Title
Standard Test Method for Free Water and Particulate Contamination in Distillate Fuels (Visual Inspection Procedures)
ASTM International
Publication Date:
Nov 1, 2004
Scope:
(Footnote *)
This test method covers two procedures for estimating the presence of
suspended free water and
solid particulate contamination in distillate fuels having
distillation end points below 400°C
and an ASTM color of 5 or less.
Both procedures can be used as field tests at storage temperatures, or
as laboratory tests at
controlled temperatures.
Procedure 1 provides a rapid pass/fail method for contamination.
Procedure 2 provides a gross
numerical rating of haze appearance.
The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as the standard. The
values given in parentheses
are for information only.
This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns,
if any, associated with its
use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to
establish appropriate safety and
health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory
limitations prior to use.
