3、rially corrected in July 2013.1. Scope*1.1 This test method describes the laboratory determinationof water and sediment in crude oils by means of the centrifugeprocedure. This centrifuge method for determining water andsediment in crude oils is not entirely satisfactory. The amountof water detected
4、is almost always lower than the actual watercontent. When a highly accurate value is required, the revisedprocedures for water by distillation, Test Method D4006 (APIMPMS Chapter 10.2) (Note 1), and sediment by extraction,Test Method D473 (API MPMS Chapter 10.1), shall be used.NOTE 1Test Method D400
5、6 (API MPMS Chapter 10.2) has beendetermined to be the preferred and most accurate method for thedetermination of water.1.2 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded asstandard. The values given in parentheses are for informationonly.1.3 This standard does not purport to address all of thesaf

18、e of the higher density water andsediment layer at the bottom of the tube is read.4.

In cases where theimpact on the results may be significant, the user is advised toconsider using another test method, such as Test MethodD4928 (API MPMS Chapter 10.9).5. Apparatus5
21、.1 Centrifuge:5.1.1 A centrifuge capable of spinning two or more filledcone-shaped, 203-mm (8-in.) centrifuge tubes at a speed thatcan be controlled to give a relative centrifugal force (rcf) of aminimum of 600 at the tip of the tubes shall be used (see 5.1.6).5.1.2 The revolving head, trunnion ring
22、s, and trunnion cups,including the cushions, shall be soundly constructed to with-stand the maximum centrifugal force capable of being deliv-ered by the power source. The trunnion cups and cushions shallfirmly support the tubes when the centrifuge is in motion. Thecentrifuge shall be enclosed by a m
23、etal shield or case strongenough to eliminate danger if any breakage occurs.5.1.3 The centrifuge shall be heated and controlled thermo-statically to avoid unsafe conditions. It shall be capable ofmaintaining the sample temperature during the entire run at 606 3C (140 6 5F). The thermostatic control
24、shall be capableof maintaining the temperature within these limits and operatesafely if there is a flammable atmosphere.5.1.4 Electric powered and heated centrifuges must meet allsafety requirements for use in hazardous areas.5.1.5 Calculate the necessary minimum speed of the rotat-ing head in revol

27、r of swing measured between tips of oppositetubes when in rotating position, in.5.2 Centrifuge TubesEach centrifuge tube shall be a203-mm (8-in.) cone-shaped tube, conforming to dimensionsgiven in Fig. 1 and made of thoroughly annealed glass. Thegraduations, numbered as shown in Fig. 1, shall be cle
28、ar anddistinct, and the mouth shall be constricted in shape for closurewith a cork. Scale error tolerances and the smallest graduationsbetween various calibration marks are given in Table 1 andapply to calibrations made with air-free water at 20C (68F),when reading the bottom of the shaded meniscus.
29、 The accuracyof the graduations on the centrifuge tube shall be volumetri-cally verified, before use of the tube. The verification shallinclude calibration at each mark up to the 0.25 mL mark (asshown in Fig. 2), and at the 0.5, 1.0, 1.5, 2.0, 50.0, and 100 mLmarks. The tube shall not be used if the
30、 scale error at any markexceeds the applicable tolerance from Table 1.5.3 BathThe bath shall be either a solid metal block bathor a liquid bath of sufficient depth for immersing the centrifugetube in the vertical position to the 100-mL mark. Means shallbe provided for maintaining the temperature at
31、60 6 3C (1406 5F). For some crude oils, temperatures of 71 6 3C (160 65F) may be required to melt wax crystals in crude oils. Forthese crude oils, the test temperature shall be maintained highenough to ensure the absence of wax crystals.4Available from Energy Institute, 61 New Cavendish St., London,

(WarningFlammable. Keep
34、away from heat, sparks,and open flame. Vapor harmful. Toluene is toxic. Particularcare must be taken to avoid breathing the vapor and to protectthe eyes. Keep container closed. Use with adequate ventilation.Avoid prolonged or repeated contact with the skin.)6.1.1 Typical characteristics for this rea

36、vent shall be water-saturated at 60 6 3C (1406 5F) (see 5.3) but shall be free of suspended water. SeeAnnex A1 for the solvent-water saturation procedure.6.2 DemulsifierA demulsifier should be used to promotethe separation of water from the sample and to prevent itsclinging to the walls of the centr
37、ifuge tube. The recommendedstock solution is 25 % demulsifier to 75 % toluene. For somecrude oils a different ratio of demulsifier to toluene may berequired. Demulsifiers used in the concentration and quantityrecommended will not add to the water and sediment volumedetermined. The solution must be s
38、tored in a dark bottle that istightly closed.7. Sampling7.1 Sampling is defined as all steps required to obtain analiquot of the contents of any pipe, tank, or other system and toplace the sample into the laboratory test container.7.2 Only representative samples obtained as specified inPractices D40
39、57 (API MPMS Chapter 8.1) and Practice D4177(API MPMS Chapter 8.2) shall be used for this test method.7.3 Sample Mixingis typically required to obtain a testportion representative of the bulk sample to be tested, butprecautions shall be taken to maintain the integrity of thesample during this operat
40、ion. Mixing of volatile crude petro-leum containing water or sediments, or both, may result in theloss of light components.Additional information on the mixingand handling of liquid samples can be found in Practice D5854(API MPMS Chapter 8.3).8. Procedure8.1 Fill each of two centrifuge tubes (5.2) t
41、o the 50-mLmark with sample directly from the sample container. Using apipet or other suitable volume transfer device (see 5.4), add 506 0.05 mL of toluene, which has been water saturated at 60C(140F) or 71C (160F) (see 5.3). Read the top of themeniscus at both the 50 and 100-mL marks. Add 0.2 mL of
42、demulsifier solution (6.2) to each tube, using a 0.2-mL pipet orother suitable volume transfer device, such as an automaticpipettor. Stopper the tube tightly and invert the tubes ten timesto ensure that the oil and solvent are uniformly mixed.8.2 In the case where the crude oil is very viscous andmi
43、xing of the solvent with the oil would be difficult, the solventmay be added to the centrifuge tube first to facilitate mixing.Take care to not fill the centrifuge tube past the 100-mL markwith the sample.6Reagent Chemicals, American Chemical Society Specifications, AmericanChemical Society, Washing

(If the tubescannot be counter-balanced by eye, place them, in theirtrunnion cups, on either side of a balance and equalize theirmasses by the addition of water to the trunnion cups.)
