A Comparison of Liquid Hydrocarbon Calibration Standards in Piston Cylinders and Standard Cylinders with Eductor Tubes


Robert Benesch, Tracey Jacksier

Analytical Chemistry, 73 (2), 379, 2001

Natural gas liquid standards consist of various components primarily in the C1 - C6 range; they are available in three types of cylinder packages: piston cylinders and two types of other cylinders with eductor tubes. The three cylinder packages have different operation conditions and thus a sample may behave differently in each of the packages. The piston cylinder maintains the components in a single liquid phase at a constant pressure, while the standard cylinders maintain the components as a two phase mixture. Typically, the components may distribute between the two phases in different concentrations depending on the various thermodynamic variables, such as temperature, pressure and volume
