ASTM D6304 Determination of Water in Petroleum Products, Lubricating Oils and Additives by Coulometric Karl Fischer Titration

EUROLAB, with its state-of-the-art accredited laboratories and expert team, provides precise and fast testing services within the scope of ASTM D6304 testing. This test method involves the direct determination of water in the range of 10 mg/kg to 25.000 mg/kg entrained water in petroleum products and hydrocarbons using automated instrumentation.

This test method also includes indirect analysis of water that is thermally removed from samples and swept into the Karl Fischer titration cell with dry inert gas. Mercaptan, sulfur, sulfur and other compounds are known to interfere with this test method.

This test method is designed with commercially available coulometric Karl Fischer reagents and for the determination of water in additives, lubricating oils, base oils, automatic transmission fluids, hydrocarbon solvents and other petroleum products. With the correct selection of sample size, this test method can be used to determine water from mg/kg to percent level concentrations.

Values ​​stated in SI units should be accepted as standard. No other units of measurement are included in this standard.
