3、ember 2011.1. Scope1.1 This practice creates a system of categories that classifywater bodies relating to the control of spills of oil and othersubstances that float on or into a body of water.1.2 This practice does not address the compatibility of spillcontrol equipment with spill products. It is t
4、he users respon-sibility to ensure that any equipment selected is compatiblewith anticipated products.1.3 The values stated in either SI units or inch-pound unitsare to be regarded separately as standard. The values stated ineach system may not be exact equivalents; therefore, eachsystem shall be us
5、ed independently of the other. Combiningvalues from the two systems may result in non-conformancewith the standard.1.4 This standard does not purport to address all of thesafety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is theresponsibility of the user of this standard to establish appro-priate
6、safety and health practices and determine the applica-bility of regulatory limitations prior to use.2. Terminology2.1 Definitions:2.1.1 Recommended units of measure are given for each ofthe following definitions.2.1.2 air temperatureaverage or point temperature of theair measured at or near the grou

Additional factors that may affect spill controloperations are listed in Section 5.4. Significance and Use4.1 This practice i
11、s to be used as a guide to classify waterbodies for spill control systems. These classifications may beused in formulating standards for design, performance, evalu-ation, contingency and response planning, contingency andresponse plan evaluation, and standard practice for spill controlsystems.4.2 Re
12、latively few parameters of broad range have beenused in Table 1 in order to enable the user to readily identifygeneral conditions under which spill control systems can beused.4.3 Satisfactory operation of any specific spill control sys-tems may not extend over the full range of conditions identified
13、by Table 1. Detailed discussion with systems suppliers isrecommended.4.4 Effective operation of oil spill control equipment de-pends on many factors, of which the prevailing environmentalconditions are just a few. Factors such as, but not limited to,deployment techniques, level of training, personne
14、l perfor-mance, and mechanical reliability can also affect equipmentperformance.1This practice is under the jurisdiction of ASTM Committee F20 on HazardousSubstances and Oil Spill Response and is the direct responsibility of SubcommitteeF20.11 on Control.Current edition approved Sept. 1, 2011.
