Based on thestoichiometry of the reaction, one mole of iodine reacts withone mole of water thus the quantity of water can be deter-mined.4.2 The precision of this test method is critically dependenton the effectiveness of the homogenization step. The accept-ability of the mixing used to achi

46、eve a homogeneous sample isdetermined by the procedure given in Practice D5854 (APIMPMS Chapter 8.3). In addition, if the test method is per-formed on a volume basis, the precision of the test method iscritically dependent on the accuracy and repeatability of thevolume injected.4.3 Two procedures ar

The other procedure provides for the direct deter-mination of the volume % of water in the crude oil bymeasuring the volume of cr

Significance and Use5.1 The accurate analysis of a crude oil sample to determinethe water content is important in the refining, purchase, sale, ortransfer of crude oils.6. Interferences6.1 A number of substances and classes of compoundsassociated with conde

49、nsation or oxidation-reduction reactionsinterfere in the determination of water by Karl Fischer. In crudeoils, the most common interferences are mercaptans andsulfides (not total sulfur). At levels of less than 500 g/gppm(m) (as sulfur), the interference from these compounds isinsignificant. Most crude oils, including crude oils classified as“sour crude,” have mercaptan and sulfide levels of less than500 g/g ppm(m) as sulfur.
