Data record `std.astm-d6871.structure.water-reagents`

Verified 2026-10-24 Confidence: High

Footnote A to Table 1 of ASTM D6871-26 qualifies the water determination by ASTM D1533: some natural ester formulations call for the alternate reagents of ASTM D1533 Annex A1, and when the additive package of the fluid is not known the reagents intended for aldehydes and ketones are the ones to use, since the standard reagents can otherwise give a high and erratic water result.
