This ensures that the measurement is performed at a vapor/liquid ratio of 4:1. Vaporization from the sample causes an immediate rise in pressure within the chamber. An ultrasonic agitator within the measurement chamber also agitates the sample, further enhancing vaporization and speeding the equilibration process. Chamber pressure is continuously measured with a sensitive pressure transducer. Chamber pressure, when the liquid and vapor phases reach equilibrium, is the RVP value.

    Measure vapor pressure quickly,conveniently and completely on-line!The PSPI Reid Vapor Pressure Monitor is an on-stream process monitor for measuring the RVP

    of blended fuels, distillates and other multiple component hydrocarbon fuels. The 44800

    directly measures vapor pressure—no RVP correction necessary! With its unique engineering

    and design, the need for auxiliary air conditioning, cooling, atmospheric drains and sample

    recovery systems has been eliminated. And the average cycle time is still less than six minutes!

    Operation of the monitor is completely customizable with user-programmable measurement

    cycles, units and alarms. The 44800 Reid Vapor Pressure Monitor is completely microprocessor

    controlled with self-diagnostic capabilities, making it economical and simple to operate and

    maintain.

    The PSPI Reid Vapor Pressure Monitor is an on-line instrument designed to automatically determine the hydrocarbon fuels' RVP valuein correlation to ASTM D 4953 and D 323 test procedures. Pre-heated/cooled sample (37.8°C; 100°F ) enters the lower (sampleacquisition) chamber of the test cell. The sample is introduced at an angle to produce a swirling motion which, combined with a 2-minute flush period, clears the previous sample and vapors from the cell and ensures that the next sample is representative of currentconditions.
