20、with motor fuels. Motor fuels, as dened by these requirements, include one or more of the fuels described in 1.2. 1.2 Meters covered by these requirements are intended for use with one or more of the following as applicable: a) Gasoline formulated in accordance with the Standard Specication for Auto

21、motive Spark- Ignition Fuel, ASTM D4814; b) Gasoline/ethanol blends with nominal ethanol concentrations up to 25 percent ethanol (E25), consisting of gasoline formulated in accordance with the Standard Specication for Automotive Spark-Ignition Fuel, ASTM D4814, when blended with denatured fuel ethan

22、ol formulated to be consistent with the Standard Specication for Denatured Fuel Ethanol for Blending With Gasolines For Use as Automotive Spark Ignition Engine Fuel, ASTM D4806; or c) Gasoline/ethanol blends with nominal ethanol concentrations above 25 percent formulated in accordance with the Stand

23、ard Specication in (b) above or formulated in accordance with the Standard Specication for Ethanol Fuel Blends for Flexible-Fuel Automotive Spark Ignition Engines, ASTM D5798. 1.3 Meters covered by this standard are for use in accordance with the National Fire Protection Associations Flammable and C

24、ombustible Liquids Code, ANSI/NFPA 30, and the Code for Motor Fuel Dispensing Facilities and Repair Garages, ANSI/NFPA 30A. 1.4 These requirements do not cover: a) Meters for use with fuels other than as described in 1.2; b) Velocity meters, head meters, or area meters; c) Meters for use in centrali

25、zed fuel oil distribution systems; and d) Meter components incorporating electrical circuits except those meeting intrinsically safe or explosion standards. 1.5 Determinations of the suitability of registers, counters, or computers used or provided with these meters, or the accuracy of measurement r

26、esulting from or required in actual application are not within the scope of these requirements.

27、 a product covered by this standard shall comply with the requirements for that component. 2.1.2 A component is not required to comply with a specic requirement that: a) Involves a feature or characteristic not required in the application of the component in the product covered by this standard, or

28、b) Is superseded by a requirement in this standard. 2.1.3 A component shall be used in accordance with its rating established for the intended conditions of use. 2.1.4 Specic components are incomplete in construction features or restricted in performance capabilities. Such components are intended fo

29、r use only under limited conditions, such as certain temperatures not exceeding specied limits, and shall be used only under those specic conditions. 2.2 Units of measurement 2.2.1 Values stated without parentheses are the requirement. Values in parentheses are explanatory or approximate information

30、 2.3 Undated references 2.3.1 Any undated reference to a code or standard appearing in the requirements of this standard shall be interpreted as referring to the latest edition of that code or standard. 3 Glossary 3.1 For the purpose of this standard the following denitions apply. 3.2 BLENDING OPTI

31、ON Dispensing devices may be provided with an option that blends two specic fuels into one fuel to be dispensed. This blending occurs at the dispenser level and can be in two forms: a) Fixed blending Blending at the dispenser level that blends two specic fuels into one fuel to be dispensed, and that

32、 fuel to be dispensed is xed. For example, xed blending includes blend options where gasoline and denatured fuel ethanol can be blended to achieve E85, which is the actual dispensed fuel. b) Variable blending Blending at the dispenser level that blends two specic fuels into the fuel to be dispensed,

33、 but the fuel to be dispensed can be any of a number of previously set points. For example, variable blending includes blend options where gasoline and E85 can be blended to achieve E40, E60, and E85 as the actual dispensed fuel. 3.3 GASOLINE/ETHANOL BLENDS Blended fuels composed of a gasoline compo

34、nent and an ethanol component. The numerical value corresponding to the ethanol component determines the blend rating (such as E85 for 85% ethanol, 15% gasoline).
