ASTM D96 Standard Test Method for Water and Sediment in Crude Oil by Centrifuge Method

EUROLAB laboratory provides testing and compliance services within the scope of ASTM D96 standard. This test method includes the centrifugation method to determine sediment and water in crude oil during field surveillance transfers.

This test method may not always give the most accurate results, but is considered the most practical for field detection of sediment and water. When a higher degree of accuracy is required, the laboratory procedure described in test methods D4006, D4377 or D473 should be used.

Water by distillation and sludge by extraction are considered the most accurate methods of determining sludge and water in crude oils. As such, these procedures should be used to resolve differences that arise from variations of this procedure or in results between this procedure and other procedures, or in the event of a conflict between the parties.

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

This standard does not purport to address all, if any, safety concerns associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety, health and environmental practices and to determine the applicability of regulatory restrictions prior to use.
