METHOD FOR MEASURING WATER CONCENTRATION IN OIL PRODUCT

摘要

FIELD: oil and gas industry. ^ SUBSTANCE: method involves three main stages: sampling of fixed volume of oil product sample the temperature of which is measured; then, fixed chemical reagent volume is added to sample (sulphuric acid) and sample temperature change is measured; level of product water content is determined. First, relationship between oil product water content level and fixed oil product volume temperature increment level is determined at its interaction with fixed chemical reagent volume and calibration charts are built for further determination of oil product water content. Sulphuric acid is used as chemical reagent. ^ EFFECT: possibility of high-accuracy determination of oil product water content due to recording the parameters determining the oil product water content level; simplifying the set of devices required for implementation of the method. ^ 2 cl, 2 dwg
