1.1This specification covers two grades of kerosine suitable for use in critical kerosine burner applications:

1.1.1No. 1-K—A special low-sulfur grade kerosine suitable for use in nonflue-connected kerosine burner appliances and for use in wick-fed illuminating lamps.

1.1.2No. 2-K—A regular grade kerosine suitable for use in flue-connected burner appliances and for use in wick-fed illuminating lamps.

1.2This specification is intended for use in purchasing, as a reference for industry and governmental standardization, and as a source of technical information.

1.3This specification, unless otherwise provided by agreement between the purchaser and the supplier, prescribes the required properties of kerosine at the time and place of custody transfer.

Note 1:The generation and dissipation of static electricity can create problems in the handling of kerosines. For more information on the subject, see Guide D4865.

1.4Nothing in this specification shall preclude observance of federal, state, or local regulations which can be more restrictive.

1.5The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as standard. No other units of measurement are included in this standard.

1.6This international standard was developed in accordance with internationally recognized principles on standardization established in the Decision on Principles for the Development of International Standards, Guides and Recommendations issued by the World Trade Organization Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) Committee.
