BS ISO 8217:2010 pdf free.Petroleum products—Fuels (class F)—Specifications of marine fuels.
BS ISO 8217 This International Standard specifies the requirements for petroleum fuels for use in marine diesel engines and boilers, prior to appropriate treatment before use. The specifications for fuels in this International Standard can also be applicable to fuels for stationary diesel engines of the same or similar make and type as those used for marine purposes.
This International Standard specifies four categories of distillate fuel, one of which is for diesel engines for emergency purposes. It also specifies six categories of residual fuel.The flash point for fuels in Table 1 shall be determined in accordance with ISO 27 19:2002, Procedure A. If the
flash point result of DMX is less than 40 °C, it shall be determined in accordance with Iso 3679.
The flash point of fuels in Table 2 shall be determined in accordance with ISO 27 19:2002, Procedure B.
Total sediment by hot filtration If the appearance of DMB is assessed as not clear and bright (see 7.6), the total sediment shall be determined by the test method ISO 10307-1, typically calld total sediment existent.
Total sediment—Aged Either of the standard procedures for ageing in ISO 10307-2 can be used; Accelerated Total Sediment (TSA) or Potential Total Sediment test (TSP).The reference test method shall be the Potential Total Sediment test.
For distillate fuel, the appearance of a sample shall be assessed by visual inspection in good light, free from glare and shadow, at a temperature between 10 °C and 25 °C.DMX, DMA or DMZ shall appear clear and bright. It has been reported that in some countries these grades of fuel are dyed (e.g., black) and not transparent. This affects the compliance with the requirement for clear and bright appearance and, in such circumstances, the water content shall not exceed 200 mg/kg, as determined by the Coulometric Karl Fischer titration method in accordance with ISO 12937.
If the appearance of DMB affords visual inspection and appears clear and bright, then testing for total sediment by hot filtration and for water is not required.BS ISO 8217 pdf download.
