ASTM D95 is a standardized test method titled “Standard Test Method for Water in Petroleum Products and Bituminous Materials by Distillation.” It describes a laboratory procedure to determine the amount of water (including dissolved water and free water) present in liquid petroleum products and some bituminous materials by using a distillation technique. The method is widely used in fuels, lubricants, and related petroleum industry testing because water content can affect product quality, corrosion, pumpability, and downstream processing.
