CRUDE PACKAGE for Vapor Pressure Tester The Official Standard Method for Vapor Pressure of Crude Oil
CRUDE OIL PACKAGE:
MINIVAP VPXpert or MINIVAP VPSH (+ Rocking Plate)
Floating Piston Cylinder
GRABNER INSTRUMENTS' complete package for the vapor pressure measurement of crude oil according to ASTM D 6377 (Expansion Method).
MINIVAP VPXpert and VPSH are extremely versatile instruments for the automatic determination of the vapor pressure behavior of gasoline and gasoline oxygenated blends, live and dead crude oil, solvents and other chemical compounds. MINIVAP is the world wide standard instrument that is used by all major refineries, oil and pipeline companies, independent laboratories and car manufacturers.
The US-EPA declared MINIVAP as the official reference instrument for the USA.
MINIVAP VPS/H are stand-alone units that do not require any accessories. The unique piston based design for automatic sample introduction and volume expansion of the measuring cell makes an expensive and bulky vacuum pump unnecessary. The patented measuring principle in combination with the latest standards ASTM D6377 (for Crude Oil) and ASTM D6378 (for Gasoline) avoids tedious sample chilling and air saturation.
This new technology significantly increases refinery profits: it reduces expensive labor time, eliminates operator bias and has a considerably improved test precision that offers the advantage to blend closer to the limits and hence avoid product give-away.
MINIVAP VPS is mostly used for QC purposes while VPXpert and VPSH offer even more features for crude oil and R&D applications, like volatility studies at elevated temperatures and at very low vapor/liquid ratios.
