4 INTRODUCTION
4.1 FUNCTION
The Model 1354 Vapour Pressure Analyser is a process instrument that continuously
measures the vapour pressure of liquid streams. The vapour pressure information may be
indicated directly or transmitted for automatic blending and injection control of various
hydrocarbon process streams. The Monitor is intended for use with liquids having
viscosities up to a maximum of 10 centipoise (cP).
The Vapour Pressure Analyser provides consistent and accurate readings by measuring
the vapour pressure of the sample under standardised conditions. The incoming sample
stream is heated or cooled and regulated accurately to a temperature of 100oF
(37.8oC). If reinsertion of the sample into the process stream is desired, a suitable
pump may be required. The nominal sample flow rate in the instrument is about 55 to
230 litres per hour depending upon the back pressure and the type of sample.
4.2 SAFETY
The Vapour Pressure Analyser is component certified to meet ATEX requirements for
installation in potentially hazardous environments. The following certificates apply:

4.3 OPTIONS
4.3.1 VOLTAGE
The Monitor is available to suit 100-125V or 200-250V supplies. Change of voltage range
involves replacement of a solid-state relay, fuses, neon lamps, the motor overload cut-out
and the heater. Changes must be made to the Temperature Controller mains transformer
tappings.
4.3.2 SAMPLE PRESSURE
The minimum sample pressure is 7 bar (100 lbf/in2). Sample preparation systems can be
offered for lower inlet pressures and for sample return.
4.3.3 PRESSURE TRANSMITTER

Most makes and types of absolute pressure transmitter can be accommodated. Note that
the overall certification provides for a limited number of models.
4.3.4 RANGE
The standard model reads vapour pressures up to 1.6 bars absolute (22 psia). Units for
higher vapour pressures are available upon request.

Issue 6, 18/02/2015
5 PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION
The measuring principle of the instrument can be compared to that employed in the
laboratory eductor air pump. The sample is brought to a standard temperature of 100 oF
(37.8oC) and forced through a jet orifice in which the increase in fluid velocity creates a
pressure drop sufficient to induce incipient vaporisation of the sample. The minimum
absolute pressure reached in a jet orifice occurs when the static pressure of the liquid at the
nozzle exit reaches the effective vapour pressure of the sample.
The Analyser reads Kinetic vapour pressure which is defined as the pressure exerted when
a solid or liquid is at equilibrium with its own vapour. The industry standard test is the ASTM
method D-323-58 which determines the Reid vapour pressure. This is not true vapour
pressure since it includes a factor depending upon the expansion of a volume of air. Good
correlation between the Monitor reading and the laboratory reading is achieved.
The relationship between the fluid velocity and pressure is given by the flow energy
equation:
(V1)2 + P1 = (V2)2 + P2 + F2
V1 and V2 are the fluid velocities at the inlet and outlet respectively of the jet orifices.
P1 and P2 are the inlet and outlet pressure.
F2 is the fluid friction loss.
It is evident that if the outlet velocity V2 can be made sufficiently large while V1 and P1 are
held constant then, ignoring friction, the pressure of the fluid out of the nozzle can be
reduced to the effective vapour pressure of the sample. Since the fluid temperature is held
constant and the pressure at the nozzle inlet maintained at a level that causes vaporisation
of the sample, the pressure in the measuring chamber is an accurate measurement of the
effective vapour pressure.

6 TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION
6.1 SAMPLE FLOW PATH

Sample enters the Monitor at the sample inlet connector. To obtain reliable readings the
temperature of the incoming sample must be between 25°C - 50°C. It is preferable that the
sample temperature is maintained on one side or the other of the set-point temperature.
The flow then passes a 100 mesh Y-type filter which removes most contaminants. A
bypass line from the filter to the sample-out line permits cleaning of the filter. Flow in the
bypass line is prevented by closing the flush valve during normal operation.
Sample then flows to a pressure reducing regulator that produces a constant downstream
pressure; from there it passes through a heat exchanger comprising 4 coils of stainless
steel pipe in series-parallel immersed in an oil bath held at a constant temperature. A
resistance thermometer in the bath provides a signal enabling the temperature controller to
regulate the oil bath temperature. The sample temperature is controlled at 37.8 oC (100oF)
+ 0.01oC and can be checked by a standard mercury-in-glass thermometer fitted into a well
in the oil bath. The set point temperature is adjusted by means of dials mounted on the
front of the temperature controller enclosure.
The sample is applied at constant pressure to the measurement nozzle, the pressure being
controlled by a pressure regulator and displayed using a pressure gauge. It flows into a jet
orifice in the sensing device at the outlet of which vaporisation of the sample occurs. The
vapour pressure is indicated by a pressure gauge and then converted for remote monitoring
and control purposes by an absolute pressure transducer. Any possible back surge of
pressure resulting from downstream variations is prevented by a back pressure regulator.
6.2 GENERAL MECHANICAL DESCRIPTION

The major components, apart from the Temperature Controller, are mounted on a main
plate. An oil bath is screwed to the underside of the main plate and is mounted on two
angles welded to sleeves which ride on vertical pipe-stand legs. Two eye-bolt stop pins are
used to hold the sleeves in position when lowering or raising the oil bath, which is done
manually. Both the oil bath and the main plate are thermally insulated and enclosed in
heavy gauge steel. The Temperature Controller Box is mounted on housing brackets
bolted to the front legs of the stand.
6.2.1 MOTOR
A flameproof induction motor is flange mounted on the oil bath cover. The motor shaft
extends through the cover to drive the stirrer paddles. Voltages applied to the motor must
not exceed the rated value + 10%.
6.2.2 HEATER
In order to minimise the bath time-constant, a single, thin wall, stainless steel, low wattage
density, oil bath immersion heater is provided. The heater is connected to a non-resettable
thermal fuse. The heater is normally rated at 1.5kW at nominal mains voltage.

Issue 6, 18/02/2015
6.2.3 COOLING COIL
A 1/4in, stainless steel cooling coil is provided in the oil bath for constant circulation of
cooling water when a measurement temperature less than that of the process stream is
desired or high ambient temperature is expected.
Figure 1 – Coil Assembly

Issue 6, 18/02/2015
6.2.4 HEAT EXCHANGER
A 1/4in. EXT, stainless steel heat-exchanger is immersed in the oil bath. The sample flows
through 4 heat exchanger coils using 1/4in tubing connected in series-parallel. This
increases the heat transfer surface while at the same time reducing the pressure dropped
across the exchanger. A spiralled strip of metal is inserted inside along the length of all the
heat exchanger tubes to ensure that the sample is well mixed. This improves the heat
transfer by preventing streaming of the hot sample down the centre of the tubes.
6.2.5 STIRRERS
Two Hallikainen Size 1 stainless steel jet-stir impellers are used to agitate the bath oil,
minimising the overall bath time-constant and temperature gradients. The hollow stirrer
blades cause the bath oil to flow radically out through the blades at a high velocity as well
as in directions normal and tangential to the blade surfaces. The two stirrers have different
flow patterns defined by the angle of set of the impeller blades; this further improves the
efficiency of the mixing of the bath oil.
6.2.6 TRANSMITTER
The vapour pressure of the sample is transmitted, either electronically or pneumatically. It is
essential that the transmitter measure’s absolute pressure to avoid errors caused by
variations in atmospheric pressure.
6.2.7 PRESSURE GAUGES AND GAUGE SAVER

Gauges are provided that indicate inlet, outlet and nozzle pressures. The Gauge saver
protects the nozzle pressure gauge and the transmitter against damaging overpressures.

Issue 6, 18/02/2015
6.2.8 NOZZLE ASSEMBLY AND SENSING DEVICE
The sensing device on the nozzle assembly is adjusted, with a standard sample, to allow
final on site calibration to within the limits of ASTM D-323-58
Figure 2 – Nozzle Assembly

Issue 6, 18/02/2015
6.3 ELECTRICAL POWER
The electrical system provides power for the heater, the stirrer motor and the Temperature
Controller. The latter is protected by a quick-blow fuse located on its chassis; take care
that fluctuations of the incoming power supply do not interfere with its performance. The
Temperature Controller can accept variations of +10% in its power supply voltage provided
that the period of fluctuation is greater than the reset time to which the Controller has been
adjusted.
Since the maximum reset time is 100sec, this is the minimum permissible time in which the
incoming power may vary by more than 3%. If the period of variation is less, the operation
of the Temperature Controller may be upset. The resistance of the power supply lines must
be low enough to prevent step voltage changes, such as might be caused by switching the
heater load on and off, from exceeding 3%. The heater is protected by a non-resettable
thermal fuse that breaks the electrical circuit at a temperature of 130oC. If the fuse
requires renewal, see Section 7.5.
6.4 TEMPERATURE CONTROLLER
6.4.1 INTRODUCTION
A 100 ohm platinum sensing element used in conjunction with a 100 ohm fixed low
temperature-coefficient resistor is used as standard input to the Controller.
The Controller can be operated in any one of three modes as follows:

(1) On-off
(2) Time proportional
(3) Time proportional with reset (integral)
Modes (1) and (2) are used for test purposes only.
6.4.2 MECHANICAL DESCRIPTION
The Temperature Controller is housed in the electronic box. It comprises two printed circuit
boards, the Pre-Amplifier and the Main Amplifier. It has two controls and two indicator
lamps, designated as follows:
(1) Coarse
A 10-turn potentiometer is used to adjust the control temperature. The potentiometer
is adjusted by means of a two scale vernier dial which is calibrated in whole turns
(10) on the inner scale and in a percent of a turn on the outer scale. Readings on
these scales are expressed in terms of the smallest division on the scale (1% of a
turn); thus for two turns and 83% of a turn the potentiometer setting is quoted as
283. A lock is provided on the dial to prevent accidental movement.

Issue 6, 18/02/2015
(2) Fine
A 10-turn potentiometer is used to obtain fine control of set point in a similar
manner to the coarse control.
(3) Heater ON
A red neon lamp, mounted on the front panel lights when the heater is energised.
(4) Mains ON
Other controls are three internal PCB mounted switches which provide the
following:
(a) S1 - Gain
(b) S2 - Reset time
(c) S3 - On-off/proportional (OPTION)
6.4.3 ON/OFF OPERATION

In this mode, the heater is turned on when the oil bath temperature falls below set point and
is turned off when set point is reached. S3 is used to select this mode of operation of the
temperature control circuit.
6.4.4 PROPORTIONAL OPERATION (TABLE 1)

The heat input to the oil bath is controlled so that it is proportional to the difference between
the set point and the actual temperature. Using this method there is less likelihood of
over-shoot caused by residual heat contained in the heater element after the heater is
turned off.
The heater remains fully on or fully off until the temperature approaches the set-point. The
difference between the temperature at which the heater is turned off and the set-point
temperature is determined by the setting of S1, GAIN. The temperature bands
corresponding to the GAIN switch settings are listed in Table 1. Over the proportional band
the heat input the heater is on for one second, then off for one second.
6.4.5 RESET-INTEGRAL (TABLE 2)

In temperature control systems using proportional control only, the controlled temperature
is always a little below the set-point temperature. This error or droop can be affected by
external influences. The Reset facility introduces a correcting signal proportional to the
magnitude and duration of the temperature difference. The droop can thus be reduced to
zero.
6.5 PRESSURE
For most applications the calculated inlet pressure will not exceed the safe working
pressure of 40 bars. LPG represents a special case with an inlet pressure approaching the
safe maximum pressure of 40 bars.

exposure to extreme wind and direct heat from the sun. The Monitor may be housed in an
existing building such as a pump house, or a specially built shelter. In either case it is
essential to take adequate precautions regarding safety classification.
The location should include ample lighting for inspection and servicing.
7.3 SERVICE CONNECTIONS
7.3.1 MAINS POWER SUPPLY

Provide a flameproof isolating switch near to the equipment to enable the power to be
turned off for servicing.
Wire from the isolating switch to terminals L (LIVE), N (NEUTRAL) and E (EARTH) of TB2
in the temperature controller via approved 20mm glands.
7.3.2 SIGNAL INTERCONNECTIONS

Connect a clean and dry instrument air supply to the transmitter (or provide appropriate
electrical connections if an electrical transmitter is used). For details of the transmitter see
the separate manufacturer's handbook.

Issue 6, 18/02/2015
7.3.3 COOLING WATER
The sample temperature should fall within the range of 25 - 50oC with fluctuations not
exceeding 5oC. The function of cooling water is to reduce the oil bath temperature so that
the heater is required to maintain the temperature and thus to exercise control.
Water cooling is only required when the sample inlet temperature is about 30oC. Connect
the cooling water lines to the 1/4in ANPT female cooling water inlet and outlet elbows. To
prevent excessive temperature fluctuations in the oil bath install a water flow control valve
in the water line; to maintain a reasonably constant flow rate (up to a maximum of 50 l/h), it
is preferable to include a flowmeter.
7.3.4 SAMPLE
(a) Sample In
Connect the Sample In lines to the 1/4in ANPT male "IN" port. The maximum
permissible pressure on this line is 60 bar (900 lbf/in2). Allowance must be made
for the pressure drop in the incoming sample line at flow rates of up to 230 l/h.
(b) Sample Out
Connect the Sample Out lines to the 1/4in ANPT male "OUT" port. The sample out
is normally returned to the process line. If the outlet pressure is less than the
pressure of the line to which the stream is to be returned, a suitable pump must be
provided. (See 4.3)
7.3.5 RESPONSE TIME

The Analyser has a response time of about 40 seconds to a step change in sample vapour
pressure. This is mainly determined by the volume of sample in the heat exchanger and
the sample flow rate. If the Analyser is to be used to control injection of volatiles into a
hydrocarbon stream. The piping between the sampling point and the instrument should be
such that a change in vapour pressure of the blended stream is detected, and corrective
measures initiated rapidly after a change at the injection point. The sampling point can be
a minimum distance of 12 pipeline diameters downstream from the volatiles injection point
but only if the manner of injection ensures maximum mixing.
7.4 PRESSURE SETTINGS

Pressure settings are determined as follows:
(a) Measure or calculate the maximum pressure at the sample outlet connection on the
basis of the return line pressure, the pressure drop in the outlet line to the return line and
anticipated return line pressure fluctuations.
(b) To obtain the correct pressure setting for the back pressure regulator add one bar to the
value obtained in (a) above.
(c) Calculate the minimum inlet pressure by multiplying the value obtained in (a) above by
2.5 and increasing it by 7 bar.
NOTE: For most applications the calculated inlet pressure will not exceed the safe working
pressure of 40 bars. LPG represents a special case with an inlet pressure approaching the
safe maximum operating pressure of 40 bars. A properly designed sample system allows
considerable flexibility in respect of operating conditions.

8 PART 2 - COMMISSIONING
WARNING
THIS INSTRUMENT INCLUDES APPARATUS USING VOLTAGES THAT CAN

ENDANGER LIFE. IF IT IS THE DUTY OF ALL PERSONS WHO MAY BE CONCERNED
WITH OPERATION OR WORK UPON THE APPARATUS TO COMPLY WITH CURRENT
ELECTRICITY SAFETY REGULATIONS AND TO BE THOROUGHLY CONVERSANT
WITH ALL REGULATIONS GOVERNING THE WORK THEY UNDERTAKE.
SWITCH OFF THE POWER BEFORE RAISING OR LOWERING THE OIL BATH. WEAR
GLOVES.
THE FLAMEPROOF CONTROL UNIT MUST BE OPENED FOR CIRCUIT CHECKING,
WHICH CAN ONLY BE PERFORMED WITH THE POWER SWITCHED ON. WHERE THE
INSTRUMENT IS INSTALLED IN AN AREA CLASSIFIED ZONE 1 OR ZONE 2 SPECIAL
PERMISSION MUST BE OBTAINED FOR THE TESTS.
DISCONNECTION OF THE PROTECTIVE EARTH INSIDE OR OUTSIDE THE
APPARATUS WILL MAKE IT DANGEROUS. INTENTIONAL DISCONNECTION IS
PROHIBITED.
8.1 PREPARATION
(1) Insert the thermometer provided into the well directly above the sample outlet T. A
hook in the thermometer well cap is used to rotate the thermometer for ease of
reading and removal.
(2) Fill the oil bath housing up to the middle of the oil-fill elbow with oil having the following
properties:
(a) Good heat transference.
(b) Resistance to oxidation
(c) A closed-cup flash point of not less than 220oC (Mandatory)
(d) A vapour pressure at 180oC not more than 0.2mm Hg. (Mandatory)
NOTE: Filling is easier with the oil-bath dropped; if this is done, fill to 10mm below the filler
elbow. When the oil-bath is raised, sufficient oil will be displaced by the pipe-work to raise
the oil to the correct level.

Issue 6, 18/02/2015
(3) Fill the thermometer well with the same oil.
(4) Set the COARSE multi turn temperature-setting dial for the required operating
temperature. Set the FINE dial to mid-position (500).
(5) Set the following valves and controls:
(a) Close the external sample inlet valve.
(b) Close the filter flush valve
(c) Close the inlet pressure reducing regulator (fully counter-clockwise).
(d) Open the outlet pressure reducing regulator (minimum pressure).
(e) Switch the power OFF
(f) Switch the external air supply (if any) OFF
8.2 SETTING UP
8.2.1 PRELIMINARY OPERATIONS

Proceed as follows:
(1) Close the mains isolator. Switch on MOTOR and POWER.
(2) Open the cooling water valve.
(3) Wait until the oil bath temperature is within 5oC of the normal operating temperature.
(4) Set both pressure regulators to minimum pressure. (See 4.4, step 5)
(5) Open the outlet and then the inlet valve.
(6) Slowly increase the nozzle pressure by means of the inlet pressure regulator until the
nozzle pressure gauge reads about 1.7 bar gauge.
(7) Adjust the output regulator to give a reading on the output gauge of about 1 bar gauge
above the expected vapour pressure of the sample.
(8) By means of the inlet pressure regulator, raise the nozzle pressure gradually. The
vapour pressure gauge reading will rise until the sample starts to vaporise and will then
remain constant with rising nozzle pressure.
(9) Set the nozzle pressure to a value about 1 bar above the pressure at which
vaporisation commenced.
(10) The general operating conditions of the Monitor are now roughly set.
(11) Determine pressure settings as follows:

(a) Measure or calculate the maximum pressure at the sample outlet connection on
the basis of the return line pressure, the pressure drop in the outlet line to the
return line and anticipated return line pressure fluctuations.
(b) To obtain the correct pressure setting for the back pressure regulator add one bar
to the value obtained in (a).
(c) Calculate the minimum inlet pressure by multiplying the value obtained in (a) by
2.5 and increasing it by 7 bar.

Issue 6, 18/02/2015
8.2.2 ADJUSTMENT OF BATH OPERATING TEMPERATURE
The control unit is set during manufacture for optimum performance at the temperature
specified on the Data Sheet, which also lists the gain and reset dial settings. Load changes
(variation of ambient or sample fluid temperature) do not require changes in the optimum
settings. Ensure that sample is flowing before making any adjustments to the temperature.
To adjust the settings for a different operating temperature, proceed as follows.
WARNING
THE FLAMEPROOF UNIT MUST BE OPENED FOR THESE OPERATIONS SO POWER
MUST BE SWITCHED OFF AT EACH STOP, OR SPECIAL PERMISSION OBTAINED TO
WORK WITH THE ENCLOSURE OPEN AND POWER ON.
(1) Set the Gain switch (S1 on PA0333) to position 1 (maximum gain)
(2) Set the Re-set switch (S3 on PA0333) to ON. (ON/OFF control ON).
(3) Set the Coarse and Fine temperature dials so that the bath operates at the required
temperature. [see Calibration Curve Dwg #12833 for reference / Data Sheet]
(4) When the amber light starts to flash on and off, this show that the bath is at the
required temperature (check on thermometer). Measure the time in seconds for the
complete temperature on-off cycle i.e. time from amber light going off at the end of
one long ON period to the same point after the next long ON period. Repeat this
measurement several times to check.
(5) Set the Re-set switch (S3 on PA0333) to OFF (Proportional control ON) and set the
gain switch S1 to 0 (minimum gain), then increase the Gain setting to the maximum
value possible without producing hunting. Correct operation is when the amber lamp
flashes on and off steadily about once per second and a half. Hunting is when the
lamp periodically increases and decreases its percentage ON time. Hunting may also
be observed on the indicator or recorder as a regular cyclic fluctuation in the test
sample viscosity.
(6) Set the Re-set switch following Table 2 to the nearest value above the number of
seconds measured as the cycle period in step 4. This completes the adjustment. The
new dial settings should be recorded in the instrument log or Test Certificate.
8.3 CALIBRATON CHECK

The Monitor, as supplied, was calibrated using a standard reference liquid and it should not
normally require adjustment. If it is necessary to check the readings obtained, proceed as
follows:
(1) Confirm that the temperature of the oil bath is accurately set to the specified value
(normally 37.8oC + 0.01oC).
(2) Ensure that the plant is running normally and producing a sample having a steady
vapour pressure.

Issue 6, 18/02/2015
NOTE: If a sample is not available from the plant to the Monitor, the input must be derived
from a Test System incorporating a pump giving adequate pressure and flow (7 bar, 3 1/m),
and a storage container holding a sample. Ensure that there is no change in composition of
the re-cycled sample arising from evaporation of the light ends. This is particularly
relevant in hot climates and with volatile samples. A single component sample such as
Hexane would avoid light end losses.
(3) Check that the transmitter calibration is correct. (Check the reading on the pressure
gauge, if fitted, and adjust to give the same reading as the transmitter.)
(4) Record the reading on the Monitor and immediately take a sample of the oil at the
input to the Monitor. This sample should be taken in a container designed to minimise
losses through vapourisation. Carry out several laboratory tests to ensure that results
are within the limits of the ASTM D-323-58 test.
(5) If the Monitor output is the same as the laboratory test and falls within the ASTM limits,
no further action is necessary.
(6) If it is necessary to adjust the instrument, a change of the reading may be obtained by
altering the spacing between the nozzle and the aspirator in the measuring chamber.
(Items 11 and 12 of Fig 6.) This may be done, by inserting shims on the shoulder
between the two piece parts. To do this it is necessary to switch off the sample input
and output lines using the appropriate valves in the sample system.
WARNING
WHEN OPERATING ON HIGH VAPOUR PRESSURE SAMPLES THE ANALYSER
SHOULD BE VENTED TO ATMOSPHERE BEFORE REMOVING THE NOZZLE
ASSEMBLY.
(7) Remove the filter to gain access to the nozzle assembly. After ensuring that the oil
pressure in the instrument is zero, remove the nozzle assembly by unscrewing the
handle and carefully removing the assembly from its holder.
(8) Unscrew item 11 and fit a shim washer of 0.040in on the shoulder of the part (refer to
Fig. 6).
(9) Re-assemble the assembly and check that the O-rings are undamaged. Smear them
with silicone grease to prevent damage during re-insertion. Refit the assembly in the
Monitor.
(10) Open the isolation valves and repeat the above checks, adjusting the shim thickness to
give a result that falls within the limits of the ASTM Test.
