1、Designation: D 890 98 (Reapproved 2008)Standard Test Method forWater in Liquid Naval Stores1This standard is issued under the fixed designation D 890; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or, in the case of revision, the year of last revision. A num
2、ber in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. Asuperscript epsilon () indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1. Scope1.1 These test methods cover the quantitative determinationof dissolved or occluded water present in any proportion inliquid naval stores, suc
3、h as turpentine, pinene, dipentene, pineoil, tall oil, and tall oil fatty acids. Three methods of moisturetesting are included. The Karl Fisher titration method is thepreferred method for testing tall oil, Test Methods D 803.1.1.1 The Karl Fischer Titration method is based on thereaction between wat
4、er and a complex reagent2consisting ofiodine, sulfur dioxide, pyridine, and methanol, whereby theiodine is converted to a colorless compound. The appearanceof a persistent iodine color in the reaction mixture indicates thecomplete removal of free water by reaction with the reagent,and the endpoint m
5、ay be measured colorimetrically. Automatictitrators find this endpoint by the restoration of a currentstrength when the resistance provided by the presence of wateris eliminated. Amperometric automatic titrators find this end-point by detecting the current flow that occurs once water iseliminated.1.
6、1.2 The coulometric titration method determines watercontent by electronic integration of a current sufficient togenerate the precise amount of iodine from the required reagentto react with the water in the sample.1.1.3 The azeotropic method utilizes the relatively lowboiling point of water, as comp
7、ared with other sample con-stituents, in a toluene or xylene matrix so that water is collectedin a trap and measured.1.2 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded asstandard. No other units of measurement are included in thisstandard.1.3 This standard does not purport to address all of thesaf
8、ety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is theresponsibility of the user of this standard to establish appro-priate safety and health practices and determine the applica-bility of regulatory limitations prior to use.2.

9、Tall OilD 1364 Test Method for Water in Volatile Solvents (KarlFischer Reagent Titration Method)3. Significance and Use3.1 Many naval stores products contain water as a result ofthe processes used for their production. Typically refinedproducts such as terpenes, pine oil, tall oil fatty acids, anddi
10、stilled tall oil contain only traces of water, but crude tall oilmight contain 0.5 to 2.5 % of water. Although the Karl Fischerand coulometric methods are most applicable to low levels ofmoisture, these can be and are used at higher levels. Theazeotropic distillation method is generally used at high
