5、rds:2D4057 Practice for Manual Sampling of Petroleum andPetroleum Products3.Summary of Test Method3.1 The material to be analyzed is titrated with standardKarl Fischer reagent to an electrometric end point.4.Significance and Use4.1 Knowledge of the water content of petroleum productscan be useful to
6、 predict quality and performance characteristicsof the product.5.Interferences5.1 Free alkali,oxidizing and reducing agents,mercaptans,certain basic nitrogenous substances,or other materials thatreact with iodine,interfere.One part per million of sulfur asmercaptan causes an error in the titration,e
7、quivalent toapproximately 0.2 mg/kg of water.6.Apparatus6.1 Assemble the apparatus as described in the Annex A1.(See Note 1.)NOTE1Any apparatus that will give equal or better precision isacceptable.7.Reagents and Materials7.1 Purity of ReagentsReagent grade chemicals shall beused in all tests.Unless
8、 otherwise indicated,it is intended thatall reagents shall conform to the specifications of the Commit-tee on Analytical Reagents of the American Chemical Society,where such specifications are available.3Other grades can beused,provided it is first ascertained that the reagent is ofsufficiently high
9、 purity to permit its use without lessening theaccuracy of the determination.7.2 Purity of WaterUnless otherwise indicated,referencesto water shall be understood to mean distilled water or water ofequal purity.The solvents used must have low-water content,for example,less than 500 mg/kg mass.7.3 Kar
