David J. Fish Senior Vice President Welker, Inc. Vice Chairman API COMQ
Outline Chapters 8 & 10
• The history • The scope • The content • The connections • The future
API Chapter 8 and Chapter 10
• Two critical custody transfer chapters • International influence and acceptance • Used by other SDO’s as guidance • The basis for much collaborative work • The basis for large monetary exchange
API Chapter 8 and Chapter 10
• Both Chapters fall under a joint API/ASTM sub-committee
• API Committee on Petroleum Measurement • ASTM D02 Petroleum Products and Lubricants
• API COMQ • Sampling TAG and Sediment & Water TAG
• ASTM D02.02 • 02B – Sampling, Sediment and Water
Chapter 8 – Sampling Section
Chapter 8 – Sampling Section
• Techniques and guidelines for both the manual and automatic extraction of samples from tanks and pipelines
• Recommendations on handling, transfer and transportation of the sample
• Procedures for mixing and preparation of the sample for analysis (API Chapter 10)
Chapter 8 – Sampling Section
• 8.1 Manual Sampling of Petroleum and Petroleum Products – Primary focus for years – Crude Oil – Various manual sampling techniques and
equipment – Current version approved – Complete rewrite currently being worked
on
Chapter 8
• 8.2 Automatic Sampling of Petroleum and Petroleum Products – Primary focus for years – Crude Oil – Automatic sampling system design and
performance guidelines. – Current version approved – Complete rewrite currently being worked
on
Chapter 8
• 8.3 Mixing and Handling of Liquid Samples of Petroleum and Petroleum Products – Primary focus for years – Crude Oil – Current version approved – Complete rewrite currently being worked
on – Focus on 8.1 and 8.2 techniques
Chapter 8
• 8.4 Sampling and Handling of Fuels for Volatility Measurement – Primary focus for years – Low Vapor
Pressure Fuels – Current version approved – Complete rewrite currently being worked
on – More focus on 8.1 techniques
Chapter 8
• Focus of the Re-write will be to expand the scope of Chapter 8 – General Introduction to Liquid Sampling – Crude Oil – Refined Products – Feed Stocks – Additional Petroleum Products not
covered in other areas.
Chapter 10 – Sediment and Water
Chapter 10 – Sediment and Water
– A Chapter 10 Users Guide soon to be available – Thanks to Kristen Nelson – Alyeska Pipeline – Guidance through the various methods
• Scope – Range • Limitations • Application - Sensitivity
Chapter 10 – Sediment and Water
• Chapter 10.1 – Standard Test Method for Sediment in Crude Oils and Fuel Oils by the Extraction Method – Focus on Sediment in oil – Primarily a Laboratory Procedure – Laboratory apparatus – Typically up to .4% mass
Chapter 10
• Chapter 10.2 – Determination of Water in Crude Oil by the Distillation Method – Focus on Water in Crude Oil – Laboratory Procedure – Laboratory Apparatus
Chapter 10
• Chapter 10.3 – Standard Test Method for Water and Sediment in Crude Oil by the Centrifuge Method – Written for Laboratory Environment – Primarily a fixed Lab setting
Chapter 10
• Chapter 10.4 – Determination of Water and Sediment in Crude Oil by the Centrifuge Method (Field Procedure) – Written for field personnel – Primarily in a field setting
Chapter 10
• Chapter 10.5 – Standard Test Method for Water Determination in Petroleum Products and Bituminous Materials by Distillation – Written for Laboratory Environment – Primarily a fixed Lab setting
Chapter 10
• Chapter 10.6 – Standard Test Method for Water and Sediment in Fuel Oils by the Centrifuge Method (Laboratory Procedure) – Written for Laboratory Environment – Primarily a fixed Lab setting
Chapter 10
• Chapter 10.7 – Standard Test Method for Water in Crude Oils by Potentiometric Karl Fischer Titration – Primarily a fixed Lab setting – .02 – 2% water in Crude
Chapter 10
• Chapter 10.8 – Standard Test Method for Sediment in Crude Oil by Membrane Filtration – Written for Laboratory Environment – Primarily a fixed Lab setting – Due to the apparatus and detail, this is not
a widely used method, but still viable.
Chapter 10
• Chapter 10.9 – Standard Test Method for Water Crude Oils by Coulometric Karl Fischer – Written for Laboratory Environment – Primarily a fixed Lab setting – .02 to 5% mass
Chapter 10
• Chapter 10.10 – Is a Technical Report – Continuous On-line Measure of Water Content in Petroleum (Crude Oil and Condensate) – Due to limited OWD’s (Online Water
measurement Devices), there was not enough established data and use to elevate to the level of a standard at this time.
