CONTAINED IN VOL. 08.03, 2018 Describes the reaction of Iodine (I[2]) with water (Karl Fischer Reaction) to determine the amount of moisture in a polymer sample.

1.1This method uses the reaction of Iodine (I₂) with water (Karl Fischer Reaction) to determine the amount of moisture in a polymer sample.2

1.2This test method is intended to be used for the determination of moisture in most plastics. Plastics containing volatile components such as residual monomers and plasticizers are capable of releasing components that will interfere with the I₂/water reaction.

1.3This method is suitable for measuring moisture over the range of 0.005 to 100 %. Sample size shall be adjusted to obtain an accurate moisture measurement.

1.4The values stated in SI units are regarded as the standard.

Note 1:This standard is equivalent to ISO 15512 Method B.

1.5This 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, health, and environmental practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.

1.6This international standard was developed in accordance with internationally recognized principles on standardization established in the Decision on Principles for the Development of International Standards, Guides and Recommendations issued by the World Trade Organization Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) Committee.
