`,,```,,,,````-`-`,,`,,`,`,,` -The third edition of API Manual of Petroleum Measurement Standards (MPMS) Chapter 19.4 was published following
a revision that was carried out concurrently with revisions to Chapter 19.1, published as the fourth edition, andChapter 19.2, published as the third edition Primary changes are:
1) Consolidation of common material in Chapter 19.4 Material that had previously been included in both Chapters
19.1 and 19.2 has been moved to Chapter 19.4 Chapter 19.4, which was previously Recommended Practice for
Speciation of Evaporative Losses, now has the title Evaporative Loss Reference Information and Speciation Methodology This Chapter had already contained reference information on the properties of chemicals and
typical petroleum liquids, and this information has now been removed from Chapters 19.1 and 19.2 In addition,meteorological data have been moved from Chapters 19.1 and 19.2 to Chapter 19.4 In the revised documents:a) Meteorological data are found in Chapter 19.4,
b) Calculation of storage tank temperatures is found in Chapters 19.1 and 19.2 (in that fixed-roof tanks involvecalculation of the vapor space temperature in order to determine vapor density, whereas this step is notinvolved in estimating emissions from floating-roof tanks), and
c) Calculation of true vapor pressure is found in Chapter 19.4 (in that this is now calculated in the same mannerfor both fixed- and floating-roof tanks)
2) Reconciliation of nomenclature Chapters 19.1 and 19.2 previously had different nomenclature for the samevariables These revisions adopt a common set of symbols for both chapters
3) Reorganization of the formats In addition to common material having been removed from Chapters 19.1 and 19.2,the remaining text has been edited to remove unnecessarily verbose or repetitive language The summary tableswere deemed redundant, and have been deleted
4) Appendices Appendices have been redesignated as annexes
5) SI units An annex has been added to each chapter to address SI units
Chapter 19.4, third edition
In addition to common reference material being moved to Chapter 19.4, the following changes have been made:1) Solar absorptance factors The former designations of Good and Poor have been replaced with the designationsNew and Aged, and a new category designated Average has been introduced
2) Alternative methodology for calculating storage tank temperatures An API study of storage tank temperaturesconcluded that a more sophisticated model for estimating storage tank temperatures has relatively little impact onestimated emissions, and thus the methodology now presented in Chapters 19.1 and 19.2 is the same aspreviously appeared in Chapter 19.1 (and in EPA AP-42) However, a more sophisticated model has been added
as Annex I in Chapter 19.4
3) No 6 Fuel Oil The default properties for No 6 Fuel Oil have been revised, resulting in a significant increase in theestimated true vapor pressure The former default properties are now presented as being suitable for vacuumresidual oil A new default speciation profile has also been added for No 6 Fuel Oil The study on which thesechanges are based has been added as Annex G
4) Maxwell-Bonnell correlations The annex presenting the Maxwell-Bonnell correlations has been edited with theconclusion that the separate correlations for predicting the normal boiling point from distillation data are notreliable

Trang 11MPMS Ch 19.1 for fixed-roof tanks, API MPMS Ch 19.2 for floating-roof tanks, API MPMS Ch 19.5 for
marine vessels, and other methods used for total hydrocarbon emission estimates This process is referred
to as speciation
Speciation of emissions from hydrocarbon mixtures accounts for the higher evaporation rate of the more volatile components, resulting in a different composition of the mixture in the vapor phase than in the liquid phase The methodology presented in this standard assumes that there is sufficient liquid present such that the chemical composition at the liquid surface may be considered to not change as a result of the evaporative loss
This standard also contains reference information used for estimating emissions in accordance with API
MPMS Ch 19.1, API MPMS Ch.19.2, and API MPMS Ch.19.5
The methodology in this standard applies to:
a) liquids with vapor pressure that has reached equilibrium with ambient conditions at a true vapor pressure less than the ambient atmospheric pressure (i.e not boiling);
b) liquids for which the vapor pressure is known or for which sufficient data are available to determine the vapor pressure;
c) liquid mixtures where Raoult’s Law can be used to describe the vapor phase equilibria
This methodology does not apply to:
a) emissions that result from leaks from piping components (e.g valves, flanges, pumps, connectors etc.); b) liquid mixtures where Raoult’s Law cannot be used to describe the vapor phase equilibria (e.g mixtures
in which hydrocarbons are dissolved in water, or mixtures of hydrocarbons with alcohols)

forth in 4.3
For selected petroleum liquids, such as gasoline, jet fuels, and No 2 fuel oil (diesel), the stock true vapor
For other volatile refined petroleum stocks and crude oils, values for the vapor pressure constants A and B may
be calculated as described below, and then the stock true vapor pressure calculated from Equation 5 using the
constants A and B thus determined
a) For refined petroleum stocks: The vapor pressure constants A and B are calculated from Equation (1) and
Equation (2), based on the stock RVP (1 psi to 20 psi) and the slope of the ASTM D86 distillation curve, S,
at 10 volume percent evaporated (°F/vol %) In the absence of ASTM D86 distillation data on refined
petroleum stocks, approximate values of the distillation slope S from Table 2 may be used
b) For crude oils: The vapor pressure constants A and B are calculated from Equation (3) and Equation (4)

multicomponent petroleum liquids, the condensed vapor density, W VC , is less than the stock liquid density, W L If the condensed vapor density is unknown, it may be estimated from the following equationc (which was developed primarily for gasoline stocks):
W VC = 0.08 M V
