ASTM D1066 Standard Practice for Sampling Steam

ASTM D1066 provides the procedure for sampling saturated and superheated steam, which is essential in many industrial operations, including power generation. It describes the tools, steps, and factors to consider while obtaining representative samples. To help determine the purity of the steam, the testing is used to evaluate the contaminants of steam, such as dissolved compounds, solids, and water droplets. By keeping steam quality within allowable bounds, information gleaned from ASTM D1066, such as concentrations of sodium, silica, iron, copper, and cation conductivity, avoids damage to downstream machinery like turbines and heat exchangers. Precise quantification of impurities is essential for preserving the integrity of equipment, reducing erosion, deposit accumulation, and corrosion, and guaranteeing the smooth functioning of industrial operations.

    Introduction to ASTM D1066

    For businesses that largely depend on steam-based operations, such as power generation and chemical manufacture, ASTM D1066 is a vital reference for accurate saturated and superheated steam sampling. The thorough methods and equipment requirements outlined in this standard are meant to guarantee the representative extraction of steam samples. It aims to preserve the data’s integrity by carefully considering elements like steam velocity, condensation, and cooling. The gathered data, which includes anything from chemical concentrations in solution to solid particulates, is crucial for evaluating steam quality and spotting possible risks to industrial machinery. Fundamentally, ASTM D1066 is essential to maintaining safety standards, guaranteeing product quality, and protecting operational effectiveness in steam-dependent industries. MaTestLab is one of the best testing service providers, with the best network of testing laboratories in the USA to carry out ASTM D1066 tests for our clients. 

    ASTM D1066 Test Methods

    Apparatus SetupSampling nozzle and sampling cooler.
    Measurements MethodsAn appropriate sampling nozzle is selected and installed and the extraction of representative steam samples is done. The sample is passed through a sample cooler. Analysis of samples is done to determine impurity levels.

    ASTM D1066 Specimens

    Specimen DetailsSaturated and superheated steam samples 
    Specimen PreparationSampling is done directly from the steam source
    Specimen DimensionsThis is not applicable as the sample is steam rather than a physical specimen

    ASTM D1066 Test Results

    The ASTM D1066 standard measures the concentrations of contaminants in steam, including solid particles, water droplets, and dissolved chemicals. It examines the steam’s quality to ensure the necessary purity requirements are fulfilled and to prevent harm to or degradation of downstream machinery, such as heat exchangers and turbines. 

    Tests Related to ASTM D1066

    ASTM D1193 and ASTM D1125 are related to ASTM D1066. The first one outlines the characteristics of water that satisfy ASTM standards, while the second one helps in determining the electrical conductivity and resistivity of water, respectively.
