SUPERSEDED (see Active link, below)
ASTM D2157
1. Scope
1.1 This test method covers the evaluation of the performance of distillate fuels from the standpoint of clean, efficient burning. It is intended primarily for use with home heating equipment burning No. 1 or No. 2 fuel oils. It can be used either in the laboratory or in the field to compare fuels using a given heating unit or to compare the performance of heating units using a given fuel.
1.2 The values in inch-pound units are to be regarded as the standard. The values in parentheses are provided for information only. Arbitrary and relative units are also used.
Note 1This test method applies only to pressure atomizing and rotary-type burners.
1.3 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.
2. Referenced Documents (purchase separately) The documents listed below are referenced within the subject standard but are not provided as part of the standard.
