Abstract: This paper will discuss the testing and proving of automatic sampling systems in crude oil service in accordance with the American Petroleum. Institute (API) Manual of Petroleum Measurement Standards (MPMS), Chapter 8, Section 2, Appendix A and the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) D-4177. An automatic sampling system can be tested to verify the equipment and installation produce a representative sample of shipments or batches. This test is called a sampling system proving test. The test(s)validate all of the components of the sampling system, as installed, including the analysis method(s). Once the sampling system, has been tested, and the test results meet the acceptance criteria in the API 8.2, the user of that system can have a certain level of confidence that the sampling system will produce representative samples.
