Designation:D 347 97Standard 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(38C)and for reducingspecific gravity observations to the same temperature.Table 1and Table 2 give in parallel columns corrections factors forcreosote and 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 Table 2 shows the volume occupied at 100F(38C)bya quantity of oil occupying a unit volume at the indicatedtemperature;for example,1 gal of creosote measured at 120F(49C)will have a volume of 0.9921 gal at 100F(38C);thus,if the volume of creosote at 120F(49C)equals 10 000 gal,then the volume at 100F(38C)equals 10 000 times 0.9921 or9921 gal.1.3 Table 2 gives corrections for observed specific gravitywhich are simply made by adding them to the observed valuesfor temperatures above 100F(38C)and subtracting them fortemperatures below 100F(38C).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 Oct.10,1997.Published February 1998.Originallypublished as D 347 32 T.Last previous edition D 347 33(1992)e1.2These 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 and theAmerican Society for Testing and Materials.1Copyright ASTM International,100 Barr Harbor Drive,PO Box C700,West Conshohocken,PA 19428-2959,United States.TABLE 1 Volume Correction Table for Creosote,Creosote-Coal Tar Solution(up to 50%Tar),and Coal Tar(Coke-Oven Tars)The 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-tionCoalTar2200.95260.95420.95941800.96840.96960.97321400.97420.98500.98672190.95300.95460.95971790.96870.97000.97351390.98460.98530.98702180.95340.95500.96001780.96910.97040.97391380.98500.98570.98742170.95380.95540.96041770.96950.97080.97421370.98530.98610.98772160.95420.95570.96071760.96990.97120.97451360.98570.98650.98802150.95460.95610.96111750.97030.97150.97491350.98610.98680.98842140.95500.95650.96141740.97070.97190.97521340.98650.98720.98872130.95540.95690.96181730.97110.97230.97561330.98690.98760.98902120.95580.95730.96211720.97150.97270.97591320.98730.98800.98942110.95610.95770.96251710.97190.97310.97621310.98770.98840.98972100.95650.95810.96281700.97230.97350.97661300.98810.98870.99002090.95690.95840.96321690.97270.97380.97691290.98850.98910.99042080.95730.95880.96351680.97310.97420.97721280.98890.98950.99072070.95770.95920.96391670.97350.97460.97761270.98930.98990.99102060.95810.95960.96421660.97390.97500.97791260.98970.99020.99142050.95850.96000.96461650.97430.97540.97831250.99010.99060.99172040.95890.96040.96491640.97470.97580.97861240.99050.99100.99202030.95930.96080.96521630.97510.97620.97891230.99090.99140.99242020.95970.96110.96561620.97540.97650.97931220.99130.99170.99272010.96010.96150.96591610.97580.97690.97961210.99170.99210.99302000.96050.96190.96631600.97620.97730.98001200.99210.99250.99341990.96090.96230.96661590.97660.97770.98031190.99250.99290.99371980.96120.96270.96701580.97700.97810.98061180.99290.99320.99401970.96160.96310.96731570.97740.97850.98101170.99320.99360.99441960.96200.96340.96771560.97780.97880.98131160.99360.99400.99471950.96240.96380.96801550.97820.97920.98161150.99400.99440.99501940.96280.96420.96841540.97860.97960.98201140.99440.99480.99541930.96320.96460.96871530.97900.98000.98231130.99480.99510.99571920.96360.96500.96901520.97940.98040.98271120.99520.99550.99601910.96400.96540.96941510.97890
