3.Terminology
3.1Definitions:
3.1.1bituminous material,n—in petroleum technology ,a black or dark-colored very viscous liquid or semi-solid com-posed principally of high molecular weight condensed aromatic,or naphthenic compounds,or both.
4.Summary of Test Method
4.1The material to be tested 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.
5.Significance and Use
5.1A knowledge of the water content of petroleum products is important in the refining,purchase,sale,and transfer of products.
5.2The amount of water as determined by this test method (to the nearest 0.05or 0.1volume %,depend
ing on the trap size used)may be used to correct the volume involved in the custody transfer of petroleum products and bituminous mate-rials.
5.3The allowable amount of water may be specified in contracts.
6.Solvent-Carrier Liquid
6.1A water-immiscible solvent-carrier liquid that is mis-cible in the material being tested (see Table 1)shall be used.6.1.1Aromatic Solvent—The following aromatic solvents are acceptable:
6.1.1.1Industrial Grade Xylene—(Warning—Flammable.Vapor harmful.)
6.1.1.2A blend of 20volume %industrial grade toluene and 80volume %industrial grade xylene.(Warning—Flammable.Vapor harmful.)
6.1.1.3Petroleum Naphtha or Coal Tar Naphtha,free of water,yielding not more than 5%distillates at 125°C (257°F)and not less than 20%at 160°C (320°F)and with a relative density (specific gravity)not lower than 0.8545at 15.56/15.56°C (60/60°F).(Warning—Extremely flammable.Harm-ful if inhaled.Vapors may cause fire.)
6.1.2Petroleum Distillate Solvent—A petroleum distillate solvent containing at least 2%(V/V)aromatics and with an initial boiling point (IBP)greater than 80°C (176°F);and a final boiling point (FBP)below 250°C (482°F)shall be used.
N OTE 3—Examples of suitable solvents include Types I and IV and Classes A and B of Specification D235.
N OTE 4—It is recommended to use a wide boiling range solvent with 10%boiling below 100°C to help to ensure an even distillation rate.
6.1.3Volatile Spirits Solvent—The following volatile spirits solvents are acceptable:
6.1.3.1Petroleum Spirit,with a boiling range from 100to 120°C (212to 248°F).(Warning—Flammable.Vapor harm-ful.)
6.1.3.2Iso-octane,of 95%purity or better.(Warning—Extremely flammable.Harmful if inhaled.Vapors may cause fire.)
6.2Solvent Blank—The water content of the solvent shall be determined by distilling an equivalent amount of the same solvent used for the test sample in the distillation apparatus and testing as outline
d in Section 10.The blank shall be determined to the nearest scale division and used to correct the volume of water in the trap in Section 11.
7.Apparatus
7.1General—The apparatus comprises a glass or metal still,a heater,a reflux condenser,and a graduated glass trap.The still,trap,and condenser may be connected by any suitable method that produces a leakproof joint.Preferred connections are ground joints for glass and O-rings for metal to glass.Typical assemblies are illustrated in Fig.1,Fig.2,and Fig.3.The stills and traps should be chosen to cover the range of materials and water contents expected.On assembly,care shall be taken to prevent the joints from freezing or sticking.Always apply a very thin film of stopcock grease to prevent the glassware joints from seizing.
7.2Still—A glass or metal vessel with a short neck and suitable joint for accommodating the reflux tube of the trap shall be used.Vessels of 500,1000,and 2000-mL nominal capacity have proved satisfactory.
7.3Heater—A suitable gas burner or electric heater may be used with the glass still.A gas ring burner with ports on the inside circumference shall be used with the metal still.The gas ring burner shall be of such dimensions that it may be moved

up and down the vessel when testing materials that are likely to foam or solidify in the still.
7.4Glassware—Dimensions and descriptions of typical glassware for use in this test method are provided in Specifi-cation E123.
N OTE 5—Instead of standardizing on a particular apparatus specifica-tion with respect to dimensions and style,a given apparatus will be deemed satisfactory when accurate results are obtained by the standard addition technique described in Section 9.
8.Sampling
8.1Sampling is defined as all steps required to obtain an aliquot of the contents of any pipe,tank,or other system and to place the sample into the laboratory test container.Only representative samples obtained as specified in Practices D4057(API MPMS Chapter 8.1)and D4177(API MPMS Chapter 8.2)shall be used for this test method.
8.2The size of the test portion should be based on the expected water content of the sample,such that the water yield does not exceed the capacity of the trap (unless a trap with a stopcock is used permitting excess water to be withdrawn into a graduated cylinder).
8.3Practice D5854(API MPMS Chapter 8.3)contains information on sampling and homogenization effic
iency of unknown mixers.This test method should not be followed without strict adherence to Practice D5854(API MPMS Chapter 8.3).9.Verification
9.1The accuracy of the graduation marks on the trap shall be certified or verified,using only national or international standards,such as National Institute of Standards and Technol-ogy (NIST)4traceable equipment.Verification shall be with a traceable 5mL Micro Burette or Micro Pipette,readable to the nearest 0.01mL.
9.1.1In styles A,B,C,and D,as specified in Table 2(Table 1in Specification E123),each subdivision (that is,0.1mL through 1.0mL)in the conical portion of the tube shall be verified.Thereafter,each major subdivision (that is,2.0mL,3.0mL,4.0mL,and up to the total volume of the trap)shall be verified.
9.1.2In styles E and F,as specified in Table 2,each major subdivision (0.1mL,1.0mL,2.0mL,4.0mL,and 5.0mL in the case of Style E;0.05mL,0.5mL,1.0mL,1.5mL,and 2.0mL in the case of Style F)shall be verified.
9.2The entire glassware assembly shall be verified prior to first use and at a regular frequency thereafter as follows.9.2.1Put 400mL of dry (0.02%water maximum)xylene or the solvent to be utilized in the analysis of unknown samples into the apparatus and test in accordance with Section 10.When c
omplete,discard the contents of the trap and add the volume of water as specified as first test in Table 3directly to the distillation flask and test in accordance with Section 10.9.2.2Repeat the test in 9.2.1,and add the volume specified as second test in Table 3directly to the flask.The assembly of the apparatus is satisfactory only if the trap readings are within the tolerances specified in Table 3.
9.3A reading outside the permissible limits suggests a malfunction resulting from vapor leaks,too rapid boiling,inaccuracies in calibration of the trap,or ingress of extraneous moisture.Eliminate these factors before repeating the verifica-tion.
10.Procedure
N OTE 6—The precision of this test method will be affected by water droplets adhering to surfaces in the apparatus and therefore not settling into the water trap to be measured.To minimize the problem,all apparatus must be cleaned chemically at least daily to remove surface films and debris,which hinder free drainage of water in the test apparatus.More frequent cleaning is recommended if the nature of samples being run causes persistent contamination.
10.1Measure a suitable amount of sample to an accuracy of 61%and transfer it to the still.
10.2Measure ordinary liquid samples in a graduated cylin-der of an appropriate size.Rinse the material adhering to the cylinder with one 50-mL and two 25-mL portions of the solvent-carrier liquid (see Section 6and Table 1).Drain the cylinder thoroughly after the sample transfer and each rinsing.10.3Weigh solid or viscous materials directly into the still and add 100mL of the selected solvent-carrier liquid.In cases of material with a low-water content when large samples must be used,a solvent-carrier liquid volume in excess of 100mL may be necessary.
10.4Glass beads or other boiling aids may be added,if necessary,to reduce bumping.
10.5Assemble the components of the apparatus,as illus-trated in Fig.1,Fig.2,and Fig.3,choosing the trap in

N OTE1—Trap shall be15to16mm in inside diameter.
FIG.3Typical Assemblies with Metal Still
accordance with the expected water content of the sample and making all connections vapor and liquid tight.If a metal still with a removable cover is used,insert a gasket of heavy paper,moistened with solvent,between the still body and the cover.The condenser tube and trap must be chemically clean to ensure free drainage of water into the bottom of the trap.Insert a loose cotton plug in the top of the condenser to prevent condensation of atmospheric moisture inside it.Circulate cold water through the jacket of the condenser.
10.6Apply heat to the still,adjusting the rate of boiling so that condensed distillate discharges from the condenser at the rate of two to five drops per second.If the metal still is used,start heating with the ring burner about 76mm (3in.)above the bottom of the still and gradually lower the burner as the distillation proceeds.Continue distillation until no water is visible in any part of the apparatus except in the trap and the volume of water in the trap remains constant for 5min.If there is a persistent ring of water in the condenser tube,carefully increase the rate of distillation or cut off the condenser water for a few minutes.
10.7When the evolution of water is complete,allow the trap and contents to cool to room temperature.Dislodge any drops of water adhering to the sides of the trap with a glass or polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE)rod or other suitable means and transfer them to the water layer.Read the volume of the water in the trap to the nearest scale division.
10.8A solvent blank shall be established,as outlined in 6.2.11.Calculation
11.1Calculate the water in the sample,as weight or volume percent,in accordance with the basis on which the sample was taken,as follows:
11.1.1Water,%(V/V)=
~Volume in water trap,mL !2~Water in solvent blank,mL !
3100
(1)
11.1.2Water,%(V/m)=
~Volume of water in trap,mL !2~Water in solvent blank,mL !
3100
(2)
12.Report
12.1Report the results as the water content to the nearest 0.05%if the 2-mL receiver has been used and to the nearest 0.1%if the 10-mL or 25-mL receiver has been used and to the nearest subdivision if a 5-mL receiver has been used with a 100-mL or 100-g sample.13.Precision and Bias
13.1Precision—The criteria described in 13.1.1and 13.1.2should be used to judge the acceptability of results when using the 10or 25-mL traps.The precision when using the 2-mL trap or a 5–mL trap has not been established.
N OTE 7—Practice D6300was not used in obtaining precision data.
13.1.1Repeatability—The difference between successive test results,obtained by the same operator with the same apparatus under constant operating conditions on identical test material,would,in the long run,in the normal and correct operation of the test method,exceed the values in Table 4in only one case in twenty.
