Terminology3.1 Definitions of Terms Specific to This Standard:3.1.1 fuel contaminantsfuel components other than hy-drocarbon oils. In the present
20、context the contaminants areforeign materials that make the fuel less suitable or evenunsuitable for the intended use.3.1.1.1 DiscussionThe contaminants of primary interestare foreign materials introduced subsequent to the manufactureof specification quality fuel. Hence they are materials intro-duce
21、d in the distribution system (that is, storage tanks, pipe-lines, tank trucks, barges, etc.) or in the users storage andhandling system, or generated within these systems (rustgenerated in steel pipes and tanks by moist fuel, and so forth).Contaminants may be soluble or insoluble in the fuel.3.1.2 f
22、uel entering the combustor(s)the fuel that is actu-ally burned in the gas turbine. Fuel may be sampled at a pointupstream from the point of entry into the combustor(s),provided the sample is representative of the fuel actuallyentering the combustor(s).4. General Requirements4.1 The fuels herein spec
23、ified shall be homogeneous mix-tures of hydrocarbon oils free of inorganic acid, and free ofexcessive amounts of solid or fibrous foreign matter likely tomake frequent cleaning of suitable strainers necessary.4.2 All grades containing residual components shall remainhomogeneous in normal storage and
24、 not separated by gravityinto light and heavy oil components outside the viscosity limitsfor the grade.5. Detailed Requirements5.1 The various grades of gas turbine fuel oil shall conformto the limiting requirements shown in Table 1. As noted in thesupplementary footnotes to Table 1, the requirement
25、s for GradeNos. 1-GT and 2-GT conform in most respects to correspond-ing Grade Nos. 1 and 2 fuels in Specification D396, and toGrade Nos. 1-D and 2-D in Specification D975. The viscosityrange of Grade Nos. 3-GT and 4-GT fuel brackets the GradeNos. 4, 5, and 6 of Specification D396 and Grade No. 4-D
26、ofSpecification D975. It is the intent that fuels meeting Specifi-cation D396 and D975 requirements may also be suppliedunder these specifications provided they meet the requirementslisted in Table 1.5.2 Modifications of limiting requirements and the inclusionof fuel additives to meet special operat
27、ing conditions may beagreed upon between the interested parties.5.3 The properties listed in this specification are those ofgreatest significance in obtaining acceptable performance ofthe turbine. However, trace metals, even in fractional parts permillion, are detrimental to gas turbine service life
28、. Informationon the maximum concentration of critical metallic elements inthe fuel as it enters the turbine combustor(s) is provided inAppendix X2. Distillate fuels are usually of satisfactory purityas refined, but suppliers rarely have control over possiblecontamination by trace metals in distribut
29、ion and storage. Thelimits in Appendix X2, although required as the fuel enters thecombustor(s), do not apply to the fuel as delivered unlessmutually agreed upon by the interested parties. Fuels may,therefore, require on-site clean-up, quality control procedures,special handling, or other arrangemen

SIGNIFICANCE OF ASTM SPECIFICATIONS FOR GAS TURBINE FUEL OILSX1.1 ScopeX1.1.1 This specification divides the fuel oils encompassedby Specifications D396 and D975 into four grades, based upontheir applicability for
47、use in gas turbines. Also there is a No.0-GT grade to cover low-flash naphthas. The specification doesnot include fuels primarily intended for aircraft use. It placeslimiting values on a number of the properties of the fuels ineach grade. The properties selected for limitation are those thatare beli
48、eved to be of the greatest significance in determiningperformance characteristics of the oils in the various gasturbine applications.X1.1.2 The physical properties of commercial fuel oils thatare important in gas turbine operation are generally the same asthose specified by Specifications D396 and D
49、975. In addition,gas turbine operating experience has shown that certain chemi-cal properties of the fuel oil ash must be controlled sinceslag-forming substances present in the oil ash can causecorrosion and deposits on those turbine parts that must operateat surface temperatures of 593C and above. This specificationincludes the applicable physical properties from SpecificationsD396 and D975. Appendix X2 lists restrictions required tocontrol high temperature corrosion and deposits.X1.2 GradesX1.2.1 Grade 0-GT includes naphtha, Jet B, and othe
