1、Designation: F 625 94 (Reapproved 2006)Standard Practice forClassifying Water Bodies for Spill Control Systems1This standard is issued under the fixed designation F 625; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or, in the case of revision, the year of l
2、ast revision. A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. Asuperscript epsilon (e) indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1. Scope1.1 This practice creates a system of categories that classifywater bodies relating to the control of spills of oil and ot
3、hersubstances that float on or into a body of water.1.2 This practice does not address the compatibility of spillcontrol equipment with spill products. It is the users respon-sibility to ensure that any equipment selected is compatiblewith anticipated products.1.3 This standard does not purport to a
4、ddress all of thesafety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is theresponsibility of the user of this standard to establish appro-priate safety and health practices and determine the applica-bility of regulatory limitations prior to use.2. Terminology2.1 Definitions:2.1.1 Recommended units

Summary of Practice3.1 General environmental conditions for spill control sys-tems are grouped into four major types of wa
9、ter bodies (seeTable 1). Additional factors that may affect spill controloperations are listed in Section 5.4. Significance and Use4.1 This practice is to be used as a guide to classify waterbodies for spill control systems. These classifications may beused in formulating standards for design, perfo
10、rmance, evalu-ation, contingency and response planning, contingency andresponse plan evaluation, and standard practice for spill controlsystems.4.2 Relatively few parameters of broad range have beenused in Table 1 in order to enable the user to readily identifygeneral conditions under which spill co
11、ntrol systems can beused.4.3 Satisfactory operation of any specific spill control sys-tems may not extend over the full range of conditions identifiedby Table 1. Detailed discussion with systems suppliers isrecommended.4.4 Effective operation of oil spill control equipment de-pends on many factors,
12、of which the prevailing environmentalconditions are just a few. Factors such as, but not limited to,deployment techniques, level of training, personnel perfor-mance, and mechanical reliability can also affect equipmentperformance.5. Use of Table5.1 Wave height is recognized as the primary variable i
13、ndescribing marine environments for spill control systems.Where currents are significant, the four water body types listedin Table 1 can be modified by appending “C”, as in “I-C”.5.2 In some situations, air temperature, water temperature,or presence of debris, or a combination thereof, may signifi-c
14、antly affect the usage of Table 1 and should be considered.5.3 Other factors such as presence of salt water or silt, orboth, should be considered if significant.6.
