Salt in Crude

ASTM D3230
IP 265

Standard Test Method for Salts in Crude Oil (Electrometric Method).
Determination of the approximate chloride (salts) concentration in crude oil. The range of concentration covered is 3.5 mg/kg to 500 mg/kg or 1.0 lb/1000 bbl to 150 lb/1000 bbl (PTB) as chloride concentration/volume of crude oil.
This test method measures conductivity in the crude oil due to the presence of common chlorides, such as sodium, calcium, and magnesium. Other conductive materials may also be present in the crude oil.
