It is identi

10、cal with ISO6570-3:1984“Natural gas Determination of potential hydrocarbon liquid content Part 3: Volumetric method”, published by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO). ISO6570-3was prepared as a result of discussions in Technical Committee 158, Gas Analysis, in which the UK has

11、participated. BS3156was first published as a single standard in1959under the title “Methods for the sampling and analysis of fuel gases”. A first revision was carried out in1968under the title “Methods for the analysis of fuel gases”, Parts 1, 2 and 3 being published in that year. Parts 4 and5of BS3

12、156were published in 1969. This new series of BS 3156, which begins at Part 10, will incorporate methods prepared by ISO/TC 158. In addition, it is intended to revise Parts1to5and published them in the new series. Terminology and conventions. The text of the International Standard has been approved

13、as suitable for publication as a British Standard without deviation. Some terminology and certain conventions are not identical with those used in British Standards; attention is drawn especially to the following. Wherever the words “part of ISO 6570” appear, referring to this standard, they should

14、be read as “Subsection of BS 3156”. The comma has been used as a decimal marker. In British Standards it is current practice to use a full point on the baseline as the decimal marker. In British Standards it is current practice to use the symbol “L” for litre (and its submultiples) rather than “l”.

15、The Technical Committee has reviewed the provisions of ISO3601-1 which is referred to in Figure 3, and has decided that they are suitable for use in conjunction with this British Standard. Any O-ring that fits the grooves as specified in Figure 3, made of an elastomeric material, would be suitable i

16、n practice. NOTEIn Figure 2, for “Thermostatically controlled bath” read “Thermostatically controlled bath”. A British Standard does not purport to include all the necessary provisions of a contract. Users of British Standards are responsible for their correct application. Compliance with a British

17、Standard does not of itself confer immunity from legal obligations.

This will be indicated in the amendment table on the inside front cover.BS3156-11.2.3:1986 BSI 10-1999 1 1 Scope and field of application This part of ISO6570specifies a volumetric method for the determination of the potential hydrocarb

20、on liquid content of natural gas. This method permits simultaneous determination of the amount of water that condenses under the conditions of the test. The principles of, and general requirements for, methods for the determination of potential hydrocarbon liquid content are specified in ISO6570-1.

21、An alternative weighing method for the determination of potential hydrocarbon liquid is specified in ISO 6570-2. 2 References ISO 3601-1, Fluid systems O-rings Part 1: Inside diameters, cross-sections, tolerances and size identification code.

22、arbon liquid content Part 1: Principles and general requirements. ISO 6570-2, Natural gas Determination of potential hydrocarbon liquid content Part 2: Weighing method. 3 Principle See ISO 6570-1. The volumes of hydrocarbon liquid (and water if present) formed from given volumes of gas passed throug

23、h the installation at a specific temperature and pressure are measured directly and the potential hydrocarbon liquid content is derived from a graphical presentation of the results. The volume of any condensed water may be derived in a similar manner. 4 Apparatus WARNING The apparatus shall comply w

24、ith relevant safety regulations. The general arrangement of the measuring installation is shown in Figure 1. The measuring installation shall meet the general requirements set out in ISO 6570-1. The separator specified in 4.2 is intended for use at maximum working pressure of8MPa. The actual equipme

25、nt used shall have been tested to an appropriate higher maximum pressure in accordance with the requirements of national safety regulations and shown to be safe. In addition, the following equipment is required. 4.1 Cooling coil The cooling coil shall consist of copper tubing4m long, of external dia

26、meter6mm and internal diameter4,5mm, preferably packed with2mm phosphor-bronze balls. 4.2 Separator (see Figure 2 and Figure 3) The separator assembly (see Figure 2) shall consist of: An upper small vertical chamber surrounded by a constant temperature bath controlled to 0,25K. The lower end is conn

27、ected to a sight glass, of polymethyl methacrylate, having a central tube of restricted width half way up which a reference point is marked (see detail Figure 3). This in turn is connected to a lower chamber, of appropriate capacity to collect the condensate formed, surrounded by a constant temperat

28、ure bath controlled to a temperature5to10K lower than that of the upper chamber. NOTEThe specified separator and filter designs have been tested at a pressure of12MPa. 4.3 Mercury displacement pump A calibrated mercury displacement pump with a scale graduated in0,01ml divisions, with the possibility

29、 of estimating to0,001ml, shall be used. 4.4 Back pressure regulator The back pressure regulator shall be suitable for the pressures to be used. 4.5 Equipment for checking of proper functioning (see subclause 5.3 of ISO 6570-1). 5 Sampling The general conditions for representative sampling set out i

30、n ISO6570-1shall be complied with. 6 Procedure Connect a nitrogen cylinder to the apparatus using a heated line, and set the thermostat of the bath containing the cooling coil to the desired temperature. Raise the mercury level in the sight glass using the displacement pump, set the back pressure re

31、gulator, and pressurize the system with nitrogen. Check for any leaks using soap-solution and carry out any necessary repairs. NOTEIf a sufficiently large sample is available, it may be used for checking for leaks instead of the nitrogen.BS3156-11.2.3:1986 2 BSI 10-1999 Reduce the mercury level to b

32、elow the sight glass, and close the valve to the mercury pump. Vent to reduce the pressure in the installation and adjust the temperature of the lower chamber to at least5K below that of the cooling coil. Evacuate the system and slowly introduce the sample, allowing the gas to slowly flow through th

33、e apparatus (control the gas flow using the back pressure regulator and the fine control valve). Open the valve to the mercury pump, and raise the mercury level in the sight glass by means of the displacement pump. As gas flows through the installation, adjust in turn the levels of the water-liquid

34、hydrocarbon and liquid hydrocarbon-gas interfaces to the reference level in the sight glass and record the mercury pump and gas-meter readings for each adjustment. Record the temperatures of the bath containing the cooling coil and the gas entering the measuring equipment. Note the flow rates throug

35、h the installation and the thermostatically controlled bath and the dew point temperatures of the gas leaving the separator. The gas leaving the separator should be in equilibrium; this may be checked, for example, by measuring the hydrocarbon dew point. 7 Expression of results Convert the pump read

36、ings to liquid volumes and correct the gas volumes to standard conditions(273,15 K and 101 325 Pa). From a series of readings, plot the volumes of gas against the volumes of liquid. After initial scatter, due to wetting of the walls of the installation, the values should give a straight line, the sl

37、ope of which gives the volume of liquid, condensate or water, condensed under the conditions in the separator. Express the results as the ratio of the volume of liquid per unit volume of gas. The recommended unit is cm 3 /m 3 . An example of results obtained from a sample in a cylinder is given in A

38、nnex A and of the results obtained from a sample taken by direct sampling are given in Annex B. 8 Sources of error In addition to the sources of error specified in ISO6570-1, that of particular concern in the volumetric method is the temperature of the lower liquid container. If this is too high, ga

39、ssing will occur in the condensed liquid. To avoid this it is essential that the temperature difference between the separator bath and the lower container bath specified in clause 4 be maintained. 9 Test report The test report shall include the following information: a) a reference to this part of I

40、SO 6570; b) all the information necessary for the complete identification of the sample; c) the results obtained; d) details of any operation not specified in this part of ISO 6570, or ISO 6570-1, or regarded as optional, together with details of any incidents likely to have affected the results.BS
