1、Designation: D4868 00 (Reapproved 2010)Standard Test Method forEstimation of Net and Gross Heat of Combustion of Burnerand Diesel Fuels1This standard is issued under the fixed designation D4868; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or, in the case o
2、f revision, the year of last revision. A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. Asuperscript epsilon () indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1. Scope1.1 This test method covers the estimation of the gross andnet heat of combustion in SI units, meg
3、ajoules 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 especially useful for estimating,u
4、sing 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 D1405, D4529,and D3338). However, those estima-tion met
5、hods require additional tests to those required in this test method.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 of specifications for petroleum fuel
6、s 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 estimation of the heat of combustion o
7、f 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 samples of these classes. Even in these
8、classes, 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 classes of fuels used to establish thecorr
