1.0 SCOPE
This standard shall be applied by the contractor when developing the engineering data sheets for
the design of analyzing system.
Deviations must be specified in writing by the contractor as a supplement and shall be approved by
OWNER.
In case of any conflict between the Owners approved supplements and this standard, the
supplements shall take priority.
2.0 GENERAL
All on-line analyzers shall be designed with the state of the art technology and shall have its own
processor, sampling point, sample conditioning and utilities supply system. All sections shall be
designed by the manufacturer and integrated to form a complete, self contained unit.
All on - line analyzer shall be interfaced to a “user friendly” analyzer management and data
acquisition system that is capable of monitoring and retrieving analyzer performance and
maintenance data.
In general all on - line analyzer electrical enclosures shall be designed to meet the area
classification in which it is installed. Even if the Analyzers are installed inside the Analyzer house
the contractor shall design the enclosure of the analyzers to meet the area classification outside
the house so that they can operate without the house ventilation system.
The purpose of the sampling system is to ensure that the analyzer receives a sample
representative of the process stream with the minimum of delay, in a state (temperature,
pressure, cleanliness, flow- rate) such that the analyzer may satisfactorily operate. The
sampling system shall include all components necessary for proper and safe operation.
Probes, valves, filters, coolers, pressure regulators, pressure relief valves, piping, pumps,
and all other necessary equipment should be included as required.

Sampling systems should be designed to minimize product /material waste through the use of
fast circulating systems and sample recovery techniques.
Sampling system lags may be kept to acceptable limits by locating the analyzer close to the
sample take- off point, or by increasing the velocity of the sample (e.g. fast circulation loop or
by -pass to vent, drain or alternative disposal point).
Sampling systems and their components shall be installed in such a manner that they can be
readily maintained and shall be installed inside stainless steel boxes with glass window.
Sampling systems selected by contractor shall be proven in similar applications under similar
installation conditions.
The physical or chemical properties which are to be measured shall not be changed in the
sampling system unless specifically required for the analysis.
API RP 550 part 2, EEUMA 138 shall be followed for design of analyzer systems.

process control avoiding unnecessary time lags.
c) The sample point shall be located in a position to utilize process differential pressures for
any fast circulating loops.
d) The sample take off points shall be readily accessible from grade or permanent platforms.
e) Separate sampling points shall be provided for Online Analyzer and laboratory process
sample.

and liquid samples from the side. Where samples are taken from vertical lines liquid
samples shall only be taken when the flow is upwards.

process.

Fast circulating loops across the following sources of differential pressure shall be avoided:
Fast loops shall not be installed across orifice plates used for flow measurements, as it will
affect the accuracy of measurement.
When take off and return points are widely separated particular care shall be taken to ensure
no flow measurements or emergency isolation valves are by - passed.
The sample stream from the fast loop fed to the analyzer shall normally be filtered through a
self cleaning by - pass filter.
Specially installed pumps in fast loops shall be avoided because of their extra maintenance
requirements. It shall be ensured that the pump and its associated filter shall not degrade the
sample.
Facilities should be provided to indicate and regulate adequate flow in the loop.
b) The volume of liquid between the take - off point of the fast loop and the vaporizer shall be
minimized.
c) Heat tracing and lagging shall be provided as necessary, particularly to reduce heat
absorbed at the vaporizer.
d) Where there is a possibility for a liquid sample to vaporize from atmospheric heat, adequate
cold insulation shall be provided to maintain the temperature inside the sample transfer line
at the same temperature as the process operating temperature up to the vaporizer.
The Pressure of gas samples shall be reduced as close as possible to the sampling point or
the fast loop to reduce time lags. Heat tracing and lagging may be necessary at the pressure
reducer to replace heat lost effect. Where necessary sample lines shall be lagged and heat -
traced to avoid condensation.
Sample from lines containing two - phase mixtures or mixtures of immiscible fluids require
special consideration. Where analysis of the mixture is required the sample shall be
taken from a section of the line where the flow is turbulent.
A multi - stream switching system may be used with some types of analyzer. The cost
of a number of single - stream analyzers versus one multi - stream service shall be assessed
against the greater overall reliability of single - stream systems.
Use of multi-stream switching analyzer system shall be approved by Owner.

provision to do time based automatic drilling to clean the sample probe shall be
provided.
Sample probes shall be designed to minimize time lags. It is especially important to keep
the liquid volume to a minimum where liquid samples are to be vaporized to reduce such
lags.

response time required.
Fast circulating loops shall be considered as part of the process system and as such and
shall follow the relevant piping specifications. For other sampling systems it shall meet
