ASTM D4870-99
Historical Standard: ASTM D4870-99 Standard Test Method for Determination of Total Sediment in Residual Fuels
SUPERSEDED (see Active link, below)
ASTM D4870
1. Scope
1.1 This test method covers the determination of total sediment up to 0.40% m/m in residual fuel oils having a maximum viscosity of 55 cST (mm 2/S) at 100C. Some fuels can exceed the maximum filtration time specified in this test method due to factors other than the presence of significant quantities of insoluble organic or inorganic material. This test method can be used for the assessment of total sediment after regimes of fuel pretreatment designed to accelerate the aging process.
1.2 The values stated in acceptable SI units are to be regarded as the standard.
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. For specific hazard statements see Note 1, Note 2, and Annex A1.
