1、Designation:D126511Standard Practice forSampling Liquefied Petroleum(LP)Gases,Manual Method1This standard is issued under the fixed designation D1265;the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or,in the case of revision,the year of last revision.A number
2、in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval.Asuperscript epsilon()indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1.Scope*1.1 This practice covers equipment and procedures forobtaining a representative sample of specification LiquefiedPetroleum Gas(LPG),such as specified
3、 in SpecificationD1835,GPA 2140,and comparable international standards.1.2 This practice is suitable for obtaining representativesamples for all routine tests for LP gases required by Specifi-cation D1835.In the event of a dispute involving sampleintegrity when sampling for testing against Specifica
4、tionD1835 requirements,Practice D3700 shall be used as thereferee sampling procedure.1.3 This practice may also be used for other Natural GasLiquid(NGL)products that are normally single phase(NGLmix,field butane,etc.),defined in other industry specificationsor contractual agreements.It is not intend
5、ed for non-specification products that contain significant quantities ofundissolved gases(N2,CO2),free water or other separatedphases,such as raw or unprocessed gas/liquids mixtures andrelated materials.The same equipment can be used for thesepurposes,but additional precautions are generally needed
6、toobtain representative samples of multiphase products(seeAppendix X1 on Sampling Guidelines in Practice D3700).NOTE1Practice D3700 describes a recommended practice for obtain-ing a representative sample of a light hydrocarbon fluid and the subse-quent preparation of that sample for laboratory analy
7、sis when dissolvedgases are present.Use of Practice D1265 will result in a small butpredictable low bias for dissolved gases due to the liquid ventingprocedure to establish the 20%minimum ullage.1.4 This practice includes recommendations for the locationof a sample point in a line or vessel.It is th
8、e responsibility ofthe user to ensure that the sampling point is located so as toobtain a representative sample.1.5 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded asstandard.No other units of measurement are included in thisstandard.1.6This standard does not purport to address all of thesafety con
9、cerns,if any,associated with its use.It is theresponsibility of the user of this standard to establish appro-priate safety and health practices and determine the applica-bility of regulatory limitations prior to use.2.Referenced Documents2.1 ASTM Standards:2D1835 Specification for Liquefied Petroleu
