Key Components
The LACT unit sampling system includes essential components to ensure accurate and reliable sampling. These components work together to maintain sample integrity and deliver precise measurements during custody transfer.
Sample Probe
Positioned horizontally and extending to the pipe center in a vertical riser, the sample probe ensures samples are taken from a representative location.
Sample Container
Specifically designed to prevent vaporization, the sample container maintains the integrity of the stored sample.
Circulating Pump
Ensures that the sample remains fully blended into a homogenous mixture before and during withdrawal, providing accurate data.
Sampling Requirements
Sample Size and Frequency
Typically, a sample size of 10 liters is collected over a 24-hour period at the maximum pipeline flow rate and sampling frequency or for a specified batch at a defined flow rate and frequency. The sample volume depends on laboratory analyses requirements and includes a surplus for retention in case of disputes.
Performance Monitoring
System Performance
Throughout the batch, sampling system performance should be closely monitored and reported to ensure optimal accuracy and reliability.
