A number i
2、n parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. Asuperscript epsilon () 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*1.1 This specification (see Note 1) covers grades of fuel oilinte
3、nded for use in various types of fuel-oil-burning equipmentunder various climatic and operating conditions. These gradesare described as follows:1.1.1 Grades No. 1 S5000, No. 1 S500, No. 2 S5000, andNo. 2 S500 are middle distillate fuels for use in domestic andsmall industrial burners. Grades No. 1
4、S5000 and No. 1 S500are particularly adapted to vaporizing type burners or wherestorage conditions require low pour point fuel.1.1.2 Grades No. 4 (Light) and No. 4 are heavy distillatefuels or middle distillate/residual fuel blends used incommercial/industrial burners equipped for this viscosityrang
5、e.1.1.3 Grades No. 5 (Light), No. 5 (Heavy), and No. 6 areresidual fuels of increasing viscosity and boiling range, used inindustrial burners. Preheating is usually required for handlingand proper atomization.NOTE 1For information on the significance of the terminology andtest methods used in this s

43、n factit meets all requirements of the lower grade. However, to meet special operating conditions, modifications of individual limiting requirements may be agreed upon amongthe purchaser, seller, and manufacturer.BUnder United States regulations, Grades No. 1 S5000, No. 1 S500, No. 2 S5000, No. 2 S5
44、00, and No. 4 (Light) are required by 40 CFR Part 80 to contain a sufficientamount of the dye Solvent Red 164 so its presence is visually apparent. At or beyond terminal storage tanks, they are required by 26 CFR Part 48 to contain the dye SolventRed 164 at a concentration spectrally equivalent to 3
45、.9 lb per thousand barrels of the solid dye standard Solvent Red 26.CThe amount of water by distillation by Test Method D95plus the sediment by extraction by Test Method D 473 shall not exceed the value shown in the table. For GradeNo. 6 fuel oil, the amount of sediment by extraction shall not excee
46、d 0.50 mass %, and a deduction in quantity shall be made for all water and sediment in excess of 1.0mass %.DWhere low sulfur fuel oil is required, fuel oil falling in the viscosity range of a lower numbered grade down to and including No. 4 can be supplied by agreement betweenthe purchaser and suppl
47、ier. The viscosity range of the initial shipment shall be identified and advance notice shall be required when changing from one viscosity rangeto another. This notice shall be in sufficient time to permit the user to make the necessary adjustments.EOther sulfur limits may apply in selected areas in
48、 the United States and in other countries.FThis limit ensures a minimum heating value and also prevents misrepresentation and misapplication of this product as Grade No. 2.GLower or higher pour points can be specified whenever required by conditions of storage or use. When a pour point less than 18C
49、 is specified, the minimum viscosityat 40C for grade No. 2 shall be 1.7 mm2/s and the minimum 90 % recovered temperature shall be waived.HWhere low sulfur fuel oil is required, Grade No. 6 fuel oil will be classified as Low Pour ( +15C max) or High Pour (no max). Low Pour fuel oil should be used unlesstanks and lines are heated.D 396 08a3APPENDIX(Nonmandatory Information)X1.
