ASTM D 3921 Document Information:
Title
Standard Test Method for Oil and Grease and Petroleum Hydrocarbons in Water
ASTM International
Publication Date:
Feb 10, 1996
Scope:
This test method covers the determination of fluorocarbon-extractable
substances as an estimation
of the combined oil and grease and the petroleum hydrocarbon contents
of a sample of water or waste
water in the range from 0.5 to 100 mg/L. It is the user's
responsibility to assume the validity of
the standard for untested types of water.
This test method defines oil and grease in water and waste water as
that matter which is
extractable in the test method and measured by infrared absorption.
Similarly, this test method
defines petroleum hydrocarbons in water and waste water as that oil
and grease which is not
adsorbed by silica gel in the test method and that is measured by
infrared absorption.
Low-boiling organic materials are lost by evaporation during the
manipulative transfers. However,
these evaporative losses are generally much lower than those
experienced with gravimetric
procedures that require solvent evaporation before the residue is
weighed.
This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns,
if any, associated with its
use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to
establish appropriate safety and
health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory
limitations prior to use.
Keywords:
