1、Designation: D 4868 00 (Reapproved 2005)An American National StandardStandard Test Method forEstimation of Net and Gross Heat of Combustion of Burnerand Diesel Fuels1This standard is issued under the fixed designation D 4868; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforig
2、inal adoption or, in the case of revision, the year of last 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 test method covers the estimation of the gross andnet hea
3、t of combustion in SI units, megajoules per kilogram, ofpetroleum fuels from the fuel density, sulfur, water, and ashcontent.NOTE 1The equation for estimation of net and gross heat of combus-tion used in this method were originally published by the NIST Publica-tion No. 97.1.2 This test method is es
4、pecially useful for estimating,using a minimum number of tests, the heat of combustion ofburner and diesel fuels for which it is not usually critical toobtain very precise heat determinations.NOTE 2More accurate estimation methods are available for aviationfuels (Test Methods D 1405 and D 3338, and
5、D 4529). However, thoseestimation methods require additional tests to those required in this testmethod.1.3 This test method is purely empirical (Note 1). It isapplicable only to liquid hydrocarbon fuels derived by normalrefining processes from conventional crude oil that conform tothe requirements
6、of specifications for petroleum fuels asdescribed in Note 3. This test method is valid for those fuels inthe density range from 750 to 1000 kg/m3and those that do notcontain an unusually high aromatic content. High aromaticcontent fuels will not normally meet fuel specification criteria.NOTE 3The es
7、timation of the heat of combustion of a hydrocarbonfuel from its density and sulfur, water, and ash content is justifiable onlywhen the fuel belongs to well-defined classes for which a relationshipbetween these quantities have been derived from accurate experimentalmeasurements on representative sam
8、ples of these classes. Even in theseclasses, the possibility that the estimate may be in error by large amountsfor individual fuels should be recognized. This test method has been testedfor a limited number of fuels from oil sand bitumen and shale oil originand has been found to be valid. The classe

It is theresponsibility of the user of
12、this standard to establish appro-priate safety and health practices and determine the applica-bility of regulatory limitations prior to use.2.

Summary of Test Method3.1 The density and sulfur, wat
22、er, and ash content of thesample are determined by experimental test methods. The heatof combustion is calculated using the values obtained by thesetest methods based on reported correlations.4. Significance and Use4.1 This test method is intended for use in cases where anexperimental determination
23、of heat of combustion is notavailable and cannot be made conveniently, and where anestimate is considered satisfactory. It is not intended as asubstitute for experimental measurement of heat of combus-tion.5. Procedure5.1 Determine the density to the nearest 0.1 kg/m3asdescribed in Practice D 1298,

Precision and Bias8.1 PrecisionThe precision4of the estimated values willbe dependent upon the accuracy of the determined density andsulfur, water and ash contents. The following precision is theaggregate precision of the
29、measurements used to calculate theheat content by (Eq 1) and (Eq 2) and does not indicate theprecision of the heat content of an individual sample. Thatprecision is estimated in Note 4. When using data on thedensity, sulfur, water and ash content of a fuel determined byTest Methods D 4052, D 4294, D
30、 1796, and D 482, respec-tively, the following criteria shall be used for judging theacceptability of estimated heat of combustion results.8.1.1 RepeatabilityThe difference between successive re-sults obtained by the same operator with the same apparatusunder constant operating conditions on identic
