3 Terms and definitions

For the purposes of this specification, the following terms and definitions apply.

3.1
sample
a small amount of required test sample taken from the fluid to determine its components or properties

3.2
sample probe
component inserted into a process pipeline or equipment to take a small amount of sample

3.3
sample take-off point
position of taking sample on process pipeline or equipment

3.4
sample return point
position of receiving returned sample on the process pipeline or equipment

3.5
sample pre-conditioner
sample conditioning such as filtration, decompression, pressurization, gasification and separation, after which, the sample shall meet the requirements of transport, conditioning and on-line analysis

3.6
sample conditioner
sample conditioning such as filtration, pressure stabilization, washing and drying, after which, the sample shall meet the requirements of on-line analysis

3.7
sample line
connecting pipeline for transporting samples from sample take-off point to sample pre-conditioner and sample conditioner

3.8
fast loop
pipeline that speed up the flow of sample and shorten the lag time of transport

3.9
sample system
sample system including sample probe, sample pre-conditioner, sample line and sample conditioner

3.10
multi-stream switch system
system for realizing multi-stream sample switch

3.11
carrier gas
gases carrying samples, such as hydrogen, nitrogen and helium

3.12
calibration gas
gas used for calibration or testing

3.13
lag time of transport
time for transporting the sample from the sample take-off point to the inlet of the on-line analyzer

3.14
response time
time from the sample entering the analyzer to the analysis showing the content of the measured component

3.15
lag time of analysis
sum of lag time of transport and response time of sample

3.16
on-line analyzer
instrument directly installed during production process, used for continuous or intermittent analysis of material components or physical parameters

3.17
linear range
linear interval spanned by the calibration curve, representing the applicability to the content or concentration of the measured component

3.18
analyzer house
prefabricated fully-enclosed facility arranged on site, which can accommodate multiple on-line analyzers

3.19
analyzer cabinet
totally enclosed cabinet installed on site, which can accommodate one or more on-line analyzer(s)

3.20
analyzer shelter
non-enclosed protective facility, consisting of ceiling and three side walls, installed on site, which is well ventilated and can accommodate one or more on-line analyzer(s)

3.21
on-line analyzer management system
system that integrates multiple on-line analyzers on the same network for centralized monitoring, management and maintenance

3.22
on-line analyzer system
system consisting of sample system, on-line analyzer and analyzer cabinet or analysis house. For large petrochemical projects, on-line analyzer management system is also included
