In December 2016, the issue of proper water measurement in crude surfaced and was discussed at all subsequent CCQTA Open Forum meetings during 2017. The capabilities and limitations of available methods were discussed suggesting a need to provide some direction to industry on fit-for-purpose testing and the potential use of a referee method.

This white paper has been developed by the project group to provide information to users to understand the benefits and limitations of the various methods in a fit-for-purpose framework. This document was revised in 2024 to include the addition of ASTM D4928 procedure C.
