Scope*1.1 This specification (see Note 1) covers grades of fuel oilintended for use in various types of
3、 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 S5000 and No. 1 S500are particul
4、arly 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 viscosityrange.1.1.3 Grades No. 5 (Light), No
5、. 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 specification, see Appendix X1.NO
6、TE 2A more detailed description of the grades of fuel oils is givenin X1.3.1.2 This specification is for the use of purchasing agenciesin formulating specifications to be included in contracts forpurchases of fuel oils and for the guidance of consumers of fueloils in the selection of the grades most

34、ow Sulfur, Test Method D56 may be used as analternate with the same limits, provided the flash point is below93C and the viscosity is below 5.5 mm2/s at 40C. This testmethod will give slightly lower values. In cases of dispute, TestMethod D93, with the appropriate procedure, shall be used asthe refe

The extra equipment and maintenance required tohandle this fuel usually preclude its use in small installations.X1.3.8 Residual fuel oil supplied to meet regulations requir-ing low sulfur content can differ from the grade previouslysupplied. It may be lower in viscosity (and
44、 fall into a differentgrade number). If it must be fluid at a given temperature, TestMethod D97 need not accurately reflect the pour point whichcan be expected after a period of storage. It is suggested thatthe purchaser and supplier discuss the proper handling andoperating techniques for a given lo
45、w-sulfur residual fuel oil inthe installation where it is to be used.X1.4 Sampling, Containers, and Sample HandlingX1.4.1 IntroductionThis appendix section provides guid-ance on methods and techniques for the proper sampling of fueloils. As fuel oil specifications become more stringent, andcontamina
46、nts and impurities become more tightly controlled,even greater care needs to be taken in collecting and storingsamples for quality assessment.X1.4.2 Sampling, Containers, and Sample Handling Rec-ommendations:X1.4.2.1 Appropriate manual method sampling proceduresfound in Practice D4057, and automatic
47、 method sampling iscovered in Practice D4177.X1.4.2.2 The correct sample volume and appropriate con-tainer selection are important decisions that can impact testresults. Refer to Practice D4306 for aviation fuel containerselection for tests sensitive to trace contamination. Refer toPractice D5854 fo
48、r procedures on container selection andsample mixing and handling.X1.4.2.3 For volatility determination of a sample, refer toPractice D5842 for special precautions recommended forrepresentative sampling and handling instructions.X1.5 Significance of Test MethodsX1.5.1 The significance of the propert
49、ies of fuel oil onwhich limitations are placed by the specification is as follows:X1.5.1.1 Flash PointThe flash point of a fuel oil is anindication of the maximum temperature at which it can bestored and handled without serious fire hazard. The minimumpermissible flash point is usually regulated by federal, state, ormunicipal laws and is based on accepted practice in handlingand use.X1.5.1.2 Reduced Temperature PropertiesThe fuelscloud and pour points are good measures for determining lowtemperature operability with a batch of fuel oil.
