Rubber, raw — Determination of water content by Karl Fischer method

Scope

ISO 12492:2012 specifies a test method for the determination of water content of raw rubber and compounded rubber using a coulometric Karl Fischer titration method. It applies to the range for the water content between 0,01 % and 1 %. As this is a very sensitive method, contact of sample with any moisture, even from the surrounding environment, must be eliminated as much as possible.
