Designation:D 2069 91(Reapproved 1998)An American National StandardStandard Specification forMarine Fuels1This standard is issued under the fixed designation D 2069;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.This standard has been approved for use by agencies of the Department of Defense.INTRODUCTIONThis specification is intended to be technically equivalent to International Organization forStandardization,ISO 8217:1987(E),Petroleum ProductsFuels(Class F)Specifications of MarineFuels.The ASTM format for specifications has been used and,where possible,equivalent ASTM testmethods have replaced the ISO standards.The original ISO specification was prepared in cooperation with the marine and petroleumindustries.The ISO specification gives the characteristics of marine fuels that are required worldwidefor consumption aboard ships.Crude oil supplies,refining methods,ships machinery,and localconditions vary considerably,so historically,a large number of residual fuels have been available.Tocover the various possibilities,the ISO specification incorporates fifteen categories of residual fuel inaddition to four categories of distillate fuel.The ISO designations for these nineteen categories of fuelhave been retained in this test method.1.Scope1.1 This specification specifies the required properties at thetime and place of custody transfer for petroleum fuels formarine use in diesel engines and boilers.It is for the guidanceof interested parties such as marine equipment designers,andsuppliers and purchasers of marine fuels.1.2 This specification excludes marine fuels intended forgas turbine use.Gas turbine fuels for non-aviation use arecovered by Specification D 2880(or equivalent ISO 4261).1.3 This specification does not imply the availability of allcategories of fuel at all ports.1.4 This specification shall not preclude observance ofnational or local regulations that may be more restrictive.NOTE1This specification takes into account the international require-ments for flash point as stated in the International Maritime Organization(IMO)Convention for Safety of Life at Sea(SOLAS)1974,Amendment1,Chapter II2,Regulation 15.1.5 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded asstandard.The values stated in inch-pound units are for infor-mation only.1.6 The following precautionary statement pertains to thetest method portion only,Section 6,of this specification.Thisstandard does not purport to address the safety concerns,ifany,associated with its use.It is the responsibility of the userof this standard to establish appropriate safety and healthpractices and determine the applicability of regulatory limita-tions prior to use.2.Referenced Documents2.1 ASTM Standards:D 93 Test Methods for Flash Point by Pensky-MartensClosed Cup Tester2D 95 Test Method for Water in Petroleum Products andBituminous Materials by Distillation2D 97 Test Method for Pour Point of Petroleum Oils2D 189 Test Method for Conradson Carbon Residue ofPetroleum Products2D 445 Test Method for Kinematic Viscosity of Transparentand Opaque Liquids(and the Calculation of DynamicViscosity)2D 473 Test Method for Sediment in Crude Oils and FuelOils by the Extraction Method2D 482 Test Method for Ash from Petroleum Products2D 524 Test Method for Ramsbottom Carbon Residue ofPetroleum Products2D 613 Test for Ignition Quality of Diesel Fuels by theCetane Method3D 1250 Guide for Petroleum Measurement Tables2D 1298 Test Method for Density,Relative Density(SpecificGravity),or API Gravity of Crude Petroleum and LiquidPetroleum Products by Hydrometer Method2D 2500 Test Method for Cloud Point of Petroleum Oils21This specification is under the jurisdiction of ASTM Committee D-2 onPetroleum Products and Lubricantsand is the direct responsibility of SubcommitteeD02.E0.07on Marine Fuels.Current edition approved May 15,1991.Published July 1991.2Annual Book of ASTM Standards,Vol 05.01.3Annual Book of ASTM Standards,Vol 05.04.1Copyright ASTM,100 Barr Harbor Drive,West Conshohocken,PA 19428-2959,United States.D 2880 Specification for Gas Turbine Fuel Oils4D 4057 Practice for Manual Sampling of Petroleum andPetroleum Products4D 4176 Test Method for Free Water and Particulate Con-tamination in Distillate Fuels(Clear and Bright Pass/FailProcedures)4D 4294 Test Method for Sulfur in Petroleum Products byNon-Dispersive X-Ray Fluorescence Spectrometry4D 4868 Test Method for Estimation of Net and Gross Heatof Combustion of Petroleum Fuels52.2ISO Standards:ISO 91-1 Petroleum Measurement TablesPart 1:TablesBased on Referenced Temperatures of 15C and 60F6ISO 2719 Petroleum ProductsDetermination of FlashPointPensky-Martens Closed Cup Method6ISO 3015 Petroleum OilsDetermination of Cloud Point6ISO 3016 Petroleum OilsDetermination of Pour Point6ISO 3
