Automated REID vapor pressure analyzer AutoREID Benefits
Automated REID vapor pressure analyzer AutoREID Benefits: X X X X X X X Standards ASTM D 323 ASTM D 4953 ISO 3007 IP 69 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. Ordering information AA310-001 AutoREID – Automated Reid vapor pressure instrument Supplied with 2 pressure vessels (one opening) with fast coupling Technical specification Test method Pressure range ASTM D 323, D4953, ISO 3007 Up to 250 kPa Resolution 0,1 kPa Test time Interface Less than 15 minutes typical 8’’ full-color touch screen Language English, French, Russian Results storage Communication Database , USB stick, LAN 2 х USB 2.0, Ethernet port 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. Printing Dimensions Graphic printer (optional) 720x440x460 mm Weight Electrical 30 kg 230V - 8A – 50/60Hz Safety Your local distributor: We reserve the right to alter specifications without notification 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.
