Designation:D757511(Reapproved 2017)Standard Test Method forSolvent-Free Membrane Recoverable Oil and Grease byInfrared Determination1This standard is issued under the fixed designation D7575;the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or,in the case of revision,the year of last revision.A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval.Asuperscript epsilon()indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1.Scope1.1 This test method covers the determination of oil andgrease in produced and waste water samples over the concen-tration range outlined in Table 1 that can be extracted with aninfrared-amenable membrane and measured by infrared trans-mission through the membrane.1.2 This test method defines oil and grease in water as thatwhich is extractable in this test method and measured byinfrared transmission.1.3 The method detection limit(MDL)and recommendedreporting range are listed in Table 1.1.4 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded asstandard.No other units of measurement are included in thisstandard.1.5 This standard does not purport to address all of thesafety concerns,if any,associated with its use.It is theresponsibility of the user of this standard to establish appro-priate safety,health,and environmental practices and deter-mine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.1.6 This international standard was developed in accor-dance with internationally recognized principles on standard-ization established in the Decision on Principles for theDevelopment of International Standards,Guides and Recom-mendations issued by the World Trade Organization TechnicalBarriers to Trade(TBT)Committee.2.Referenced Documents2.1 ASTM Standards:2D1129 Terminology Relating to WaterD1193 Specification for Reagent WaterD2777 Practice for Determination of Precision and Bias ofApplicable Test Methods of Committee D19 on WaterD5847 Practice for Writing Quality Control Specificationsfor Standard Test Methods for Water AnalysisE168 Practices for General Techniques of Infrared Quanti-tative AnalysisE178 Practice for Dealing With Outlying Observations2.2 EPA Standards:3EPA Method 1664 Revision A:N-Hexane Extractable Ma-terial(HEM;Oil and Grease)and Silica Gel TreatedN-Hexane Extractable Material(SGT-HEM;Non-polarMaterial)By Extraction and Gravimetry40 CFR Title 40:Protection of Environment49 CFR Title 49:Transportation3.Terminology3.1 Definitions:3.1.1 For definitions of terms used in this standard,refer toTerminology D1129 and Practices E168.3.2 Definitions of Terms Specific to This Standard:3.2.1 extractor,na device that contains an infrared-amenable oil-and-grease solid-phase-extraction-membrane anddirects water flow through the membrane under applied pres-sure.3.2.2 oil and grease,n“membrane-recoverable oil andgrease”is a method-defined analyte;that is,the definition ofmembrane-recoverable oil and grease is dependent on theprocedure used.3.2.2.1 DiscussionThe nature of the oils or greases(orboth),and the presence of recoverable non-oily matter in thesample will influence the material measured and interpretationof results.4.Summary of Test Method4.1 This is a performance-based test method and modifica-tions are allowed to improve performance.4.2 A sample of water is processed through an extractor.1This test method is under the jurisdiction of ASTM Committee D19 on Waterand is the direct responsibility of Subcommittee D19.06 on Methods forAnalysis forOrganic Substances in Water.Current edition approved Dec.15,2017.Published December 2017.Originallyapproved 2010.Last current version approved in 2011 as D7575 11.DOI:10.1520/D7575-11R17.2For referenced ASTM standards,visit the ASTM website,www.astm.org,orcontact ASTM Customer Service at serviceastm.org.For Annual Book of ASTMStandards volume information,refer to the standards Document Summary page onthe ASTM website.3Available from United States Environmental ProtectionAgency(EPA),WilliamJefferson Clinton Bldg.,1200 Pennsylvania Ave.,NW,Washington,DC 20460,http:/www.epa.gov.Copyright ASTM International,100 Barr Harbor Drive,PO Box C700,West Conshohocken,PA 19428-2959.United StatesThis international standard was developed in accordance with internationally recognized principles on standardization established in the Decision on Principles for theDevelopment of International Standards,Guides and Recommendations issued by the World Trade Organization Technical Barriers to Trade(TBT)Committee.1 4.3 The extractor is then sufficiently dried of water so as toallow infrared analysis.4.4 The extractor is examined by an infrared analyzer for anoil and grease measurement.4.5 Calibrations and data are processed manually or withappropriate software.5.Significance and Use5.1 The presence and concentration of oil and grease indomestic and industrial wastewater is of concern to the publicbecause of its deleterious health,environmental,safety,andaesthetic effects.5.2 Regulations and standards have
