Direct REID vapor pressure measurement
Fully traceable, documented test results
Two independent measurements positions
Automation reduces operator involvement
Robust design requires little or no maintenance
Small foot print, fast warm up, precise measurements
Perfectly suited for testing crude oil
The AutoREID apparatus from AD systems is an automated Reid Vapor pressure
instrument in full compliance with ASTM D323-B, ASTM 4953, and similar standards.
These methods are for the determination of vapor pressure of gasoline, volatile crude oil,
and other volatile petroleum products. The Reid method is particularly suitable for
determination of vapor pressure of crude oil for transportation, storage and general
handling purposes. The instrument directly measures the Reid vapor pressure without
correlation or calculation.
Modern ergonomic design, fully automated interface, and convenient operation make the AutoREID
an excellent alternative to mini-methods for reliable and precise vapor pressure measurement.
The AutoREID is compact with two measurement positions allowing two simultaneous and
independent measurements. An additional position in the bath allows for vapor chamber conditioning,
increasing test productivity. The test pressure vessels with quick connections assure fast and easy
operation. The AutoREID design allows testing of viscous and sticky samples or samples containing
suspended particles without the risk of instrument damage. Vigorous mechanical agitation of pressure
vessels accelerates pressure stabilization even on “difficult” samples such as crude oil. All components
of the test pressure vessel are easy to disassemble and clean.
Operation
Test documenting
The sample, prepared in accordance with the test
method is poured in the liquid chamber which is coupled
with the vapor chamber by means of specially designed
quick coupling connector. The assembled pressure vessel
is completely sealed. The operator enters test
identification in just a few keystrokes, places the
pressure vessel in water bath precisely maintained at
37,8°C (100°F) and connects the pressure link by quick
connector. The test begins automatically. The pressure
vessel is agitated by reverse rotation and the pressure
curve is displayed in real time on the large color monitor.
All details related to each test result are stored.
Complete test report including sample ID, operator
name, date/time, RVP value and the pressure curve is
displayed on the screen and saved into local database.
Multi-criteria search function facilitates retrieval of test
report in the database. The software is able to calculate
and report average RVP value of two parallel
measurements of the same sample.
The test data can be printed, stored on a USB memory
stick and/or send to a LIMS when the AutoREID is
connected to a LAN.

Two simultaneous measurements can be run
independently and simultaneously.
As soon as maximum stable pressure is reached, the test
stops automatically and the saturated vapor pressure
(RVP) is recorded. The operator is prompted by audio
and visual signalization that test is completed.

During the test the software monitors for leaks and
prompts the operator if pressure drops. The watchdog
system constantly monitors bath temperature stability,
bath level, overpressure and overheating, assuring high
quality results and increased safety. Transparent bath
cover provides for visual inspection of the pressure vessels
during the test. Special auto-stop drive system protects
the operator without disruption of the test.
Quality
Instrument calibration is easy to perform on-site via
dedicated menu. Pressure transducers can be checked
against a reference manometer at any time using the
built-in T-connector. The bath temperature can be verified
using a certified reference thermometer.
All information related to the instrument calibration is
stored to ensure a complete traceability. The instrument
calibrations are date/time stamped. The calibration
interval can be managed in the software.
