Asuperscript epsilon (e) indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.This standard has been approved for use by agencies of the Department of Defense.1. Scope
3、1.1 This test method covers the evaluation of smoke densityin the flue gases from burning distillate fuels. It is intendedprimarily for use with home heating equipment burning kero-sine or heating oils. It can be used in the laboratory or in thefield to compare fuels for clean burning or to compare

Terminology3.1 Definitions of Terms Specific to This Standard:3.1.1 smoke spot numberthe number of the spot on thestandard scale most closely matching the color (or shade) of thetest spot.4. Summary of Test Method4.1 A test smoke spot is obtained by pulling
7、 a fixed volumeof flue gas through a fixed area of standard filter paper. Thecolor (or shade) of the spot thus produced is visually matchedwith a standard scale, and the smoke density is expressed as a“smoke spot number.”5. Significance and Use5.1 This test method provides a means of controlling smo
8、keproduction in home heating equipment to an acceptable level.Excessive smoke density adversely affects efficiency by heat-exchanger fouling.5.2 The range of smoke densities covered by this testmethod is that which has been found particularly pertinent tohome-heating application. It is more sensitiv

The last spot, however, is very dark, reflectingonly 10% of the incident light directed thereon; thus in thiscase the reduction in reflected incident light is 90 %, wh

Limits of permissible reflectancevariation of any smoke scale spot shall not exceed 63%relative reflectance (Note 1 and Note 2).NOTE 1Such smoke scales are sufficiently accurate for field use andfor many lab
18、oratory smoke testing applications. However, speciallycalibrated scales (known as certified smoke scales) will sometimes berequired. A certified smoke scale is obtained by individually calibratingeach smoke spot of a normal smoke scale.NOTE 2Where the smoke scale is protected with a plastic or trans
