Oil in Water Analysis Kit
The Oil In Water Analysis Kit enables the analysis
of total recoverable oil and grease or petroleum
hydrocarbons in water using a new method of
analysis D7066-04 approved by the ASTM
(American Society for Testing and Materials).
The existing standard EPA methods 413.2 and
418.1 have been replaced as they called for use
of Freon as the extraction solvent for the
recovery of oil and grease within a water sample.
Freon is now banned from usage as it is an
Ozone depleting chemical and harmful to the
environment. The D7066-04 method is very
similar to the EPA methods but the Freon solvent
is replaced by use of the dimer/trimer of
chlorotrifluoroethylene (C2ClF3). This solvent is
known commercially as S-316 available as an IR
spectroscopy grade solvent.
The ASTM D7066-04 method can be purchased
from the American National Standards Institute
(ANSI). Go to their website page
www.webstore.ansi.org and search for the
method D7066-04. The method describes the
procedure for testing and lists the relevant
equipment and chemicals needed. (Specac
does not provide this equipment or chemicals.)
The Oil in Water Analysis Kit from Specac
contains matched pairs of infrared grade quartz
cells supplied in three different pathlengths of
10mm, 50mm and 100mm. They are all stoppered
to ensure retention of volatile materials in the
samples. The cells have large filling ports to
ensure quick and efficient sample introduction
and removal. Matching of the cells ensures
precise, repeat measurements.
The cells are placed into the spectrometer via the
particular 3” x 2” mounting holder supplied.
