Description / Abstract:
This International Standard specifies a manual sampling method
for refrigerated liquefied DME at terminals in both loading and
unloading ports. It also specifies detailed precautions to ensure
safety during sampling work. However, safety measures, proposed for
equipment being used for sampling, such as sampling lines and
sample cylinders, are limited to general terms because they are
governed mostly by national regulatory requirements.
This International Standard does not include recommendations for
the location of a sampling point in a line or vessel.
NOTE It is the responsibility of the user to ensure that the
sampling point is located so as to obtain a representative sample.
However, to prevent vaporization of DME in the line before
sampling, it is preferable to locate the sampling point at a place
where the pressure and temperature of the DME in the line are kept
constant to ensure that a single-phase sample is obtained.
This International Standard is also applicable to the following
cases, with necessary modifications:
— sampling of DME on board liquefied gas tankers where
appropriate sampling apparatus is provided;
— sampling of other refrigerated, non-petroleum-based, liquefied
gaseous fuels whose chemical and physical properties are similar to
those of DME.
The detailed chemical and physical properties of DME differ from
those of LPG, which suggests that DME requires precautions
different from those of LPG. However, their basic properties are
similar to each other and so general reference is made in this
International Standard to precautions for LPG that have been
applied in many countries. Reference can also be made to the
appropriate individual items in this International Standard for
precautions concerning the quality.
