1、Designation:D647099(Reapproved 2020)Standard Test Method forSalt in Crude Oils(Potentiometric Method)1This standard is issued under the fixed designation D6470;the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or,in the case of revision,the year of last revision
2、.A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval.Asuperscript epsilon()indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1.Scope1.1 This test method covers the determination of salt incrude oils.For the purpose of this test method,salt is expressedas%(m/m)NaCl(sodium
3、chloride)and covers the range from0.0005%to 0.15%(m/m).1.2 The limit of detection is 0.0002%(m/m)for salt(asNaCl).1.3 The test method is applicable to nearly all of the heavierpetroleum products,such as crude oils,residues,and fuel oils.It may also be applied to used turbine oil and marine diesel fu
4、elto estimate seawater contamination.Water extractable salts,originating from additives present in oils,are codetermined.1.4 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as thestandard.1.5 This standard does not purport to address all of thesafety concerns,if any,associated with its use.It is th

9、est Method3.1 After homogenizing the crude oil with a mixer,aweighed aliquot is dissolved in xylene at 65 C and extractedwith specified volumes of alcohol,acetone,and water in anelectrically heated extraction apparatus.A portion of theaqueous extract is analyzed for total halides by potentiometricti
10、tration.4.Significance and Use4.1 A knowledge of water extractable inorganic halides inoil is important when deciding whether or not the oils needdesalting.Excessive halide,especially in crude oil,frequentlyresults in higher corrosion rates in refining units.5.Apparatus5.1 Extraction Apparatus,made
11、of borosilicate glass,con-forming to the dimensions given in Fig.1,and consisting of thefollowing component parts:5.1.1 Boiling Flask,500 mL capacity.5.1.2 Hopkins Reflux Condenser,having a vapor outletconnected by a rubber tube to an outside vent or to a suctionhood.5.1.3 Thistle Tube,approximately
12、 70 mL capacity,with aline to indicate approximately the 50 mL level.5.1.4 Heating Tube,containing a chimney for increasingconvection in the liquid.5.1.5 Heating Coil,250 W,consisting of a suitable gage ofNichrome wire.5.1.6 Rheostat,of suitable resistance and capacity,forregulating the heater.1This
