Test Method
Salt content is determined by measuring the conductivity of a solution
of crude oil in a polar solvent when subjected to an alternating electrical
current and is obtained by comparison of the resulting conductance to a
calibration curve of known salt mixtures.
Electrometric Salt Determinator
. Conforms to ASTM D3230 and IP 265 test specifications
. GOST certified
. Measures salt content, conductance, and temperature of crude oil
samples, and pH measurements of aqueous samples
. Measures Salts Concentration in the range of 0 to 150 PTB (lb/1000 bbl)
. Portable for field or laboratory testing with up to 8 hours of continuous
operation from internal Ni-Cd rechargeable batteries
. 18-bit analog-to-digital converter for high precision
. 24Kb RAM dedicated for data storage (about 500 test results)
. Data can be uploaded in a comma delimited format to a PC with
easy to use Windows® 2000/XP/Vista - based software via an RS232
serial data port
Determines the salt content, conductance, and temperature of crude oil
samples according to ASTM D3230 and IP 265 specifications. Utilizes the
latest low-voltage, synchronous detection technology for conductivity
measurements and a high-accuracy thermistor array to measure sample
temperature. Automatically calculates salt concentration directly from
acquired temperature and conductivity values. Measures conductivity over
four ranges 0-2, 2-20, 20-200, and 200-1500 mS with automatic range
selection. Self-calibration feature allows operator to adjust for any drift
without re-entering standard temperature curves. Complete data storage of
test results which is limited only by the hard drive capacity of external PC.
Easy-to-read alpha-numeric display shows any four of the following
parameters at one time as chosen by the operator: salts, conductance,
conductance @ 25°C, pH, pH millivolts, temperature (°C or °F), internal and
external battery voltages, date, time, logging ID, and ID increment value.
