just take 5 ml sample in a test tube and heat it on a bunsen burner flame.The crackle test is an indicative test only.I do not think that it needs a standard test method to perform.

The dean stark method (ASTM D 95) is a good one.But it fails to quantify, when the water content falls below 0.10%.In such cases Karl Fischer titrator method will help you much.By which you can measure the water content in PPM.
