EN ISO 3170, Petroleum liquids Manual sampling (ISO 3170:2004) EN ISO 3696, Water for analytical laboratory use Specification and test methods (ISO 3696:1987) 3 Terms and definitions For the purposes of this European Standard, the following term and definition applies. 3.1 water conte
23、nt content of water determined by potentiometric Karl Fischer procedure as given in this document 4 Principle A weighed test portion is injected into the titration vessel of a potentiometric Karl Fischer apparatus. The water present is titrated to a potentiometric end point using Karl Fischer reagen
24、t. Iodine (I2), with presence of anhydride sulfur (SO2), of methanol (CH3OH) and of an appropriate nitrogen base (RN), is introduced for the Karl Fischer reaction. Based on the stoichiometry of the reaction, one mole of iodine reacts with one mole of water. The reaction can be expressed as follows:
25、CH3OH + SO2 + RN RNHSO3CH3 H2O +I2 + RNHSO3CH3 + 2RN RNHSO4CH3+2RNHI 5 Reagents and materials Use only chemicals and reagents of recognized analytical grade. 5.1 Karl Fischer reagent, pyridine-free Karl Fischer reagent, containing iodine, sulfur dioxide and a odourless amine and with a nominal water
26、 equivalent content of either 2 mg or 5 mg water per ml equivalent. The Karl Fisher reagent shall be standardized daily before use (see 8.1). DIN EN 15692:2009-08 EN 15692:2009 (E) 5 5.2 Titration solvent methanol, anhydrous methanol with a water content of less than 0,05 % (m/m). 5.3 Water, complyi
27、ng with grade 3 of EN ISO 3696. 6 Apparatus 6.1 Karl Fischer titrator, using a potentiometric end-point. NOTE Karl Fischer titrators are commercially available and some of them automatically stop the titration at the end-point. Instructions for operation of these devices are provided by the manufact
28、urer and are not described here. The method described in this document is using a titrator with a 5 ml burette. 6.2 Electrode platinum/platinum 6.3 Syringes NOTE Needles with bores between 0,5 mm and 0,8 mm have been found suitable, such as syringe of single use with Luer connection, 5 ml or 10 ml c
29、apacity. 6.3.1 Syringe, of approximately 10 l capacity, fitted with a needle of sufficient length to enable the tip to reach under the surface of the liquid in the titration vessel when inserted through the inlet-port septum. 6.3.2 Syringe, of approximately 10 ml capacity, fitted with a needle of su
30、fficient length to enable the tip to reach under the surface of the liquid in the titration vessel when inserted through the inlet-port septum. 6.4 Analytical balance, capable of weighing with an accuracy of 0,1 mg. 6.5 Automatic burette, of 5 ml or 10 ml capacity, protected from humidity by the use
31、 of a molecular sieve (6.6) at the top. NOTE Although it is recommended that an automatic burette connected to a reservoir containing the Karl Fischer reagent is used, a burette, of approximately 5 ml capacity, fitted with a guard tube filled with molecular sieve (6.6) to prevent the ingress of mois
32、ture, may also be used. 6.6 Molecular sieve, granulometry proximally 1,6 mm to 2,5 mm, pore size close to 1 nm. If required to be dried it shall be placed in an oven at proximally 140 C for about 8 hours, then cooled in a dessicator to room temperature. 7 Sampling and sample handling 7.1 Samples sha
33、ll be taken as described in EN ISO 3170. 7.2 Take care to minimise the uptake of atmospheric moisture during sampling and sample handling. 7.3 Samples shall be shaken before used. 7.4 Samples shall be stored capped at room temperature in a dry place to avoid modification of water content. NOTE The u
34、se of a glass bottle that can be sealed with a septum has been found suitable for sampling and sample handling. A test portion of the sample can be taken through the septum with a syringe fitted with a needle. DIN EN 15692:2009-08 EN 15692:2009 (E) 6 8 Procedure 8.1 Standardization of the Karl Fisch
35、er reagent 8.1.1 Add sufficient of the titration solvent (5.2) to the clean, dry titration vessel (6.1) to cover the electrodes. Seal all openings to the vessel, start the magnetic stirrer and adjust for smooth stirring action. Turn on the indication circuit and add KF reagent (5.1) from the burette
36、 until the end point is reached. Swirl the titration vessel to dry inside walls. Add more KF reagent if needed until a steady end point is reached and maintained for at least 15 s. Repeat these swirling and titration steps until the vessels walls are dry. 8.1.2 Fill a 10 l syringe (6.3.1) with pure
37、water, taking care to eliminate air bubbles. Wipe the needle with a tissue to remove any residual water from its surface. Using the balance (6.4) weigh the syringe and the water and record the mass in mg (W). 8.1.3 Insert the needle of the syringe into the titration vessel via the inlet port septum.
38、 Ensure that the tip of the needle is below the surface of the titration solvent. Add the contents of the syringe to the titration solvent in the vessel which has been adjusted to its end point. Titrate the water with KF reagent until a steady end point is reached and maintained at least 15 s. After
39、 adding water, do not shake the vessel. 8.1.4 Record, to the nearest 0,01 ml, the volume of titrant needed to reach the end point (T). Reweigh the empty syringe and record the mass in mg. 8.1.5 To check the conformance of the KF reagent, calculate the water equivalence of KF reagent, use the followi
40、ng equation: F = W / T (1) where, F is the water equivalence of the KF reagent, expressed in mg/ml; W is the mass of water added in mg (see 8.1.2); T is the volume of titrant needed to reach the end point, expressed in ml (see 8.1.4). 8.1.6 Repeat the procedure specified in 8.1.1 to 8.1.5 to give a
41、duplicate value. 8.1.7 If the variation between the two titrations is greater than 2 % relative, discard the contents of the titration vessel. Introduce a further portion of appropriate titration solvent into the vessel and repeat the standardization procedure starting from 8.1.1. 8.1.8 If the titra
42、tions for two further portions of water still vary by more than 2 % relative, it is likely that either the Karl Fischer reagent and/or the titration solvent have aged. Replace these with fresh reagents and repeat the procedure starting from 8.1.1 8.1.9 Record the mean water equivalence value. 8.2 An
43、alysis 8.2.1 Add fresh titration solvent (5.2) to the clean, dry titration vessel (6.1) and titrate the solvent to the end point conditions as described in 8.1.1. DIN EN 15692:2009-08 EN 15692:2009 (E) 7 8.2.2 Dry the inside of a 10 ml syringe (6.3.2) by drawing the titration solvent up into the syr
44、inge and discharging back into the titration vessel. If the vessel contents become wet, add KF reagent (5.1) until the end point is maintained for at least 15 s without further addition of titrant. Repeat this drying procedure until no further addition of KF reagent is necessary to maintain the end
45、point state for at least 15 s (alternatively, oven-dried syringes, cooled in a dessicator may be used). 8.2.3 Immediately after mixing, use the dry syringe to withdraw at least three portions of the sample and discard as waste. 8.2.4 Immediately withdraw a 4 ml to 8 ml (depending on the water conten
46、t) test portion of the sample, clean the needle with a paper tissue and weight the syringe and contents to the nearest 0,1 mg. Insert the syringe into the titration vessel via the inlet port septum, such that the needle is above the surface of the solvent, and discharge its contents. Withdraw the sy
47、ringe, reseal the vessel, reweigh to the nearest 0,1 mg and record the mass m1of the sample test portion taken. 8.2.5 Titrate to the end point state, which shall be stable for at least 15 s. Do not shake the cell after addition of the sample. 8.2.6 Record, to the nearest 0,01 ml, the volume of titra
48、nt needed to reach the end point (V) and the water equivalence of KF reagent (m2). NOTE The solvent should be changed when the test portion content exceeds 2 g of sample per 15 ml of solvent or when 4 ml of titrant per 15 ml of solvent has been added to the titration vessel. 9 Calculation Calculate
49、the water content of the sample, Cs, expressed in % (m/m), using the following equation: 1012s=mVmC (2) where m1is the mass of the test portion, expressed in grams (g) (see 8.2.4); m2 is the mass of water in 1 ml of Karl Fischer reagent, expressed in mg/ml (see 8.2.6); V is the volume of titrant required to reach the end point titration, expressed in ml (see 8.2.6). 10 Expression of results Report the water content of the sample to the nearest 0,01 % (m/m). 11 Precision 11.1 General The precision given was derived from sta
