CRUDE OIL PACKAGE

Product catalog summary
Overview
The document outlines the Crude Oil Package, a comprehensive solution for the transport and vapor pressure measurement of crude oil, adhering to ASTM D6377 standards. It features the Floating Piston Cylinder (FPC 250), designed to safely transfer "live crude oils" and prevent evaporation of light hydrocarbons during transport.

Floating Piston Cylinder (FPC 250)
The FPC 250 is a stainless steel cylinder developed in collaboration with offshore personnel. It holds 250 mL of sample and complies with ASTM D3700, D6377, and GOST R 52340 methods. Key features include:
  • Collection under constant pressure to maintain gas/liquid composition.
  • Built-in mechanical stirrer for uniform sample maintenance.
  • Manual filling capability with a pressure gauge for monitoring.
  • Automatic back pressure creation of approximately 150 psi.

Key Features
The FPC 250 offers several features:
  • Compliance with crude oil/LPG standards.
  • Operates up to 70 bar pressure.
  • Requires only 10 mL sample per test.
  • Manual or pressurized filling options.
  • Includes stainless steel valves and high-quality fittings.
  • Spare filters to prevent clogging and wax contamination.

Relevant Methods and Packages
The document lists various packages available for different pressure requirements, including:
  • VPV-SUB021: Crude Oil Package for up to 2000 kPa inlet pressure.
  • VPV-SUB020: High Pressure Pipeline Package for 2000 - 7000 kPa.
  • VPX-CRUDE-PACKAGE: VPXpert - Crude Oil Package with various filling tube options.

CRUDE OIL PACKAGE-1

CRUDE OIL PACKAGE The Official Standard Method for Vapor Pressure of Crude Oil The Crude Oil Package is a comprehensive solution for the transport and vapor pressure measurement of crude oil according to ASTM D6377. The unique Floating Piston Cylinder allows safe sample transfer of “live crude oils” according to ASTM D3700 and eliminates the risk of evaporation of light hydrocarbon ends during transport. VP VISION Crude Oil Package BENEFITS Floating Piston Cylinder (FPC 250) Collecting crude oils under constant pressure, floating-piston cylinders can avoid changes in gas/liquid composition. The Grabner Floating Piston Cylinder is a high quality stainless steel cylinder, which was carefully developed in cooperation with offshore personnel. The small, ergonomic cylinder holds 250 mL of sample and allows the collection, mixing, transfer and handling of crude oils. It fully complies with ASTM D3700, D6377 and GOST R 52340 methods. Easy to Use Attach the FPC to the sample source and flush it either manually or purge it with a continuous bypass stream of the sample. Then collect the sample and seal it inside the cylinder. Mechanical Stirrer The FPC includes a built-in mechanical stirrer, to maintain a representative and uniform sample. Manual Filling for ASTM D3700 The handle of the mechanical stirrer extends from the air-inlet side and contains a compact pressure gauge to monitor the pressure of the crude oil inside the cylinder. The mechanical stirrer also enables manual positioning, making a back-pressure source in field unnecessary. When the piston is in forward position, the filling of the FPC 250 automatically creates a back pressure of approximately 150 psi of air, which is suitable and sufficient for numerous sampling conditions.
