This document specifies two test methods for the determination of water content of raw rubber and compounded rubber using a coulometric Karl Fischer titration method:

—    

method A uses an evaporator of heating tube type oven;

—    

method B uses an evaporator of vial type oven.

It applies to the water content range between 0,01 % and 1 %.

In case of dispute, method B is the preferred method.
