We're merging our website with our main site and to offer a more streamlined experience. To make the switch smooth, this website will be unavailable for maintenance today. This means you won't be able to purchase publications. Don't worry, everything will be available on the new site by the end of the day. To avoid any hiccups, we recommend holding off on purchases until then. Thank you for your patience, and see you on the new site soon!

Scope
This International Standard specifies two procedures for the preparation of test portions from petroleum and related products boiling above 200 °C, which can then be used for the determination of total water content within the range of 3 mg/kg to 1 000 mg/kg. The method is applicable to unused and used lubricating oils, non-aqueous hydraulic fluids and high-boiling solvents. The test portions generated by these procedures are suitable for standard Karl Fischer water-content determinations, such as those described in ISO 6296 (see [1] in the Bibliography) and ISO 12937 (see [2] in the Bibliography).
