4. Samples of oil poured into the hydrometer cylinder without creating froth and bubbles
5. Insert the thermometer into the hydrometer cylinder
6. Hydrometer should be perpendicular position and protected from the wind
7. Dip hydrometer slowly and let it in a state of calm and press down approximately 2 scale
8. If already in a state of calm, hydrometer scale reading then read the temperature of the samples as well
9. How reading for invisibility oil in the surface of the flat line oil
10. How readings for oil opaque in peak numbers miniscus that stick to the hydrometer and this figure is corrected with miniscus correction factor (Tabel 1 ASTM D.1298)
Way Hydrometer readings
Reading the scale on the viscous product, starting from the top and the concave surface of the liquid will be read from where the scale on the fluid rises. When this conditions occurs the miniscus scale reading can be corrected by the correction factor miniscus +/- 0.0001 > correction on the table miniscus
The sampling method
General definitions
Examination or test samples is an analysis of the oil sample using a certain amount of oil procedures or equipment or a specific time in order to obtain a picture or character or nature of the oils come from
Purpose :
1. An early stage of the transaction
2. To determine the conditions of properties
3. As a guarantee or warranty
4. Representatives of some or all of the oil
5. Related to the economic value
The basic principle
Test the quality by sampling is either done manually or automatically. A representative sample of the results are considered representative of the population or the entire oil sampled. There are various methods of sampling and selection methods used adapted to the use of sampling itself
Sampling methods in the shore tank and vessel tank

Composite sample :
Samples obtained by mixing two or more spot samples are silent
Drain sample :
Samples taken from a tank in a proportional comparison. The term can also be used for a number of oil samples taken from the flow in the pipe
Single tank composite sample :
1. Samples obtained by mixing upper, middle or lower sample
2. For a tank like container equipped uniform vertical cylindrical tank, the mixture consisted of equal volumes of the three parts of the sample above
3. For horizontal cylindrical tank, the mixture consisting of 3 samples
Multiple tank composite sample :

Surface sample :
Spot samples taken from the surface of the liquid in the tank
Outlet sample :
Spot samples taken from the bottom of the tank at the tank outlet to the type of fixed or floating tank
Sample collection procedures :
1. Sample bottles down slowly until it touches the bottom of the tank, the height of the sample bottle hole 33 cm from the bottom of the tank
2. Gently pull and place it at the height of the tank outlet hole (bottom/lower)
3. Snapped the rope so that the sample bottle lid open and let the moment (1 to 2 minutes) until the bottle is filled
4. Drag it to the surface and pour the sample into a place (sample can) that has been provided
5. Other samples were taken completely clean and slowly lower into the tank until mid-height (middle)

Procedures for measuring the liquid in the ship tank (ASTM D.1085 or API 2545)
1. Ordinance basically tank level measurements in the same boat with the procedure of measurement in tanks ashore
2. Measurement method outage
3. Some of which need to be considered
a. The ship's position
* Even keel (sama rata) - Equally
* Trim or different fore draft and after draft
* The list of the ship (angle of the heel ), left (port) or right (starboard)
b. Trim correction factors and calibration tables heel on the ship
Tankers Gauge
On a big tanker compartment is equipped with an automatic means of measuring devices installed permanently ( Master level). Data measurement results are automatically processed by a computer.
In the small tanker which was not equipped with a master level, level measurement using a UTI ( Ullage Temperature and oil/water Interface) measurement devices for closed and restricted applications.
Ships tank sampling
Tools used :
a. Weighted breaker/bottle
b. Sample container
There are two ways of sampling on board :
1. Sampling was conducted on the entire compartment even in the same compartement type oil
2. When a tanker load of oil equivalent, sampling done in the compartment as in the following data
Number of compartments
a. 1 s.d. 2
b. 3 s.d. 6
c. 7 s.d. 12
d. Lebih dari 12 - More than 12
Samples taken
a. In each compartment
b. 3 compartments similar to oil
c. 5 compartments similar to oil
d. 7 compartments similar to oil
Weakness of the latter
Can impact the lact of accurate in calculating the volume of oil in tankers
Measurement methods crossing density and temperature measured only in the compartment 1P, 2S, 3P dan 4S. For the density and temperature 1S=1P 2P=2S 3S=3P dan 4P=4S. Sampling of cross impact on the calculation of the volume is not accurate because of the temperature and density the compartment that is not measured is not necessarily the same as the measured compartment. Oil temperature in the compartment is affected by ambient temperature
Determination of sampling methods
1. Decision making method of sampling is strongly influenced by the condition of the oil to be in the sampling
2. Recommended oils made specifically for mutual agreement between sender and receiver
3. Sampling locations
4. Methods (automatic and manual)
Sampling on the tank
System manually following the oil height top/middle/bottom (static/transfer)
Sampling on tankers and barges
1. Multiple tank composite sample
2. Take a sample from each individual compartment subsequent blending
Sampling in the distribution system through a pipe
1. Automatic sampler (recommended)
2. Continuous sample
Dynamic measurement system
The measurement system is implemented in a state at the time of the oil flow and thus does not require settling time
Metering system
Metering system is one type of measure that can be used as a transfer point determination in carrying out the handover of a product (transfer of rights).
Magnitude numbers shown in metering system is used as a guide indetermining the amount or volume of products handed.
In order for the appointment of metering system is accurate or not a large deviation occurs before the first operation should be tested by a master meter or meter prover.
Flowmeter
1. Positive displacement flowmeter
2. Turbine flowmeter
3. Cariolis
4. Ultrasonic
Meter prover : Function to calibrate the flowmeter in order to yield more accurate measurements so that deviations that occur in the process of measurement become smaller
Flowmeter
Migas Approval Oil Gas
PD Meter Yes No
Turbine meter Yes Yes
Orifice (Dual chamber) No Yes
Ultrasonic meter No Yes
Difference metering system with Manual tank gauging
Metering system no influence accuracy of human resources, tanks, pipes and gauges.
Manual tank gauging very influential.
Metering system have accuracy up 99.975 %
Manual tank gauging must be in tolerance for 0.5 %
Metering system truth can be proved by proving system
Manual tank gauging difficult to be proved
Metering system if the question can be proven
Manual tank gauging difficult to be proven
Metering system do quality insurance THP prover and instrument accessories
Manual tank gauging difficult to find a fit
Metering system repeatability value < 0.05 %
Manual tank gauging repeatability value until 0.5 %
Metering system repeatability < 0.02 % inearity operation 0.15 %
Manual tank gauging no calculations
Operation metering system
Operation of the metering system basically is running a command or provisions contained in the SOP metering system itself.
Level of success in operating the metering system is influenced.
SOP are clear and correct.
Skilled human resources.
