  2. Feb 2013 Manual Density Business Today The reference method for national metrological institutes and calibration labs. Density of crude oil is difficult to measure automatically and manual measurement is often necessary. Density by hydrometer method is referee method in case of dispute with automatic density meter. Done by labs which run a lot of different sample types at different temperatures. 2
  3. Feb 2013 The Method ASTM Standard D1298* ASTM D1298 Setup Alternative Devices Unit Installation and Preparing*We describe the ASTM D1298 method in this presentation, but our set-up can also be used for ASTM D287 and ASTM D6822. Content of Presentation 3
  4. The Method

    Covers the laboratory determination using a glass hydrometer, of the density, relative density (specific gravity), or API gravity of crude petroleum, petroleum products, or mixtures of petroleum and nonpetroleum products normally handled as liquids, and having a Reid vapor pressure of 101.325 kPa (14.696 psi) or less. Values are measured on a hydrometer at either the reference temperature or at another convenient temperature. Feb 2013
  5. The MethodStandard

    Standards ASTM D287, ASTM D1298, ASTM D6822, IP160. The standard describes the manual measurement of density by hydrometer method. (ASTM D6822 describes the thermo hydrometer method). The sample is brought to a specified temperature and a test portion is transferred to a hydrometer cylinder that has been brought to approximately the same temperature. The appropriate hydrometer, also at a similar temperature, is lowered into the test portion and allowed to settle. The hydrometer cylinder and its contents are placed in a constant temperature bath to avoid excessive temperature variation during the test. After temperature equilibrium has been reached, the hydrometer scale is read, and the temperature of the sample is taken. The observed hydrometer reading is reduced to the reference temperature by means of the Petroleum Measurement Tables. Feb 2013
  6. The MethodBath Temperature

    Use a bath with a constant temperature. Temperature should stay within  0.25C of the test temperature. The temperature measuring device is a glass thermometer. Tamson advises ASTM 12C thermometer with a range from -20C up to +102C, reference number 25T0911. Feb 2013
  7. The MethodHydrometer

    Hydrometers, of glass, graduated in units of density, relative density, or API gravity as required, conforming to specification E100 or ISO649-1. Hydrometer cylinder, clear glass, plastic (see 6.3.1), or metal. The inside diameter of the cylinder shall be at least 25 mm greater than the outside diameter of the hydrometer and the height shall be such that the appropriate hydrometer floats in the test portion with at least 25 mm clearance between the bottom of the hydrometer and the bottom of the cylinder. Feb 2013
  8. Tamson Set-up for D1298

    Small footprint. Temperature range. Extremely stable. Heating & cooling. Three positions (six optional). Excellent view of hydrometer. Easy drainage and cleaning. Feb 2013
  9. D1298 SetupSmall Footprint

    Feb 2013 Length 36 cm Heigth 80 cm Heigth 57 cm Length 46 mm Width 32 cm Width 27 cm Important: -TLC15-5 can be placed to the left side, right side or behind the tripod. It can even be placed under the workbench. -The TLC15-5 has to be placed in a well ventilated area. Air circulation has to be enabled by 30 cm of free space at all sides.
  10. D1298 Set-upTemperature range

    Feb 2013 The TLC15-5 circulator pumps a flow through the double walls of the glasscylinders. Temperaturerange of TLC15-5 is from -15°C up to +60°C, optional range is from -15°Cup to+150°C. This range is muchwiderthanwithautomatic densitydevices. Minimum temperature of D1298set-up approx. +5°C. Maximum temperaturedepends on the temperature range of TLC15-5, maximum is +150ºC. Youcan test the density of your sample precisely at the exact temperature. No needfor petroleum measurementtablesandthus the risk for wrong calculations.
  11. D1298 Set-upExtremely stable

    Feb 2013 ASTM D1298 states that temperature should stay within  0.25C of the test temperature. Our setup easily meets this requirement. Stability @ 15°C
  12. D1298 Set-upExtremely stable

    Feb 2013 ASTM D1298 states that temperature should stay within  0.25C of the test temperature. Our setup easily meets this requirement. Stability @ 20°C
  13. D1298 Set-upExtremely stable

    Feb 2013 ASTM D1298 states that temperature should stay within  0.25C of the test temperature. Our setup easily meets this requirement. Stability @ 5°C Stability @ 60ºC
  14. D1298 Set-upHeating & Cooling

    Feb 2013 One of the mainadvantages of our set-up is thatyoucanuseit at differenttemperaturesfordifferent type of samples. Whentesting at different temperaturesquickcoolingandheating is important. Fromambientto60ºConly takes 40 minutes.
  15. D1298 Set-upHeating & Cooling

    Feb 2013 From20ºCto5ºConly takes 70 minutes.
  16. D1298 Set-upThree positions (six optional)

    Feb 2013 Setup canbeusedwiththree hydrometers at the same time. Optionalanadditionalmounting rack withcylinderscanbeaddedto have sixpositions in total. Spare part numberis 00T1260. Six positions set-up shows similarresult in stabilityandheating & coolingcapacity.
  17. D1298 Set-upExcellent view of hydrometer

    Feb 2013 Conventional systems are usingsome kind of a thermostatic bath with hydrometers cylinders. Part of the hydrometer cylinders are blockedby the lid of the bath. So, part of the hydrometer cannotberead.
  18. D1298 Set-upExcellent view of hydrometer

    Feb 2013 Our set-up is using a tripod in which the hydrometer cylinders are mounted. Dueto the design, youwill have a clear view of the hydrometer cylinder. So, youcaneasilyread the complete hydrometer.
  19. D1298 Set-upEasy drainage and cleaning

    Feb 2013 After the sample has been tested, the sample canbeeasilyremovedbyusing the drain. Cylindercanbecleanedwith a solvent. In case a portion of the sample is spilled, the tray canberemovedandcleaned. Workbenchwillnot get dirty.

  24. Feb 2013 Installation Unpack the set-up from the box and remove packing materials. Put the cylinders in the tripod. Connect the silicon tubing which has already been pre cut. Wall outlets should be properly grounded and provide clean power with minimum electrical noise. Be sure to check the power requirements (230V/50Hz, 230V/60Hz, 115V/60Hz) marked on the tag plate at the back side of the bath. Make sure to use the proper bath medium for each operating temperature. Takes approx. 20 minutes to install the set-up.
  25. Feb 2013 Maintenance Regularly check the apparatus and condenser unit for dust. Remove dust with a vacuum cleaner. Replace bath fluid regularly in order to keep the cylinders clean.
