Liquid petroleum products - Vapour pressure - Part 1: Determination of air saturated vapour pressure (ASVP) and calculated dry vapour pressure equivalent (DVPE)

This European Standard specifies a method for the determination of the air saturated vapour pressure (ASVP) (total vapour pressure), exerted in vacuo, by volatile, low viscosity petroleum products, components, ethanol blends up to 85 % (V/V), and feedstocks containing air. A dry vapour pressure equivalent (DVPE) can be calculated from the air containing vapour pressure (ASVP) measurement.
The conditions used in the test described in this standard are a vapour-to-liquid ratio of 4:1 and a test temperature of 37,8 °C.
The equipment is not wetted with water during the test, and the method described is therefore suitable for testing samples with or without oxygenates; no account is taken of dissolved water in the sample.
This method described is suitable for testing air saturated samples with a DVPE between 15,5 kPa and 106,0 kPa; vapour pressures outside this range can be measured but the precision has not been determined.
This document is applicable to fuels containing oxygenated compounds up to the limits stated in the relevant Council Directive 85/536/EEC [10], and for ethanol-fuel blends up to 85 % (V/V) ethanol.
NOTE   For the purposes of this European Standard, the terms "% (m/m)" and "% (V/V)" are used to represent the mass and volume fractions respectively.
WARNING - The use of this standard can involve hazardous materials, operations and equipment. This standard does not purport to address all of the safety problems associated with its use. It is the responsibility of users of this standard to take appropriate measures to ensure the safety and health of personnel prior to application of the standard, and fulfil statutory and regulatory requirements for this purpose.

Flüssige Mineralölerzeugnisse - Dampfdruck - Teil 1: Bestimmung des luftgesättigten Dampfdruckes (ASVP) und des berechneten dem trockenen Dampfdruck entsprechenden Druckes (DVPE)

Dieses Dokument legt ein Verfahren zur Bestimmung des luftgesättigten Dampfdruckes (en: air saturated vapour pressure, ASVP) (absoluter Dampfdruck) fest, der im Vakuum von flüchtigen, niedrigviskosen Mineralölerzeugnissen, Komponenten, Ethanol-Blends bis zu 85 % (V/V) und Einsatzprodukten, die Luft enthalten, ausgeübt wird. Der dem trockenen Dampfdruck entsprechende Druck (en: dry vapour pressure equivalent, DVPE) kann anhand des Messwertes für den luftgesättigten Dampfdruck (ASVP) berechnet werden.
Die in der in diesem Dokument beschriebenen Prüfung verwendeten Bedingungen sind ein Dampf-Flüssigkeitsverhältnis von 4 : 1 und eine Prüftemperatur von 37,8 °C.
Das Prüfgerät wird während der Prüfung nicht mit Wasser benetzt, das beschriebene Verfahren ist daher für Proben sowohl mit als auch ohne sauerstoffhaltige Komponenten geeignet; in der Probe gelöstes Wasser wird nicht berücksichtigt.
Das beschriebene Verfahren ist für die Prüfung luftgesättigter Proben mit einem DVPE zwischen 15,5 kPa und 106,0 kPa geeignet; Dampfdrücke außerhalb dieses Bereichs können gemessen werden, die Präzision wurde jedoch nicht ermittelt.
Dieses Dokument ist anwendbar auf Kraftstoffe, die sauerstoffhaltige Komponenten bis hin zu den in der maßgebenden Richtlinie des Rates 85/536/EWG [10] angegebenen Grenzen enthalten, sowie für Ethanol-Kraftstoff-Gemische mit einem Ethanolanteil von bis zu 85 % (V/V).
ANMERKUNG Für die Anwendung dieses Dokuments werden die Bezeichnungen "% (m/m)" und "% (V/V)" zur Angabe des Massenanteils bzw. des Volumenanteils verwendet.
WARNUNG - Die Anwendung dieses Dokuments kann die Anwendung gefährlicher Stoffe, Arbeitsgänge und Geräte mit sich bringen. Dieses Dokument beansprucht nicht, alle damit verbundenen Sicherheitsprobleme zu behandeln. Es liegt in der Verantwortung des Anwenders dieses Dokuments, vor der Anwendung geeignete Maßnahmen für die Sicherheit und den Gesundheitsschutz des Personals zu ergreifen, und die Geltung weiterer diesbezüglicher Auflagen zu prüfen.

Produits pétroliers liquides - Pression de vapeur - Partie 1 : Détermination de la pression de vapeur saturée en air (PVSA) et de la pression de vapeur sèche équivalente calculée (PVSE)

Le présent document spécifie une méthode de détermination de la pression de vapeur saturée en air (PVSA) (pression de vapeur totale) exercée dans le vide par des produits pétroliers, des constituants pétroliers, des mélanges contenant de l’éthanol jusqu’à une teneur de 85 % (V/V) et des bases pétrolières contenant de l'air, volatils et de faible viscosité. Il est possible de calculer une pression de vapeur sèche équivalente (PVSE) à partir de la pression de vapeur saturée en air mesurée (PVSA).
Les conditions mises en œuvre dans l’essai du présent document correspondent à un rapport vapeur sur liquide de 4:1 et une température d’essai de 37,8 °C.
L'équipement n'étant pas en contact avec de l'eau au cours de l'essai, la méthode est par conséquent applicable aux échantillons contenant ou non des composés oxygénés. Il n'est pas tenu compte de l'eau dissoute dans l'échantillon.
La méthode décrite convient au contrôle d'échantillons saturés en air ayant une PVSE comprise entre 15,5 kPa et 106,0 kPa ; les pressions de vapeur qui se trouvent en dehors de cet intervalle peuvent être mesurées mais la fidélité n’est alors pas déterminée.
Le présent document s’applique aux carburants contenant des composés oxygénés dans les limites définies par la Directive du Conseil 85/536/CEE correspondante [10] et aux carburants contenant de l’éthanol jusqu’à une teneur de 85 % (V/V).
NOTE    Pour les besoins du présent document, les termes "% (m/m)" et "% (V/V)" représentent respectivement  la fraction massique et volumique.
AVERTISSEMENT - L'utilisation du présent document peut impliquer des produits, des opérations et des équipements à caractère dangereux. Le présent document n'est pas censé aborder tous les problèmes de sécurité concernés par son usage.

Introduction
Vapour pressure is used as a classification criterion for the safe handling and carriage of petroleum
products, feedstocks and components; it has a relationship to the potential for hydrocarbon emissions,
under uncontrolled conditions, and thus is the subject of environmental scrutiny.
Vapour pressure limitations are often imposed to prevent pump cavitation during transfer operations.
Vapour pressure is one measure of the volatility characteristics of fuels used in many differing types of
engines with large variations in operating temperatures. Fuels having a high vapour pressure can
vaporize too readily in the fuel handling systems, resulting in decreased flow to the engine and possible
stoppage by vapour lock. Conversely, fuels of low vapour pressure can vaporize not readily enough,
resulting in difficult starting, slow warm-up and poor acceleration.

4 Principle
A cooled air saturated sample of known volume is injected into a thermostatically controlled evacuated
chamber, or into a chamber that is evacuated by means of a moveable piston after sample introduction,
the internal volume of which is five times that of the total test portion introduced into the chamber. After
injection into the chamber, the sample is allowed to reach thermal equilibrium at the test temperature
37,8 °C. The resulting total pressure in the chamber is equivalent to the vapour pressure of the sample
and the partial pressure of the dissolved air and is measured using a pressure sensor and indicator. The
measured total vapour pressure can be converted to a dry vapour pressure equivalent (DVPE) by use of
a correlation formula.

7.5 Samples in leaking containers shall not be considered for testing, but shall be discarded and new
samples obtained.
8 Sample preparation
8.1 The vapour pressure determination shall be the first test on a sample. For referee testing, only one
test portion shall be taken from the container; for routine testing, it is permitted for further samples to
be taken from the same container 8.2 and to 8.6 shall be followed.
NOTE An ASTM precision evaluation in 2003 [7] indicated that when a second test portion was taken from a
250 ml sample container, a slight loss of vapour pressure was observed.
8.2 Before the sample container is opened, place it in the cooling equipment (6.2) and allow sufficient
time for the container and contents to cool to between 0 °C and 1 °C. Sufficient time to reach this
temperature may be ensured by direct measurement of the temperature of a similar liquid in a similar
container placed in the same bath at the same time as the sample.
8.3 With the sample at 0 °C to 1 °C, remove the container from the cooling equipment and wipe dry
with an absorbent material. Unseal the container (if it is not transparent) and examine the sample
content.
8.4 The sample content shall be 70 % (V/V) to 80 % (V/V) of the container capacity. Discard the sample
if its volume is less than 70 % (V/V) of the container capacity. If the container is more than 80 % (V/V)
full, pour out a sufficient amount of sample to bring the container contents within the 70 % (V/V) to 80 %
(V/V) range. Under no circumstances shall any sample be returned to the container if it has been
previously poured out. Reseal the container and return it to the cooling equipment (6.2).
