ASTM D4377-00e1
Historical Standard: ASTM D4377-00e1 Standard Test Method for Water in Crude Oils by Potentiometric Karl Fischer Titration
SUPERSEDED (see Active link, below)
ASTM D4377
1. Scope
1.1 This test method covers the determination of water in the range from 0.02 to 2 % in crude oils. Mercaptan and sulfide (S or H 2 S) sulfur are known to interfere with this test method (see Section 5).
1.2 This test method is intended for use with standard Karl Fischer reagent or pyridine-free Karl Fischer reagents.
1.3 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as the standard.
1.4 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use. Specific precautionary statements are given in Section 7.
2. Referenced Documents (purchase separately) The documents listed below are referenced within the subject standard but are not provided as part of the standard.
