7、products Fuels (class F) Classification Part3: Family L (Liquefied petroleum gases)” published by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO). ISO8216-3 was prepared as a result of discussion in subcommittee4, Classifications and specifications, of Technical Committee28, Petroleum produ
8、cts and lubricants, in which the UK participated. A general classification of petroleum products (ISO8681) prepared in ISO/TC28 has allocated class F to petroleum fuels. ISO8216 is being issued in several Parts covering the classification of different types of fuel. The following other Parts of BS68
9、43 have been published to implement the corresponding Parts of ISO8216. Part 0: General classification; Part 1: Marine fuels; Part 2: Gas turbine fuels for industrial and marine applications. Terminology and conventions. The text of the international standard has been approved as suitable for public
10、ation as a British Standard without deviation. Some terminology and certain conventions are not identical with those used in British Standards. Attention is drawn especially to the following. Wherever the words “part of ISO8216” appear, referring to this standard, they should be read as “Part of BS6
11、843”. A British Standard does not purport to include all the necessary provisions of a contract. Users of British Standards are responsible for their correct application. Compliance with a British Standard does not of itself confer immunity from legal obligations. Cross-reference International stand

14、es within class F (Petroleum fuels). It should be read in conjunction with ISO8216/0. Liquefied petroleum gases may be derived from crude oil processing or recovered from natural gas and/or crude oil production. 2 Reference ISO8216/0, Petroleum products Fuels (class F) Classification Part0: General.
15、 3 Explanation of symbols 3.1 The detailed classification of liquefied petroleum gases has been established from their compositions. 3.2 According to ISO8216/0, the products are designated by a symbol consisting of the initials ISO; the letter F (for the class fuels); the category of fuel, consistin
16、g of2letters, the first letter designating the family (L for liquefied petroleum gases). The second letter, taken separately, has no significance on its own. 3.3 In this classification system, products are designated in a uniform manner. For example, a product may be designated in the complete form,
17、 i.e.ISO-F-LP, or in the abbreviated form, i.e.F-LP. 4 Detailed classification of liquefied petroleum gases Family Designation ISO-F Category Remarks Liquefied petroleum gases LP Hydrocarbon product composed predominantly of propane and/or propene; the remaining part may consist mainly of ethane/eth
18、ene and butane/butene isomers. LB Hydrocarbon product composed predominantly of butanes and/or butenes; the remaining part may consist mainly of propane/propene and pentane/pentene isomers.2 blankBS6843-3:1988 BSI 04-1999 Publication referred to See national foreword.BS6843-3: 1988 ISO8216-3: 1987 B
