NATIONAL FOREWORD

This Indian Standard [P : 41] (Fourth Revision) which is identical with ISO 9030 : 1990 ‘Crude petroleum - Determination of water and sediment - Centrifuge method’ issued by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) was adopted by the Bureau of Indian Standards on recommendation of the Methods of Sampling and Test for Petroleum, its Products, Gaseous Fuels and Lubricants Sectional Committee and approval of the Petroleum, Coal and Related Products Division Council.

This Standard was revised in 1984 and 1992. The fourth revision is identical with the latest version of ISO 9030 : 1990.

The text of ISO Standard has been approved as suitable for publication as an Indian Standard without deviations. Certain terminologies and conventions are, however, not identical to those used in Indian Standards. Attention is particularly drawn to the following:

a) Wherever the words ‘International Standard’ appears referring to this standard, they should be read as ‘Indian Standard’.

b) Comma (,) has been used as a decimal marker, while in Indian Standards, the current practice is to use a point (.) as the decimal marker.
