3. DEFINITIONS
[I] The following are definitions of terms specific to this specification:
Term Definition
Volatile Sample Any sample that has a total vapour pressure in the range of 13 to 105
kPa (2 to 16 psia)
Toxic Sample Any sample that will be harmful to humans through dermal exposure or
classified as Respiratory Exposure Hazard Class R1, R2, or R3 by
ExxonMobil Biomedical Sciences, Inc. (EMBSI).
Hazardous Sample Any sample that is not permitted to be discharged into the atmosphere or
into an open drain by any applicable authority
4. SYSTEM DESIGN
1) [I] Sampling facilities shall be designed to meet the following objectives:
a) Be representative of the process composition at the time of sampling.
b) Be safe for personnel by providing protection against dermal and respiratory exposure,
excess thermal contact of skin, and overpressure and/or rupture hazards
c) Be environmentally friendly by providing appropriate containment of process fluids
2) [S] Types of sampling facilities will be specified per Table 1.
3) [C] The sampling system shall be specified using PNG LNG Projects datasheets for
documentation requirements and for the design specifications.
4) [E] To minimize discharge to the atmosphere and the disposal of purged samples, a fast-loop
design with the return line connected to an appropriate process point is preferred.
5) [C] If a process analyser with a sample transport and conditioning system is planned or
available for this sample stream, then the manual sampling system shall be incorporated into
the sample system of the process analyser. Such systems shall be designed according to
PG-PDS 15-08-02, and the design and supply of the manual sampling system shall then be in
the scope of the supplier of the sample transport and conditioning system.
6) [I] If a suitable source of pressure drop is not available, the use of a pump or an eductor is
acceptable. The selection of the pump and the utility consumption rates shall be subject to
approval by the project during detail design.
7) [C] The use of proven proprietary type sampling systems and valves are acceptable and
encouraged if the benefits and cost are favourable compared to the standard designs
referenced in Table 1.
8) [S], [I] The selection of the proprietary sampling system and valves plus installation details
shall be submitted for approval by the project during detail design.
9) If a "ram-type" valve is specified:
a) [O] For asphalt or materials of like viscosity. te piston shall extend approximately 25 mm
into the pipe or vessel.
b) [S] The valve shall have an indicator to show the position of the piston.
Page 6 of 28 Rev 1
c) [O] No block or check valves shall be installed in the sampling line for asphalt or materials
of like viscosity.
10) [O], [S] For low-pressure gases where the maximum pressure at the sample point is 21 kPa,
inflatable Mylar or Tedlar bags and/or bladders may be used as sample containers for Type E
sampling facilities (see Figure 11 or Figure 12). If the sample material is flammable, the area
within 1.5 m of the bags is to be designated Zone 2. The Owner shall provide safe storage,
such as laboratory fume-hoods or other well-ventilated areas, for sample bags awaiting
analysis.
11) [S] [R] The sample station design for collecting low-pressure samples using inflatable gas
bladders shall be as per Figure 11 or Figure 12.
12) [*] [O] [R] Type B sampling facilities are recommended for all volatile hydrocarbon samples
unless specific industry standard sampling systems are required by contract, regulation, or
Company standards and are specified by the Owner's Engineer. In this case, where permitted
and used in accordance with any applicable standards or regulations, a closed bottle system
(e.g., Dopak, Texas Sampling, or similar) is preferred to minimize operator exposure to
vapors from volatile samples.
13) An alternate sample cylinder installation design, which allows continuous flushing and
subsequent venting (to a flare or safe location) to a level as observed in the sightglass, is
shown in Figure 2A for Type B sampling facilities.

4.1. Cooling and Heating for Liquid and Gas Samples

1) [S] Sample coolers shall be used if required to cool the sample to 60oC or lower, but:
a) Not below a temperature that would result in a viscosity greater than 500 cP
b) Not to a temperature less than 14°C above the pour point and the freezing point of the
sample.
2) [C] The use of a horizontally installed finned pipe heat exchanger is preferred over a water-
cooled heat exchanger.
3) [O] The design of air coolers shall take into account the hottest months of the year as well as
local heat sources.
4) [I] The sample cooler or heat exchanger heat duty calculations and required cooling water
flow rates shall be documented for review by the project during detail design.
5) [R] Coolers for tar, asphalt, residuum, and waxy streams shall use co-current flow of water
and the fluid being sampled, and a water pre-heater, to avoid plugging of the cooler. A
thermal expansion pressure relief valve shall be provided.
Page 8 of 28 Rev 1
6) [R] For samples having a pour point or a freezing point above the lowest ambient design
temperature, or having a viscosity greater than 500 cP at the lowest ambient design
temperature, sample heaters shall be used to ensure its flow into the sample container.
Heaters shall raise the temperature of the sample to 14ºC above the pour point or freezing
point of the sample, or lower the viscosity to 500 cP.
7) [O] Temperature indicators for the process sample exiting the cooler shall be provided.
Coolers for tar, asphalt, residuum, and waxy streams shall have temperature indicators for
both exiting process sample and coolant. A high-temperature, self-acting shutoff valve may
be required to protect downstream equipment in the event of loss of cooling.
4.2. Lighting
[O] A minimum in-service illumination level of 215 lux shall be provided for sampling facilities. If
lighting is provided specifically for the sampling system, a local switch shall be provided.
5. SAMPLE CONNECTIONS
1) [S], [O] The final locations of sample points shall be governed by the following considerations
for personnel safety and accessibility:
a) They shall be convenient to normal operating locations as far as practicable.
b) The sample points preferably shall be accessible from ground level. If this is not
practical, they shall be accessible from permanent platforms.
c) At least two escape routes shall be available for personnel.
d) The locations shall allow personnel to stand upwind, based on the prevailing wind pattern.
e) The locations are not to be in areas of possible contamination if a spill of a hazardous
material should occur (e.g., they shall not be in areas inside pump toewalls).
2) [O] Sample tap positioning shall be per the following:
a) Liquid or gas streams – Sample taps shall be not closer than 20 pipe diameters
downstream or 10 pipe diameters upstream from the junction of two streams. Where two-
phase flow can exist, sample taps shall be no closer than 12 pipe diameters downstream
from a pressure reducer.
b) Fluidized solids streams – Sample taps shall be not closer than 8 pipe diameters
downstream or 2 pipe diameters upstream from a junction of two fluidized solids streams,
an elbow, valve, or other flow disruption.
3) [O] Sample tap orientation shall be per the following:
a) Where possible, sample taps should be installed in vertical lines with upward flow for
liquids or downward flow for gases or vapours.
b) If sample taps are installed in horizontal lines, side entry is preferred for liquids and top
entry for gases or vapours.
4) [S] Process vents and drains shall not be used as sample connections.
5) [O] Sample connections shall not be used for the installation of indicators or other instruments
that are extraneous to the sampling operation.
6) [R], [O] Sample systems shall be designed with sample cylinder connections for
interchangeable (identical), site-approved, sample cylinders. Cylinders must meet the
pressure rating of the system.
7) [S] All sample cylinders shall have an ullage dipleg to allow for thermal expansion. Sample
cylinders used for collecting LPG samples shall have ullage diplegs sized to limit the cylinder
to 80% liquid volume.

6. PIPING
6.1. Design
1) [I] After selection of an appropriate source of pressure drop, the hydraulics calculations shall
be performed to select smallest size pipe or tubing that will result in maximum 60 seconds
transport delay between the sample takeoff point (at the process pipe) and the sample
collection point. Transport delay calculations shall take into account any sample cooler or
heater between the two points. A fast loop bypass arrangement shall be provided to ensure
collection of a representative sample. The hydraulics calculations shall be submitted for
review during detail design.
2) [S] Sample piping shall be as short as possible and shall be adequately supported and braced
to minimize the possibility of damage by vibration, accidental impact, or reaction forces
caused by valve operation. For long sample piping runs, expansion loops shall be provided to
minimize warping or damage due to temperature variations.
3) [S] Soft seated ball and plug valves larger than 2 in. shall not be used as the primary block
valves on lines discharging to the atmosphere.
4) [A], [S] For sample fluids that may plug or corrode the piping if left standing, provision for
manual flushing of both the sample supply line and the sample return line shall be made. The
selection of flushing fluid shall be approved during detail design.
5) [I] Additional information on piping design and fabrication is available in PG-PDS 03-01-01
and PG-PDS 03-18-01, respectively.
6.2. Materials
1) [R] The materials for sample systems shall be as per PG-PDS 03-06-01.
2) [S] If there is a possibility that the sample stream temperature can be below –29°C, including
when the low temperature results from flashing, all materials shall have suitable low-
temperature properties.
3) [S] Sample heaters and coolers shall be designed for the pressure/temperature conditions of
the stream being sampled. Materials of construction shall be suitable for the process fluid.
4) [R] For trace level sampling especially of highly adsorbent species, the following features
need to be incorporated:
a) Use of Silico steel or Sulfinert tubing, or electropolished tubing from sample takeoff point
to the sample collection vessel
b) Use of Silico steel or Sulfinerted sample bomb
c) Use of a constant-pressure cylinder for light hydrocarbon samples where components of
interest can potentially enter the vapour space of a cylinder equipped with an outage or
ullage tube
d) Use of Volatile Organic Analyte (VOA) glass bottles for low-pressure samples
7. TESTING
1) [S] Hydrostatic testing:
a) All piping shall be hydrostatically tested per ASME B31.3.
Page 10 of 28 Rev 1
b) Austenitic stainless steel piping and tubing shall be tested and flushed with water having
less than 50 ppm (50 mg/L) of chlorides. Potable water will meet this requirement. The
piping and tubing shall be drained immediately after flushing and residual water removed
by blowing with air.
2) [S] A leakage test shall be conducted on the entire system, at the specified design pressure.
Maximum permissible leakage rates are as follows:
a) Gas Systems: 5% change per hour.
b) Liquid Systems: No visible leakage.

c) Fluidized Solids Systems: No visible dust plume.
8. INSULATING FOR PERSONNEL PROTECTION

1) [S] Equipment requiring insulation for heat conservation and located within 300 mm
horizontally or 2100 mm vertically of a normal access, walkway, or work area shall be
insulated to provide a surface temperature no greater than 65°C.
2) [S] Equipment not requiring insulation for heat conservation and located within 300 mm
horizontally or 2100 mm vertically of a normal access, walkway, or work area shall be
provided with physical barriers such as caging, guards, shields, or railing to protect personnel
against accidental contact with surfaces that exceed 65°C. The use of thermal insulation in
lieu of physical barriers is acceptable only for surfaces that operate continuously at
temperatures of 149ºC or greater.
9. SAMPLE POINT IDENTIFICATION

1) [S] Sample points shall be identified with a permanent, corrosion resistant tag securely fastened
(adhesive fastening is not acceptable). Each tag is to include the following information:
a) Unit name
b) Unit sample identification
c) Sample identification for accounting purposes
d) Physical state (liquid, vapour, or solid)
e) Temperature
f) Pressure
g) Warning signs shall be posted if toxic substances are present, which shall indicate if breathing
apparatus (B.A.) should be worn.
2) [O] [R] For samples that require highly accurate time-stamping (e.g., some samples taken for
analyser validation) on specified time intervals, suitable instrumentation such as a flow-activated
flow switch or a pushbutton shall be provided at the sampling station to provide a contact closure
signal into the Digital Control System (DCS) for accurate recording of the time of sampling.

NOTES:
(1) Commercially available coolers are acceptable and encouraged for use in the circulation loop. Commercially available
coolers such as those made by Texas Sampling and Sentry provide proven solution that may be more cost-effective
compared to the above standard design. Commercially available coolers that are self draining are acceptable, in lieu of the
design shown, for use in the discharge line.
(2) Piping thickness and material shall be consistent with the piping classification for the fluid handled.
(3) Cooling water rate shall be based on cooling requirements.
(4) [*] As specified, the cooling water outlet shall be connected to the cooling water return line or piped to sewer. If connected
to the return line, a flow sight glass and valve shall be installed in the outlet line. The discharge piping shall be protected
from freezing.
(5) Because of potential for thermal expansion, a valve if installed in the cooling water outlet line should be car sealed open
(CSO).
(6) In case of sea water as a coolant, material selection for the cooler shall additionally take into account erosion.
(7) [A] To prevent over-pressurization, bucket-type open-top coolers may be used subject to Owner's Engineer's approval.
(8) In so far as practicable, use of horizontally installed air-finned pipe cooler is preferred over a water-cooled exchanger.
(9) A thermal expansion warning sign should be posted on the cooler.

cost considerations. Life-Cycle cost considerations are captured under reliability,
maintainability, or operability purpose codes.
E Assigned to paragraphs containing specifications whose primary purpose is driven by
environmental considerations. Environmental considerations typically include specifications
intended to protect against emissions/leakage to the air, water, and/or soil. Deviations from the
specifications contained in such paragraphs require formal review and approval according to
local environmental policy.
I Assigned to paragraphs that provide only clarifying information such as Scope statements,
definitions of terms, etc.
M Assigned to paragraphs containing specifications whose primary purpose is to provide for
maintainability of equipment or systems. Maintainability provisions are those that facilitate the
performance of maintenance on equipment/systems either during downtimes or during on-
stream operations.
O Assigned to paragraphs containing specifications whose primary purpose is to assure
operability of equipment or systems. Operability is the ability of the equipment/system to
perform satisfactorily even though conditions are off-design, such as during startups, process
swings, subcomponent malfunction, etc.
R Assigned to paragraphs containing specifications whose primary purpose is to improve or
assure the reliability of equipment or systems. Reliability is a measure of the ability of
equipment/systems to operate without malfunction or failure between planned maintenance
interventions.
S Assigned to paragraphs containing specifications whose primary purpose is avoidance of
personnel or operational safety incidents. Any deviation from the specifications contained in
such designated paragraphs requires formal review and approval according to local safety
policy.
Personnel Safety: Refers to the avoidance of recordable personnel injuries; i.e., burns, cuts,
