Tech/Engineering - Engineering (general) / Liquefied Petroleum test
English term or phrase: to vent the dead volume
The cylinder may be partially filled and then emptied prior to collection of the sample as an alternative to venting hydrocarbon to flush lines.
Where immediate venting is not possible; for example, inside hazardous locations or with toxic materials (especially H2S), provisions shall be made to prevent a temperature increase prior to venting in a safe location

The flow should be fast enough to flush any debris from the line, but short enough duration to minimize venting.
This purging arrangement may take the form of a “T” connection and purging valve, or an operating procedure that allows slight loosening of the connection to vent the dead volume at the sample connection (if allowed by the local jurisdiction).
