10.6.1 Scope
This test method covers the laboratory determination of water and sediment in fuel oils, by using the centrifuge method in the range from 0 to 3 percent volume. With Chapter 10, Section 3 (test method ASTM D 4007, IP 359), this chapter supersedes API Standard 2548 and the previous edition of ASTM D 1796 (IP 75).
Note: For some types of fuel oils, such as residual fuel oils or distillate fuel oils containing residual fuel components, water and sediment contents are difficult to obtain using this method. When this difficulty is encountered, Chapter 10, Section 5 (ASTM D 95) and Chapter 10, Section 1 (ASTM D 473) may be used.
CAUTION: This standard may involve hazardous materials, operations, and equipment. This standard does not purport to address all of the safety problems associated with its use. It is the responsibility of whoever uses this standard to consult and establish appropriate safety and health practices and to determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to its use. For specific precautionary statements, see 10.6.5 and Appendix A.
