1、Designation: E947 83 (Reapproved 2015)Standard Specification forSampling Single-Phase Geothermal Liquid or Steam forPurposes of Chemical Analysis1This standard is issued under the fixed designation E947; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or, in t
2、he case of revision, the year of last revision. A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. Asuperscript epsilon () indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1. Scope1.1 This specification covers the basic requirements forequipment to be used for the coll
3、ection of uncontaminated andrepresentative samples from single-phase geothermal liquid orsteam. Geopressured liquids are included. See Fig. 1.2. Referenced Documents2.1 ASTM Standards:2D1192 Guide for Equipment for Sampling Water and Steamin Closed Conduits (Withdrawn 2003)33. Application3.1 This sp
4、ecification covers only that equipment which iscommonly used for the sampling of single-phase geothermalliquid or steam. It does not cover specialized equipmentrequired for, and unique to, a specific test or method ofanalysis. The specification covers items such as valves, fittings,tubing, cooling c
5、oils and condensers, pumps, degassers, samplecontainers, sample probes, and packaging materials, but ex-cludes equipment used in specific testing and analysis.3.2 This procedure applies to single-phase steam or liquidstreams prior to separation and to separated single-phase steamor liquid streams.3.
6、3 For most geothermal and geopressured fluids tested bythe procedures outlined in this specification, both liquid andgas samples may be collected.4. Sample Probes4.1 Sample probes shall be used to extract liquid or steamfrom the main part of the geothermal flow rather than using awall-accessing valv
7、e and pipe arrangement.4.1.1 The probe permits the sampling of various positionswithin the flow to determine whether stratified or annulartwo-phase flow is present which would bias a single-pointsample.4.2 Sample probes shall be designed to extract representa-tive samples from flowing systems. Speci
8、al attention duringconstruction of the probe shall be given to the stresses that theprobe will later be subjected to during insertion into, andoperation in, a pressurized flowing system.4.3 The sampling probe (see Fig. 2) passes through thesliding seal and access valve in order that liquid or steam
9、canbe sampled from the mainstream of the flow line. Thereafter,the sample contacts only surfaces that the operator can verifyare noncontaminating and nonabsorbing.4.3.1 Moving the probe tip across the diameter of the pipemay allow the operator to determine the existence of stratifi-cation or multiph
10、ase sampling problems.4.3.2 Flow regulation is accomplished downstream of thecooling coils in order to avoid residual flashing into steam atthe point of pressure reduction. Flashing may cause scaledeposition which would preclude the accurate determination ofcertain constituents.5. Sampling Lines5.1
11、SafetySampling lines shall be as short as practical andof sufficient strength to prevent structural failure.5.2 ConstructionAll sample lines shall be constructed toeliminate traps in which condensate, entrained particulates, orscale precipitates might settle since they may be partiallyemptied with c
12、hanges in flow conditions and may result insample contamination. Allow for thermal expansion.6. Valves, Fittings, and Gages6.1 Valves which control access to the sampling point shallhave straight throats (frequently designated as ball, plug, andgate valves). This permits a probe to be inserted direc
13、tly intothe flow.6.2 It is recommended that at least one full-port shut-offvalve be placed on the downstream end of the sample probe sothat the sampling line may be isolated when desired.1This specification is under the jurisdiction of ASTM Committee E44 on Solar,Geothermal and Other Alternative Ene

United States16.3 Throttling devices such as valves, capillary tubes, ororifices, if used, shall be placed at the sample outlet of thecooler or condenser. This practice will ensur
17、e cooling at thehighest pressure and will minimize the possibility of fluidflashing or scale forming in the cooling coil. A head columnsuch as that recommended for normal water and steam sam-pling (Specification D1192, for Equipment for Sampling Waterand Steam) shall not be used because it provides
18、a mechanismfor gas separation and escape prior to sample collection.6.4 Equipment adequate to determine the pressure andtemperature of the mainstrem liquid or steam flow shall beutilized.7. Sample Cooler7.1 The tube through which the sample flows shall becontinuous through the cooling location so th
19、ere will be nopossibility of sample contamination or dilution from thecooling water. The internal diameter of the tube is suggested tobe no larger than that of the sample probe so that storage withinthe coil is low and the time lag of sample through the coolingphase will be a minimum.7.2 When the te
20、mperature of the sample is above the boilingpoint of water, it may be advantageous, in order to conserveice, to use a precooler containing water to lower the tempera-ture of the sample before it enters the cooler. The temperatureof the sample can then be controlled by the flow rate and thetemperatur
21、e of the final cooling bath (frequently an ice waterbath).8. Materials and Lubricants8.1 Lubricants:8.1.1 No lubricant shall be used in the collection containers,or their valves and seals, where it could contact the sample andbias the components of interest. This is particularly importantif minor co
22、nstituents are to be measured.8.1.2 Other valves and moving parts in the sampling equip-ment that contact the sample should be lubricated to theminimum extent consistent with service life.FIG. 1 Example Assembly (Particularly Suited for Liquid Flows)FIG. 2 Sample ProbeE947 83 (2015)28.2 Materials:8.
23、2.1 In all cases, the sampling equipment shall be made ofmaterials resistant to corrosion by the sample and that will notbias the results. Stainless steel, glass, and polymers areexamples of materials that are generally satisfactory.8.2.2 Copper-based alloys should be avoided.9. Liquid Sample Contai
24、ners9.1 Liquid sample containers and compatible closures shallnot bias the sample components of interest. Sample contain-ment shall conform to EPA guidelines.4These guidelinesrecommend the collection of liquid samples in either plastic orglass containers. Boron and silica samples should be collected
25、in plastic containers.9.2 The closures of the filled sample containers shall befixed in place to prevent accidental opening in transit.Alternatively, the sample containers may be secured inside ashipping container designed to prevent disturbance of the innercontainer.10. Gas Sample Containers10.1 De
26、vices used to collect and transport the gas compo-nent of the samples (as shown in Fig. 3) shall be resistant tochemical reactions and to gaseous diffusion or adsorption.They should be filled to equal or exceed atmospheric pressureto prevent air from leaking into the sample container.11. Filters11.1
27、 Filters, when used, shall be housed in a pressure-tightcontainer assuring that the full flow passes through the filter.12. Cleaning12.1 The sampling apparatus shall be kept clean.12.2 When finished sampling, or when the sampling appa-ratus will be idle, the interior of the apparatus shall be rinsed
28、with distilled water to minimize corrosion and contamination.12.3 It may be necessary to disassemble and clean newequipment prior to initial use.13. Example of Sampling Train13.1 Examples of a sampling train are shown in Fig. 1 andFig. 3. Consideration should be given to the force generated byany sp
29、ecific combination of probe diameter and system pres-sure and to the limitations and safety of sliding seals. Acombination of probe tip bead and safety chain are recom-mended to restrict forcible ejection of the probe from the linebeing sampled. In unsafe cases, a fixed connection is preferred.14. K
