VP VISION 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 measurement of the vapor pressure 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. • Floating Piston Cylinder (FPC 250) Collecting crude oils in 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 and handy 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.
