Property constraints are constraints on properties where the constraints are defined by limits for the property values of cuts. To add a property constraint to the filter, select the Property Constraint Filter radio button option.
Each property constraint comprises six parts, which specify the property itself, the cut, and the range property values may take for the cut, as illustrated in the following table. In the table, the entries in the Example column collectively specify the constraint 'Kerosene sulphur (150-250°C) must be less than 100ppm.'
|
Field |
Description |
Example |
|---|---|---|
|
Property Name |
The property chosen using a property control. |
Sulphur(%w) |
|
Cut start point |
The start boiling point of the cut. |
150°C |
|
Cut end point |
The end boiling point of the cut. |
250°C |
|
Property minimum value |
The lower limit of the cut value. Setting the cut value to No minimum corresponds to no lower limit. |
No minimum |
|
Property maximum value |
The upper limit of the cut value. Setting the cut value to No maximum corresponds to no upper limit. |
100 |
|
Property Unit |
The unit of measurement for the property value. |
ppm |
To configure a property constraint, edit each of the fields When Property, With Cut and Has Value between in place. The illustration below shows how the example constraint of the preceding table would appear in the Filter Conditions pane of the filter dialog, together with an additional constraint specifying that API for the whole crude must lie between 30 and 35°.
