Deciphering ASTM Moisture Methods in Hydrocarbon Processing

Many analytical techniques can be used to test moisture levels in crude oil, feedstock and refined products, however navigating the nuances of ASTM methods for moisture analysis can be confusing. Watch this webinar to hear Bert Thakkar, Secretary of ASTM’s Committee D02 on Petroleum Products, Liquid Fuels, and Lubricants discuss ASTM methods and how to implement them in your lab. Dr. Kerri-Ann Blake, Product Specialist at Metrohm, will provide expert tips on sample preparation, reagent selection and instrument maintenance that help you get the most out of your measurements. 

This presentation and discussion will help you navigate the various methods for measuring moisture in crude oil and refined products. While Karl Fischer titration is not the only method available, it is the most accurate and the only method chemically specific to moisture. The examples presented in this webinar will help you match a specific type of KF analysis to your samples. Understanding the different approaches and knowing your options will help you decide which methods are best for your samples.
