Designation:D800915Manual of Petroleum Measurement Standards(MPMS),Chapter 8.5Standard Practice forManual Piston Cylinder Sampling for Volatile Crude Oils,Condensates,and Liquid Petroleum Products1This standard is issued under the fixed designation D8009;the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or,in the case of revision,the year of last revision.A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval.Asuperscript epsilon()indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1.Scope1.1 This practice includes the equipment and procedures forobtaining a representative sample of“live”or high vaporpressure crude oils,condensates,and/or liquid petroleumproducts from low pressure sample points,where there isinsufficient sample point pressure to use a Floating PistonCylinder(FPC)as described in Practice D3700.1.2 This practice is intended for use with sample types,suchas UN Class 3 Flammable Liquids,that might have beencollected and transported using open containers.The use of amanual piston cylinder in place of open containers is intendedto prevent the loss of volatile(light end)components,whichcan impact subsequent test results.1.3 This practice is suitable for sampling crude oils,condensates,and/or liquid petroleum products having truevapor pressures less than 300 kPa(43 psia nominal)at 50 C.This practice applies to samples that will typically fall betweenPractices D4057(API MPMS Chapter 8.1)and D3700.Thispractice shall not be used for materials classified as UN Class2 Gases2(“having a vapor pressure greater than 300 kPa at50 C or is completely gaseous at 20 C at 101.3 kPa.”).1.4 This practice allows for sampling of crude oils that flowfreely at the conditions of sampling.1.5 It is the responsibility of the user to ensure that thesampling point is located so as to obtain a representativesample.1.6 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded asstandard.1.6.1 ExceptionThe values given in parentheses are forinformation only.1.7 This standard does not purport to address all of thesafety concerns,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:3D3700 Practice for Obtaining LPG Samples Using a Float-ing Piston CylinderD4057 Practice for Manual Sampling of Petroleum andPetroleum ProductsD4177 Practice for Automatic Sampling of Petroleum andPetroleum ProductsD6377 Test Method for Determination of Vapor Pressure ofCrude Oil:VPCRx(Expansion Method)D6378 Test Method for Determination of Vapor Pressure(VPX)of Petroleum Products,Hydrocarbons,andHydrocarbon-Oxygenate Mixtures(Triple ExpansionMethod)D7975 Test Method for Determination of Vapor Pressure ofCrude Oil:VPCRx-F(TmC)(Manual Expansion FieldMethod)2.2 API Standards:4MPMS Chapter 8.1 Manual Sampling of Petroleum andPetroleum ProductsMPMS Chapter 8.2 Automatic Sampling of Petroleum andPetroleum Products3.Terminology3.1 Definitions:1This practice is under the jurisdiction of ASTM Committee D02 on PetroleumProducts,Liquid Fuels,and Lubricants and the API Committee on PetroleumMeasurement,and is the direct responsibility of Subcommittee D02.02/COMQ thejoint ASTM-API Committee on Hydrocarbon Measurement for Custody Transfer(Joint ASTM-API).This practice has been approved by the sponsoring committeesand accepted by the Cooperating Societies in accordance with established proce-dures.This practice was issued as a joint ASTM-API standard in 2015.Current edition approved Dec.1,2015.Published December 2015.DOI:10.1520/D8009-15.2UN Recommendations of the Transportation of Dangerous Goods,Chapter2.2.1.1.3For referenced ASTM standards,visit the ASTM website,www.astm.org,orcontact ASTM Customer Service at serviceastm.org.For Annual Book of ASTMStandards volume information,refer to the standards Document Summary page onthe ASTM website.4Available from American Petroleum Institute(API),1220 L.St.,NW,Washington,DC 20005-4070,http:/www.api.org.Copyright ASTM International,100 Barr Harbor Drive,PO Box C700,West Conshohocken,PA 19428-2959.United States1 3.1.1 dead crude oil,ncrude oil with sufficiently lowvapor pressure that,when exposed to normal atmosphericpressure at room temperature,does not result in boiling of thesample.3.1.1.1 DiscussionThese crudes will have vapor pressuresbelow atmospheric pressure at room temperature.3.1.1.2 DiscussionA crude oil is normally considered“live”until the vapor pressure can be established using TestMethods D6377,D6378,or D7975.Sampling and handling ofdead crude oils can usually be performed without concern inopen,non-pressurized sample containers,such as cans,bottles,and other atmospheric containers as described in PracticeD4057(API MPMS Chapter 8.1).3.1.2 live crude oil,ncrude oil with sufficiently high vaporpressure that it would boil if exposed to normal atmosphericpressure at
