Abstract:
ASTM sends crude oil proficiency testing program (CO PTP) samples out three times a year to be tested at laboratories around the world for many properties, including Ni and V by ASTM D5708 and D8252. D5708 method B, acid decomposition and ICP-OES, is also specified in the NYMEX light sweet crude oil futures contract specifications. This method is complicated and time consuming, and it is not ideal for pipeline terminal laboratories. ASTM D8252, Ni and V by XRF, offers a faster, easier to use solution and is gaining traction in the testing community. Join Leslie McHenry, XOS Applications Supervisor, as she shares the latest CO PTP data and discusses the correlation, precision, and scopes of these two methods for Ni and V.
