogeneous sample for analysis.8.2 Laboratory SampleUse only representative samples obtained as specified in Practices D4057 or D4177 for this testmethod.8.3 Test SpecimenThe aliquot of sample obtained from th
29、e laboratory sample and delivered to the density analyzer sampletube. The test specimen is obtained as follows:8.3.1 Mix the sample of crude oil to homogenize any sediment and water present.The mixing may be accomplished as describedin Practice D4177 or Test Method D4377. Mixing at room temperature
30、in an open container can result in the loss of light ends,so mixing in closed, pressurized containers or at sub-ambient temperatures is recommended.4 Reagent Chemicals, American Chemical Society Specifications, American Chemical Society, Washington, DC.

Preparation of Apparatus9.1 Set up the density analyzer and const
33、ant temperature bath following the manufacturers instructions. Adjust the bath orinternal temperature control so that the desired test temperature is established and maintained in the sample compartment of theanalyzer. Calibrate the instrument at the same temperature at which the density of the samp
34、le is to be measured.10. Calibration of Apparatus10.1 Calibrate the instrument when first setting up and whenever the test temperature is changed. Thereafter, conduct calibrationchecks at least weekly during routine operation or more frequently as may be dictated by the nature of the crude oils bein
35、gmeasured (see 10.3).10.2 Initial calibration, or calibration after a change in test temperature, necessitates calculation of the values of the ConstantsA and B from the periods of oscillation, (T), observed when the sample cell contains certified reference liquids such as air anddouble-distilled re
36、-distilled freshly boiled water. (See Warning note in 7.3.) Other calibrating materials such as n-nonane,n-tridecane, cyclohexane, and n-hexadecane (for high temperature applications) can also be used as appropriate.10.2.1 While monitoring the oscillator period, T, flush the sample tube with petrole
37、um naphtha, followed with an acetone flushand dry with dry air. Continue drying until the display exhibits a steady reading. In cases where saline components can be depositedin the cell, flush with distilled water followed by acetone and dry air. Contaminated or humid air can affect the calibration.
38、 Whenthese conditions exist in the laboratory, pass the air used for calibration through a suitable purification and drying train. In addition,the inlet and outlet ports for the U-tube must be plugged during measurement of the calibration air to prevent ingress of moist air.10.2.2 Allow the dry air
39、in the U-tube to come to thermal equilibrium with the test temperature and record the T-value for air.10.2.3 Introduce about 0.7 mLof freshly boiled and cooled double-distilled a small volume (about 1 mLto 2 mL) of re-distilled,freshly boiled reagent water into the sample tube from the bottom openin
40、g using a suitable syringe. (See Warning note in 7.3.) Thewater must be free of even the smallest air or gas bubbles. The sample tube shall be completely full. Allow the water to reachthermal equilibrium at the test temperature and record the T-value for water and the test temperature.10.2.4 Alterna
41、tively introduce one of the hydrocarbon calibration standards and measure the T-value as in 10.2.3.10.2.5 Calculate the density of air at the temperature of test using the following equation:da 50.001293273/T#P/760#g/mL (1)where:T = temperature, K, andP = barometric pressure, torr.10.2.6 Determine t
42、he density of water at the temperature of test by reference to Table 1.10.2.7 Alternatively record the density at the test temperature for the hydrocarbon calibrant used in 10.2.4 as obtained from anappropriate reference source or from direct determination (see 7.6).10.2.8 Using the observed T-value
