We have a 24-hour, modern and well-equipped laboratory accredited by the Polish Centre for Accreditation.
We test every batch of gas,
from every wagon
and at all stages of transhipment.
Taking samples of liquefied hydrocarbon gases (LPG, propane, butane, propane-butane) according to the current standard PN-EN ISO 4257 and ZN/MG/CN-18:2007
One of the basic activities involved in assessing the properties of hydrocarbon gases (LPG, propane, butane, propane-butane) is proper (compliant with the requirements) sampling for testing by a professional laboratory.
Carrying out quality tests on samples of liquefied hydrocarbon gases based on standardised methods in the field:
◦ content of C1-C5 hydrocarbons (gas chromatographic method) according to PN-EN 27941;
◦ dien content (gas chromatographic method) according to PN-EN 27941;
◦ total sulphur content (ultraviolet fluorescence method) according to ASTM D 6667;
◦ motor octane number (from calculation) according to PN-EN 589;
◦ vapour pressure at temperatures (-10), (-5), 0, 10, 20, 37.8, 40, 50, 70 °C (from calculation) according to PN-EN ISO 8973 and PN-EN 589;
◦ temperature at which the relative vapour pressure is at least 150 kPa (from calculation) in accordance with PN-EN ISO 8973 and PN-EN 589;
◦ corrosive action on copper (visual method) acc. to PN-EN ISO 6251;
◦ presence of hydrogen sulphide (visual method) acc. to PN-EN ISO 8819
◦ presence of water (visual method) acc. to PN-EN 15469, PN-C-96008;
◦ odour test (organoleptic method) according to PN-EN 589;
◦ density at 15°C (from calculation) according to PN-EN ISO 8973;
◦ calorific value (from calculation) according to PN-C-96008;
◦ absolute vapour pressure at temperatures (-15), 40, 70°C (from calculation) according to PN-C-96008;
◦ density at 15.6°C (from calculation) according to PN-C-96008;
◦ mineral oil content (by weight) according to PN-C-96008;
◦ determination of dissolved residues (gas chromatographic method) according to PN-EN 15470;
◦ issue of documentation with test results.
