2、 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 oil intended for use in variou
3、s types of fuel-oil-burning equipmentunder various climatic and operating conditions. These grades are described as follows:1.1.1 Grades No. 1 S5000, No. 1 S500, No. 2 S5000, and No. 2 S500 are middle distillate fuels for use in domestic and smallindustrial burners. Grades No. 1 S5000 and No. 1 S500
4、 are particularly adapted to vaporizing type burners or where storageconditions require low pour point fuel.1.1.2 Grades No. 4 (Light) and No. 4 are heavy distillate fuels or middle distillate/residual fuel blends used in commercial/industrial burners equipped for this viscosity range.1.1.3 Grades N
5、o. 5 (Light), No. 5 (Heavy), and No. 6 are residual fuels of increasing viscosity and boiling range, used inindustrial burners. Preheating is usually required for handling and proper atomization.NOTE 1For information on the significance of the terminology and test methods used in this specification,

43、 specification viscosity range. Itis intended for use both in pressure-atomizing commercial-industrial burners not requiring higher cost distillates and in burnersequipped to atomize oils of higher viscosity. Its permissible viscosity range allows it to be pumped and atomized at relativelylow-storag
44、e temperatures.X1.3.4 Grade No. 4 is usually a heavy distillate/residual fuel blend but can be a heavy distillate fuel meeting the specificationviscosity range. It is intended for use in burners equipped with devices that atomize oils of higher viscosity than domestic burnerscan handle. Its permissi
45、ble viscosity range allows it to be pumped and atomized at relatively low storage temperatures. Thus, inall but extremely cold weather it requires no preheating for handling.X1.3.5 Grade No. 5 (Light) is residual fuel of intermediate viscosity for burners capable of handling fuel more viscous than g
46、radeNo. 4 without preheating. Preheating may be necessary in some types of equipment for burning and in colder climates for handling.X1.3.6 Grade No. 5 (Heavy) is a residual fuel more viscous than Grade No. 5 (Light) and is intended for use in similar service.Preheating may be necessary in some type
47、s of equipment for burning and in colder climates for handling.X1.3.7 Grade No. 6, sometimes referred to as Bunker C, is a high-viscosity oil used mostly in commercial and industrial heating.It requires preheating in the storage tank to permit pumping, and additional preheating at the burner to perm
48、it atomizing. The extraequipment and maintenance required to handle this fuel usually preclude its use in small installations.X1.3.8 Residual fuel oil supplied to meet regulations requiring low sulfur content can differ from the grade previously supplied.It may be lower in viscosity (and fall into a
49、 different grade number). If it must be fluid at a given temperature, Test Method D97need not accurately reflect the pour point which can be expected after a period of storage. It is suggested that the purchaser andsupplier discuss the proper handling and operating techniques for a given low-sulfur residual fuel oil in the installation where itis to be used.X1.4 Sampling, Containers, and Sample HandlingX1.4.1 IntroductionThis appendix section provides guidance on methods and techniques for the proper sampling of fuel oils.As fuel oil specifications
