Описание (английский):

La présente Norme Internationale spécifie une méthode pour le prélèvement d'échantillons de gaz de pétrole liquéfiés non réfrigérés (GPL). Elle s'applique aux prélèvements effectués à partir de réservoirs pour obtenir des échantillons destinés à des essais de laboratoire sur des produits conformes à l'ISO 9162. Cette Norme Internationale s'applique aux prélèvements d'échantillons destinés à l'analyse des composants selon l'ISO 7941. Elle ne s'applique pas aux prélèvements d'échantillons destinés à l'analyse des traces de composés à bas point d'ébullition. S'il est nécessaire d'analyser des traces de composés à bas points d'ébullition, un système à volume variable tel que celui décrit dans la méthode ASTM D 3700 est recommandé.

ISO 4257:2001 - Liquefied petroleum gases (LPG) - Method of sampling

Overview

ISO 4257:2001 specifies the standardized procedure for obtaining representative liquid samples of unrefrigerated liquefied petroleum gases (LPG) for laboratory testing and compositional analysis.

It is intended primarily for sampling from bulk containers and pipelines and supports compositional testing by ISO 7941. It is not intended for trace analysis of low‑boiling components (see ASTM D 3700 for variable‑volume receivers).

Key topics and technical requirements

Scope and purpose: Sampling method for liquid‑phase LPG (propane, butanes and related hydrocarbons) to produce representative samples for laboratory analysis.

Representative sampling: Take samples from the liquid phase only; avoid vessel bottoms; improve homogeneity by circulation and wait 30 minutes before sampling to allow settling and dissipation of static charge.

Sample container design: Use metal, corrosion‑resistant two‑valve containers with an ullage tube sized so that the container is filled to 80% (V/V) liquid (20% ullage). Stainless steel is recommended; aluminium is not permitted. Single‑valve containers are not acceptable. Label cylinders with sampling metadata.

Transfer line and fittings: Use metal transfer lines with a control valve, vent valve, and a pressure‑relief valve vented to a safe location. The section to the container valve should use armoured flexible tubing. Use metal sample connectors.

Purging and filling procedure: Purge transfer line, purge the container (repeat at least three times) and then fill. Steps include controlled venting and rotation of the container to flush residual contamination.

Ullage and leak checking: Immediately provide ullage by releasing excess liquid until vapour appears, leaving 80% liquid. Check for leaks (for example by immersion). Discard and re‑sample if leaks occur.

Safety precautions: Ground/bond equipment, use PPE (gloves, goggles), avoid skin contact and inhalation, pressure‑test containers, cap valves for transport, and comply with local transport regulations. Cleaning with acetone then pentane and purging with gaseous propane is described for previously contaminated containers.

Applications and users

Useful to: petroleum terminal operators, ship/shore transfer personnel, sampling technicians, quality control (QC) laboratories, regulators and inspection bodies involved in LPG trade, custody transfer and product quality verification.

Typical applications: creating representative LPG samples for gas chromatography compositional analysis, product specification verification (ISO 9162), custody transfer disputes, and routine quality control.
