United States15. Significance and Use5.1 Density is a fundamental physical property that can be used in co
16、njunction with other properties to characterize the qualityof crude 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 15 C or 60 F and for the conversion of crude mass measurements into volume units.5.3 The
17、 application of the density result obtained from this test method, for 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 consi

The analyzer must accommodate the accurate measurement of the sample temperatureduring measurement or must control the sample temperature as described in 6.2 and 6.56.6. The instrumen
19、t shall be capable ofmeeting the precision requirements described in Test Method D4052.6.2 Circulating Constant-Temperature Bath, capable of maintaining the temperature of the circulating liquid constant to60.05 C in the desired range. Temperature control can be maintained as part of the density ana

21、mated injection analyses. The autosampler shall be designed to ensure the integrity ofthe test specimen prior to and during the analysis and be equipped to transfer a representative portion of test specimen to the digitaldensity analyzer.6.6 Thermometer, calibrated and graduated to 0.1 C, and a ther
22、mometer holder that can be attached to the instrument for settingand observing the test temperature. In calibrating the thermometer, the ice point and bore corrections should be estimated to thenearest 0.05 C. Precise setting and control of the test temperature in the sample tube is extremely import
23、ant. An error of 0.1 Ccan result in a change in density of one in the fourth significant figure.7. Reagents and Materials7.1 Purity of ReagentsReagent grade chemicals shall be used in all tests. Unless otherwise indicated it is intended that allreagents shall conform to the specifications of the Com

(USPC), Rockville, MD.D5002 1628.3 Test SpecimenThe aliquot of sample obtained from the laboratory sample and delivered to the density analyzer sampletube. The test specimen is obtained as follows:8.3.1 Mix the sample
32、 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 in an open container can result in the loss of light ends,so mixing in closed, pressurized containers or at sub-ambient temperature
33、s is recommended.8.3.2 Draw the test specimen from a properly mixed laboratory sample using an appropriate syringe.Alternatively, if the properdensity analyzer attachments and connecting tubes are used then the test specimen can be delivered directly to the analyzerssample tube from the mixing conta
34、iner. For automated injections, it is necessary to first transfer a portion of sample by appropriatemeans from a properly mixed laboratory sample to the autosampler vials and take the necessary steps to ensure the integrity ofthe test specimen prior to and during the analysis. Sample vials for the a
35、utosampler shall be sealed immediately after filling upto 80 % 6 5 % and shall be kept closed until the auto sampler transfers the test specimen into the measuring cell.9. Preparation of Apparatus9.1 Set up the density analyzer and constant temperature bath following the manufacturers instructions.
36、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 sample is to be measured.10. Calibration of Apparatus10.1 Calibrate
37、 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 beingmeasured (see 10.3).10.2 Initial calibration, or calibration a
38、fter 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 andfreshly boiled reagent water. (See Warning note in 7.3.) Other calibrating materia
39、ls 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 petroleum naphtha, followed with an acetone flushand dry with dry air. Continue drying until
40、 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. Whenthese conditions exist in the laboratory, pass the air used for calibration thro
41、ugh 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 in the U-tube to come to thermal equilibrium with the test temperature and record the
42、 T-value for air.10.2.3 Introduce a small volume, about 1 mL to 2 mL, of freshly boiled reagent water into the sample tube using a suitablesyringe. (See Warning note in 7.3.) The water must be free of even the smallest air or gas bubbles. The sample tube shall becompletely full. Allow the water to r
43、each thermal equilibrium at the test temperature and record the T-value for water and the testtemperature.10.2.4 Alternatively 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 followin

45、d in 10.2.4 as obtained from anappropriate reference source or from direct determination (see 7.6).10.2.8 Using the observed T-values and the reference values for water and air, calculate the values of the Constants A and Busing the following equations:A 5Tw22T a2#/dw 2da# (2)B 5Ta 22A 3da! (3)where
46、:where:Tw = observed period of oscillation for cell containing water, s,Ta = observed period of oscillation for cell containing air, s,dw = density of water at test temperature, g/mL, andda = density of air at test temperature, g/mL.D5002 163Alternatively, use the T and d values for the other refere
47、nce liquid if one is used.10.2.9 If the instrument is equipped to calculate density from the ConstantsAand B and the observed T-value from the sample,then enter the constants in the instrument memory in accordance with the manufacturers instructions.10.2.10 Check the calibration and adjust if needed
48、 by performing the routine calibration check described in 10.3.10.2.11 To calibrate the instrument to determine relative density, that is, the density of the sample at a given temperature referredto the density of water at the same temperature, follow 10.2.1 10.2.9, but substitute 1.000 for dw in pe
49、rforming the calculationsdescribed in 10.2.8.10.3 Since some crude oils can be difficult to remove from the sample tube, frequent calibration checks are recommended.Thesechecks and any subsequent adjustments to ConstantsAand B can be made if required, without repeating the calculation procedure.NOTE 2The need for a change in calibration is generally attributable to deposits in the sample tube that are not removed by the routine flushingprocedure. Although this condition can be compensated for by adjusting A and B, as described below, it is g
