Crude petroleum and petroleum products - Determination of density - Oscillating U-tube method (ISO 12185:1996)

Gives a method for the determination, using an oscillation U-tube densitometer, of the density of crude petroleum and related products within the range 600 kg/m^3 to 1 100 kg/m^3 which can be handled as single-phase liquids at the test temperature and pressure.

Pétroles bruts et produits pétroliers - Détermination de la masse volumique - Méthode du tube en U oscillant (ISO 12185:1996)

La présente Norme internationale prescrit une méthode pour la détermination, au moyen d'un densimètre à tube en U oscillant, de la masse volumique des pétroles bruts et produits pétroliers qui sont des liquides monophasés à la température et à la pression d'essai dans le domaine de masse volumique compris entre 600 kg/m3 et 1 100 kg/m3.  La présente Norme internationale est applicable aux liquides de n'importe quelle tension de vapeur, dans la mesure où des précautions appropriées sont prises pour s'assurer que ces liquides restent à l'état monophasé sans perte des fractions légères et changement consécutif de la composition et de la masse volumique au cours de la manipulation de l'échantillon et au cours du mesurage de sa masse volumique.  
NOTE 1 Si la masse volumique déterminée est à convertir en une masse volumique à une température de référence, en utilisant des tables de mesure du pétrole, il convient d'effectuer la détermination à une température aussi proche que possible de la température de référence, afin de minimiser les incertitudes liées à l'utilisation de tables généralisées.  La présente méthode n'est pas applicable aux densimètres en ligne.

Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide
federation of national Standards bodies (ISO member bodies). The work
of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO
technical committees. Esch member body interested in a subject for
which a technical committee has been established has the right to be
represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental
and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO
collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission
(IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.
Draft International Standards adopted by the technical committees are
circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an International
Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting
a vote.
International Standard ISO 12185 was prepared by Technical Committee
ISO/TC 28, Petroleum products and lubricants, Subcommittee SC 3,
Static Petroleum measurement.
