The specific products considered during the development of this test method are listed in Table 3. This International Standard may be used to determine water content in excess of 25 %. However, no precision data has been determined at levels greater than 25 %. Volatile water-soluble material, if present, is measured as water. NOTE 1 A knowledge of the water content of petroleum products is important in the refining, purchase, sale and transfer of products. NOTE 2 The amount of water determined by this method can be used to correct the volume involved in the custody transfer of product. 2 Normative references The following normative documents contain provisions which, through reference in this text, constitute provisions of this International Standard. For dated references, subsequent amendments to, or revisions of, any of these publications do not apply. However, parties to agreements based on this International Standard are encouraged to investigate the possibility of applying the most recent editions of the normative documents indicated below. For undated references, the latest edition of the normative document referred to applies. Members of ISO and IEC maintain registers of currently valid International Standards. ISO 31 70:1 988, Petroleum liquids — Manual sampling . ISO 31 71 :1 988, Petroleum liquids — Automatic pipeline sampling. ISO 3405:— 1 ) , Petroleum products — Determination of distillation characteristics at atmospheric pressure. 3 Principle The test material is heated under reflux with a water-immiscible solvent, which co-distills with the water in the sample. Condensed solvent and water are continuously separated in a trap, the water settling in the graduated section of the trap and the solvent returning to the still. 4 Reagents NOTE For the purposes of this International Standard, the expression “% (V/V)” is used to represent the volume fraction of a material. A solvent-carrier liquid appropriate to the materials being tested (see Table 3) shall be used. 4.1 Aromatic solvent The following aromatic solvents, free of water (0,02 % maximum) are suitable: a) industrial grade xylene (mixed xylenes); b) a blend of 20 % (V/V) industrial grade toluene and 80 % (V/V) industrial grade xylene (mixed xylenes); c)...
