Water Standards

Water Standards Collection by ASTM

ASTM Water standards cover a broad spectrum, including drinking water, wastewater, and recreational waters, ensuring they meet the required health and safety benchmarks.

ASTM water standards are essential tools for industry professionals, environmentalists, and regulatory agencies. They provide a set of rigorous protocols and guidelines for water testing, treatment, and supply.

ASTM Standards in This Section Include:

  • D512 Standard Test Methods for Chloride Ion In Water
  • D1193 Standard Specification for Reagent Water
  • D1125 Standard Test Methods for Electrical Conductivity and Resistivity of Water
  • D1293 Standard Test Methods for pH of Water

Digital Access to Water Standards

In today’s fast-paced world, digital access to ASTM water standards offers unparalleled convenience and efficiency.

Gain instant ability to locate and apply the standards you need without the limitations of traditional access methods.

Digital access also means significant resource savings. Eliminating the need for physical storage and simplifying the search process, users can focus their efforts on implementation rather than administration.

This shift not only saves time but also enhances the overall effectiveness of water quality management practices.

ASTM Water standards include methods for sampling, identification, and analysis of:

  • Water and the materials dissolved or suspended in or formed from water, including physical, chemical, biochemical, radiochemical, and microbiological characteristics.
  • Communities of indigenous and other aquatic organism.
  • Hydraulic and hydrologic measurements of surface and ground waters.
  • Sediments, Geomorphology, and Open-Channel Flow
  • Membranes and Ion Exchange Materials
  • Microfiltration, Ultrafiltration, Nanofiltration, and Reverse Osmosis
  • Water – Hydraulic Fracturing Fluids
  • Water Microbiology
  • Standard methods for evaluation of the performance of materials used to modify the characteristics of water, including selective, partial, or total removal of dissolved or suspended constituents and ion interchange.
  • Standard methods for determining the corrosivity or deposit-forming properties of water.
  • The designation of terminology, units of measurement, and precision and accuracy of tests pertaining to water. The term “water” includes, but is not limited to, surface waters (rivers, lakes, artificial impoundments, runoff, etc.), groundwaters and springwaters, wastewaters (mine drainage, landfill leachate, brines, waters resulting from atmospheric precipitation and condensation (with the exception of acid deposition), process waters, potable waters, glacial melt waters, steam, water for subsurface injection and water discharges including waterborne materials and water-formed deposits.
  • Quality Systems, Specification, and Statistics
  • Sampling Water and Water-Formed Deposits, Analysis of Water for Power Generation and Process Use, On-Line Water Analysis, and Surveillance of Water
  • Methods of Radiochemical Analysis
  • Inorganic Constituents in Water
  • Methods for Analysis for Organic Substances in Water
