Title
Standard Specification for Diesel Fuel Oils
ASTM International
Publication Date:
Apr 15, 2008
Scope:
This specification covers seven grades of diesel fuel oils
suitable for various types of diesel engines. These grades are
described as follows:
Grade No. 1-D S15—A special-purpose, light middle
distillate fuel for use in diesel engine applications requiring a
fuel with 15 ppm sulfur (maximum) and higher volatility than that
provided by Grade No. 2-D S15 fuel.2
Grade No. 1-D S500—Aspecial-purpose, light middle
distillate fuel for use in diesel engine applications requiring a
fuel with 500 ppm sulfur (maximum) and higher volatility than that
provided by Grade No. 2-D S500 fuel.2
Grade No. 1-D S5000—A special-purpose, light middle
distillate fuel for use in diesel engine applications requiring a
fuel with 5000 ppm sulfur (maximum) and higher volatility than that
provided by Grade No. 2-D S5000 fuels.
Grade No. 2-D S15—A general purpose, middle distillate
fuel for use in diesel engine applications requiring a fuel with 15
ppm sulfur (maximum). It is especially suitable for use in
applications with conditions of varying speed and
load.2
Grade No. 2-D S500—A general-purpose, middle distillate
fuel for use in diesel engine applications requiring a fuel with
500 ppm sulfur (maximum). It is especially suitable for use in
applications with conditions of varying speed and
load.2
Grade No. 2-D S5000—A general-purpose, middle
distillate fuel for use in diesel engine applications requiring a
fuel with 5000 ppm sulfur (maximum), especially in conditions of
varying speed and load.
Grade No. 4-D—A heavy distillate fuel, or a blend of
distillate and residual oil, for use in low- and medium-speed
diesel engines in applications involving predominantly constant
speed and load.
NOTE 1—A more detailed description of the grades of diesel fuel
oils is given in X1.2.
NOTE 2—The Sxxx designation has been adopted to distinguish
grades by sulfur rather than using words such as "Low Sulfur" as
previously because the number of sulfur grades is growing and the
word descriptions were thought to be not precise. S5000 grades
correspond to the so-called "regular" sulfur grades, the previous
No. 1-D and No. 2-D. S500 grades correspond to the previous "Low
Sulfur" Grades. S15 grades were not in the previous grade system
and are commonly referred to as "Ultra-Low Sulfur" grades or
ULSD.
This specification, unless otherwise provided by agreement
between the purchaser and the supplier, prescribes the required
properties of diesel fuels at the time and place of
delivery.
Nothing in this specification shall preclude observance of
federal, state, or local regulations which may be more
restrictive.
NOTE 3—The generation and dissipation of static electricity can
create problems in the handling of distillate diesel fuel oils. For
more information on the subject, see Guide D 4865.
The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as standard. No
other units of measurement are included in this standard.
2 This fuel complies with 40 CFR Part 80—Control of
Air Pollution from New Motor Vehicles: Heavy–Duty Engines and
Vehicle Standards and Highway Diesel Fuel Sulfur Control
Requirements: Final Rule. Regulation of Fuels and Fuel Additives:
Fuel Quality Regulations for Highway Diesel Fuel Sold in 1993 and
Later Calendar Years.
*A Summary of Changes section appears at the end of this
standard.
