Designation:D 347 04Standard Tables forVolume and Specific Gravity Correction for Creosote,Creosote-Coal Tar Solution,and Coal Tar1,2This standard is issued under the fixed designation D 347;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(e)indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1.Scope1.1 These tables have been prepared by the National Insti-tute of Standards and Technology to meet a demand from thewood preserving industry for convenient tables for reducingcreosote volumes to the basis of 100F and of 38C and forreducing specific gravity observations to the same temperature.Tables 1-4 give in parallel columns corrections factors forcreosote,for mixtures of creosote and coal tar(up to 50%tar)designated as solution,and for coal tar.They are based ondensity determinations made on a selected range of domesticcoke-oven tars.1.2 Tables 1 and 2 show the volume occupied at 100F by aquantity of oil occupying a unit volume at the indicatedtemperature;for example,1 gal of creosote measured at 120Fwill have a volume of 0.9921 gal at 100F;thus,if the volumeof creosote at 120F equals 10 000 gal,then the volume at100F equals 10 000 times 0.9921 or 9921 gal.Likewise,Table3 provides similar information,but is based upon the volume ofoil at 38C and correction factors are based on intervals of 1C.1.3 Tables 1 and 2 give corrections for observed specificgravity,which are simply made by adding them to the observedvalues for temperatures above 100F and subtracting them fortemperatures below 100F.Table 4 provides corrections thatare based upon the volume of oil at 38C and are based onintervals of 1C.Furthermore,since the corrections for tem-peratures below 38C are listed as negative numbers,it isnecessary to add the correction,whether positive or negative,to the observed value in order to obtain the corrected value.1.4 This standard does not purport to address all of thesafety concerns,if any,associated with its use.It is theresponsibility of the user of this standard to establish appro-priate safety and health practices and determine the applica-bility of regulatory limitations prior to use.2.Keywords2.1 coal tar;creosote;specific gravity;volume1These tables are under the jurisdiction of ASTM Committee D07 on Wood andare the direct responsibility of Subcommittee D07.06 on Treatments for WoodProducts.Current edition approved August 1,2004.Published September 2004.Originallyapproved in 1932.Last previous edition approved in 1997 as D 347 97.2These tables have been adopted as standard by the American Wood PreserversAssociation and by the American Railway Engineering Association;they are theoutcome of a Joint Conference Committee representing these associations andASTM.1Copyright ASTM International,100 Barr Harbor Drive,PO Box C700,West Conshohocken,PA 19428-2959,United States.NOTICE:This standard has either been superseded and replaced by a new version or withdrawn.Contact ASTM International(www.astm.org)for the latest informationTABLE 1 Volume Correction Table for Creosote,Creosote-Coal Tar Solution(up to 50%Tar),and Coal Tar(Coke-Oven Tars)NOTEThe observed volume is to be multiplied by the factor corresponding to the observed temperature.ObservedTemper-ature,FVolume at 100F Occu-pied by Unit Volume atIndicated TemperatureObservedTemper-ature,FVolume at 100F Occu-pied by Unit Volume atIndicated TemperatureObservedTemper-ature,FVolume at 100F Occu-pied by Unit Volume atIndicated TemperatureCreo-soteSolu-tionCoalTarCreo-soteSolu-tionCoalTarCreo-soteSolu-tionCoalTar2200.95260.95420.95941800.96840.96960.97321400.98420.98500.98672190.95300.95460.95971790.96870.97000.97351390.98460.98530.98702180.95340.95500.96001780.96910.97040.97391380.98500.98570.98742170.95380.95540.96041770.96950.97080.97421370.98530.98610.98772160.95420.95570.96071760.96990.97120.97451360.98570.98650.98802150.95460.95610.96111750.97030.97150.97491350.98610.98680.98842140.95500.95650.96141740.97070.97190.97521340.98650.98720.98872130.95540.95690.96181730.97110.97230.97561330.98690.98760.98902120.95580.95730.96211720.97150.97270.97591320.98730.98800.98942110.95610.95770.96251710.97190.97310.97621310.98770.98840.98972100.95650.95810.96281700.97230.97350.97661300.98810.98870.99002090.95690.95840.96321690.97270.97380.97691290.98850.98910.99042080.95730.95880.96351680.97310.97420.97721280.98890.98950.99072070.95770.95920.96391670.97350.97460.97761270.98930.98990.99102060.95810.95960.96421660.97390.97500.97791260.98970.99020.99142050.95850.96000.96461650.97430.97540.97831250.99010.99060.99172040.95890.96040.96491640.97470.97580.97861240.99050.99100.99202030.95930.96080.96521630.97510.97620.97891230.99090.99140.99242020.95970.96110.96561620.97540.97650.97931220.99130.99170.99272010.96010.96150.96591610.97580.97690.97961210.99170.99210.99302000.96050.96190.96631600.97620.
