Designation:D332607(Reapproved 2011)Standard Practice forPreparation of Samples for Identification of WaterborneOils1This standard is issued under the fixed designation D3326;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 practice covers the preparation for analysis ofwaterborne oils recovered from water.The identification isbased upon the comparison of physical and chemical charac-teristics of the waterborne oils with oils from suspect sources.These oils may be of petroleum or vegetable/animal origin,orboth.Seven procedures are given as follows:SectionsProcedure A(for samples of more than 50-mL volumecontaining significant quantities of hydrocarbonswith boiling points above 280C)8 to 12Procedure B(for samples containing significant quantities ofhydrocarbons with boiling points above 280C)13 to 17Procedure C(for waterborne oils containing significantamounts of components boiling below 280C andto mixtures of these and higher boiling components)18 to 22Procedure D(for samples containing both petroleum andvegetable/animal derived oils)23 to 27Procedure E(for samples of light crudes and medium distillatefuels)28 to 34Procedure F(for thin films of oil-on-water)35 to 39Procedure G(for oil-soaked samples)40 to 441.2 Procedures for the analytical examination of the water-borne oil samples are described in Practice D3415,D3328,D3414,and D3650.Refer to the individual oil identificationtest methods for the sample preparation method of choice.Thedeasphalting effects of the sample preparation method shouldbe considered in selecting the best methods.1.3 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded asstandard.No other units of measurement are included in thisstandard.1.4 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 and health practices and determine the applica-bility of regulatory limitations prior to use.Specific cautionstatements are given in Sections 6 and 32.2.Referenced Documents2.1 ASTM Standards:2D95 Test Method for Water in Petroleum Products andBituminous Materials by DistillationD1129 Terminology Relating to WaterD1193 Specification for Reagent WaterD3325 Practice for Preservation of Waterborne Oil SamplesD3328 Test Methods for Comparison of Waterborne Petro-leum Oils by Gas ChromatographyD3414 Test Method for Comparison of Waterborne Petro-leum Oils by Infrared SpectroscopyD3415 Practice for Identification of Waterborne OilsD3650 Test Method for Comparison of Waterborne Petro-leum Oils By Fluorescence AnalysisD4489 Practices for Sampling of Waterborne OilsE1 Specification for ASTM Liquid-in-Glass ThermometersE133 Specification for Distillation Equipment3.Terminology3.1 DefinitionsFor definitions of terms used in thispractice,refer to Terminology D1129.3.2 Definitions of Terms Specific to This Standard:3.2.1 animal/vegetable-derived oilsa mixture made ofmono-,di-,and triglyceride esters of fatty acids and othersubstances of animal or vegetable origin,or both.3.2.2 Simulated weathering of waterborne oils by distilla-tion considers only the effect of evaporation,which likely is themost significant short-term weathering effect in the environ-ment.3.2.3 Simulated weathering of waterborne oils by evapora-tion under ultraviolet light simulates the loss of light compo-nents on weathering,as well as some oxidative weathering.4.Significance and Use4.1 Identification of a recovered oil is determined by com-parison with known oils selected because of their possiblerelationship to the particular recovered oil,for example,1This practice is under the jurisdiction of ASTM Committee D19 on Water andis the direct responsibility of Subcommittee D19.06 on Methods for Analysis forOrganic Substances in Water.Current edition approved May 1,2011.Published June 2011.Originallyapproved in 1974.Last previous edition approved in 2007 as D3326 07.DOI:10.1520/D3326-07R11.2For 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.Copyright ASTM International,100 Barr Harbor Drive,PO Box C700,West Conshohocken,PA 19428-2959.United States1 suspected or questioned sources.Thus,samples of such knownoils must be collected and submitted along with the unknownfor analysis.It is unlikely that identification of the sources ofan unknown oil by itself can be made without direct matching,that is,solely with a library of analyses.5.Reagents and Materials5.1 Purity of ReagentsReagent grade chemicals shall beused in all tests.Unless otherwise indicated,it is intended thatall reagents s
