1、Designation: F625/F625M 94 (Reapproved 2017)Standard Practice forClassifying Water Bodies for Spill Control Systems1This standard is issued under the fixed designation F625/F625M; the number immediately following the designation indicates the yearof original adoption or, in the case of revision, the
2、 year of last revision. A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval.A superscript epsilon () indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1. Scope1.1 This practice creates a system of categories that classifywater bodies relating to the control of spills of o
3、il 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 the users respon-sibility to ensure that any equipment selected is compatiblewith anticipated products.1.3 The values stated in eithe
4、r 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 used independently of the other. Combiningvalues from the two systems may result in non-conformancewith the standard.1.4 This standard
5、 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 safety and health practices and determine the applica-bility of regulatory limitations prior to use.1.5 This international standard

Summary of Practice3.1 General environmental conditions for spill control sys-tem
11、s are grouped into four major types of water bodies (seeTable 1). Additional factors that may affect spill controloperations are listed in Section 5.4. Significance and Use4.1 This practice is to be used as a guide to classify waterbodies for spill control systems. These classifications may beused i
12、n formulating standards for design, performance,evaluation, contingency and response planning, contingencyand response plan evaluation, and standard practice for spillcontrol systems.4.2 Relatively few parameters of broad range have beenused in Table 1 in order to enable the user to readily identify
13、general 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 identifiedby Table 1. Detailed discussion with systems suppliers isrecommended.4.4 Effective operation of oil spill contr
14、ol 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, personnelperformance, and mechanical reliability can also affect equip-ment performance.1This practice is under the jur
