Designation:D675120aStandard Specification forBiodiesel Fuel Blend Stock(B100)for Middle DistillateFuels1This standard is issued under the fixed designation D6751;the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or,in the case of revision,the year of last revision.A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval.Asuperscript epsilon()indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1.Scope*1.1 This specification covers four grades of biodiesel(B100)for use as a blend component with middle distillatefuels.These grades are described as follows:1.1.1 Grade No.1-B S15A special purpose biodieselblendstock intended for use in middle distillate fuel applica-tions which can be sensitive to the presence of partially reactedglycerides,including those applications requiring good lowtemperature operability,and also requiring a fuel blend com-ponent with 15 ppm sulfur(maximum).1.1.2 Grade No.1-B S500A special purpose biodieselblendstock intended for use in middle distillate fuel applica-tions which can be sensitive to the presence of partially reactedglycerides,including those applications requiring good lowtemperature operability,and also requiring a fuel blend com-ponent with 500 ppm sulfur(maximum).1.1.3 Grade No.2-B S15A general purpose biodieselblendstock intended for use in middle distillate fuel applica-tions that require a fuel blend component with 15 ppm sulfur(maximum).1.1.4 Grade No.2-B S500A general purpose biodieselblendstock intended for use in middle distillate fuel applica-tions that require a fuel blend component with 500 ppm sulfur(maximum).1.2 This specification prescribes the required properties ofdiesel fuels at the time and place of delivery.The specificationrequirements may be applied at other points in the productionand distribution system when provided by agreement betweenthe purchaser and the supplier.1.3 Nothing in this specification shall preclude observanceof federal,state,or local regulations which may be morerestrictive.NOTE1The generation and dissipation of static electricity can createproblems in the handling of distillate fuel oils with which biodiesel maybe blended.For more information on the subject,see Guide D4865.1.4 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded asstandard.No other units of measurement are included in thisstandard.1.5 This international standard was developed in accor-dance with internationally recognized principles on standard-ization established in the Decision on Principles for theDevelopment of International Standards,Guides and Recom-mendations issued by the World Trade Organization TechnicalBarriers to Trade(TBT)Committee.2.Referenced Documents2.1 ASTM Standards:2D93 Test Methods for Flash Point by Pensky-MartensClosed Cup TesterD130 Test Method for Corrosiveness to Copper from Petro-leum Products by Copper Strip TestD189 Test Method for Conradson Carbon Residue of Petro-leum ProductsD445 Test Method for Kinematic Viscosity of Transparentand Opaque Liquids(and Calculation of Dynamic Viscos-ity)D524 Test Method for Ramsbottom Carbon Residue ofPetroleum ProductsD613 Test Method for Cetane Number of Diesel Fuel OilD664 Test Method for Acid Number of Petroleum Productsby Potentiometric TitrationD874 Test Method for Sulfated Ash from Lubricating Oilsand AdditivesD974 Test Method for Acid and Base Number by Color-Indicator TitrationD975 Specification for Diesel FuelD976 Test Method for Calculated Cetane Index of DistillateFuelsD1160 Test Method for Distillation of Petroleum Products atReduced PressureD1266 Test Method for Sulfur in Petroleum Products(LampMethod)1This specification is under the jurisdiction of ASTM Committee D02 onPetroleum Products,Liquid Fuels,and Lubricants and is the direct responsibility ofSubcommittee D02.E0 on Burner,Diesel and Non-Aviation Gas Turbine Fuels.Current edition approved Aug.1,2020.Published October 2020.Originallyapproved in 1999 as PS 121 99.Adopted as a standard in 2002 as D6751 02.Last previous edition approved in 2020 as D6751 20.DOI:10.1520/D6751-20A.2For referenced ASTM standards,visit the ASTM website,www.astm.org,orcontact ASTM Customer Service at serviceastm.org.For Annual Book of ASTMStandards volume information,refer to the standards Document Summary page onthe ASTM website.*A Summary of Changes section appears at the end of this standardCopyright ASTM International,100 Barr Harbor Drive,PO Box C700,West Conshohocken,PA 19428-2959.United StatesThis international standard was developed in accordance with internationally recognized principles on standardization established in the Decision on Principles for theDevelopment of International Standards,Guides and Recommendations issued by the World Trade Organization Technical Barriers to Trade(TBT)Committee.D1796 Test Method for Water and Sediment in Fuel Oils bythe Centrifuge Method(Laboratory Procedure)D2274 Test Method for Oxidation Stability of Distillate FuelOil(Accelerated Method)D2500 Test Method
