    This document outlines ASTM D3230, a standard test method for determining the approximate chloride content in crude oil using an electrometric method. The test method measures conductivity in crude oil caused by common chlorides like sodium, calcium, and magnesium. Knowing the chloride content is important for deciding if desalting is required and for evaluating desalter efficiency, as excessive chlorides can increase corrosion and impact catalysts during refining. The test method provides a rapid and convenient way to determine approximate chloride concentrations between 0-500 mg/kg or 0-150 lb/1000 bbl in crude oil.

    ASTM D3230 13 Standard Test Method for Salts in Crude Oil

    (Electrometric Method)

    Significance and Use
    5.1 This test method is used to determine the approximate chloride content of crude oils, a
    knowledge of which is important in deciding whether or not the crude oil needs desalting. The
    efficiency of the process desalter can also be evaluated.
    5.2 Excessive chloride left in the crude oil frequently results in higher corrosion rates in refining
    units and also has detrimental effects on catalysts used in these units.
    5.3 This test method provides a rapid and convenient means of determining the approximate
    content of chlorides in crude oil and is useful to crude oil processors.
    1. Scope
    1.1 This test method covers the determination of the approximate chloride (salts) concentration
    in crude oil. The range of concentration covered is 0 to 500 mg/kg or 0 to 150 lb/1000bbl as
    chloride concentration/volume of crude oil.
    1.2 This test method measures conductivity in the crude oil due to the presence of common
    chlorides, such as sodium, calcium, and magnesium. Other conductive materials may also be
    present in the crude oil.
    1.3 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as standard. No other units of
    measurement are included in this standard.
    1.3.1 ExceptionAcceptable concentration units are g/m
    3
    or PTB (lb/1000 bbl).
    1.4 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with
    its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and
    health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use. For
    specific warning statements, see 7.3, 7.4, and 7.11.
