PREFACE
This Standard was prepared by the Standards Australia Committee CH/1, Laboratory Glassware and
Related Apparatus, to supersede the 1962 edition of AS R25, Dean and Stark apparatus . It is based
on BS 756:1952 with amendments.
The objective of this Standard is to provide a specification for the Dean and Stark apparatus used in
laboratories for the determination of the water content of a sample by the method of distillation with
an immiscible liquid.

Dean and Stark apparatus
1 SCOPE This Standard specifies suitable apparatus for the determination of the water
content of sample by the method of distillation with an immiscible liquid.
4 MATERIAL The receiver and condenser shall be made of borosilicate glass as free
as possible from visible defects and shall be well annealed.
5 DESIGN AND DIMENSIONS The general design and dimensions of the apparatus
shall be as shown in Figure 1 to Figure 12. The only dimensions that are mandatory are
those given in Clause 7 and Table 2. The remaining dimensions are given for the guidance
of manufacturers.
7 CONDENSER
7.1 Design and dimensions The condenser shall be a glass water-cooled reflux type,
of the design and dimensions shown in Figure 3. The only mandatory dimensions (see
Clause 5) for the condenser are the external diameters of the inner tube and of the jacket,
which shall be 16-17 mm, and 23-25 mm, respectively.
7.2 Construction The following features should be incorporated in the construction of
the condenser:
(a) The joints A and B should be neatly finished as shown in Figure 3; in particular, the
bore at B should have the minimum disturbance.
(b) The shoulder above the cone of the k6 Series, 18.8 mm diameter joint at C should
be elongated as shown in Figure 3, thus avoiding a sharp re-entrant shape which
may restrict the free flow of liquid down the inner wall.
