Method	Test	Test Details	Volume	Price ($US)
D 1796	Water and Sediment	D 1796 / Water and Sediment The D1796 Water & Sediment method is used to measure the amount of visible water, sediment, and suspended matter in heavier petroleum products like oil. The D2709 Water & Sediment method is more appropriate for diesel and biodiesel. These methods do not detect entrained water; the D6304 Karl Fischer moisture titration is more suitable for entrained water.	150 mL	$37.00

E 203	KF Moisture (Volumetric)	E 203 / KF Moisture (Volumetric) The E203 Volumetric KF Moisture method measures the level of moisture entrained in a fuel sample by Karl Fischer titration. This test is very sensitive and can detect water in the low ppm (parts per million) range. This method is suitable for any fuel sample but is more commonly used for samples with ethanol content, or for samples expected to contain higher concentrations of water.	5 mL	$42.00
D 6304	KF Moisture (Coulometric)	D 6304 / KF Moisture (Coulometric) The D6304 Coulometric KF Moisture method measures the level of moisture entrained in a fuel sample by Karl Fischer titration. This test is very sensitive and can detect water in the low ppm (parts per million) range. For ethanol and ethanol blends, or samples expected to contain higher amounts of water, the E203 Volumetric KF Moisture method is more appropriate.	5 mL	$42.00

*Our goal is to provide results for standard samples within 72 hours of receipt of sample, and RUSH service within 24 hours for most tests. Turnaround time goals reflect normal business hours of 8am-4pm Monday through Friday, excluding weekends and observed holidays. RUSH service is available at 2X normal price. For RUSH service, please contact us ahead of time to reduce any delays.
