1.1This specification covers six grades of biodiesel (B100) for use as a blend component with middle distillate fuels. These grades are described as follows:
1.1.1Grade No. 1-B S15—A special purpose biodiesel blendstock intended for use in middle distillate fuel applications which can be sensitive to the presence of partially reacted glycerides, including those applications requiring good low temperature operability, and also requiring a fuel blend component with 15 ppm sulfur (maximum).
1.1.2Grade No. 1-B S15 LM—A special purpose biodiesel blendstock intended for use in middle distillate fuel applications which can be sensitive to the presence of partially reacted glycerides, including those applications requiring good low temperature operability, and also requiring a fuel blend component with 15 ppm sulfur (maximum) and combined sodium, potassium, calcium, and magnesium of 4 ppm (maximum). LM indicates Low Metals suitable for diesel engine applications with Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) or Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) aftertreatment technology.
1.1.3Grade No. 1-B S500—A special purpose biodiesel blendstock intended for use in middle distillate fuel applications which can be sensitive to the presence of partially reacted glycerides, including those applications requiring good low temperature operability, and also requiring a fuel blend component with 500 ppm sulfur (maximum).
1.1.4Grade No. 2-B S15—A general purpose biodiesel blendstock intended for use in middle distillate fuel applications that require a fuel blend component with 15 ppm sulfur (maximum).
1.1.5Grade No. 2-B S15 LM—A general purpose biodiesel blendstock intended for use in middle distillate fuel applications that require a fuel blend component with 15 ppm sulfur (maximum) and combined sodium, potassium, calcium, and magnesium of 4 ppm (maximum). LM indicates Low Metals suitable for diesel engine applications with Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) or Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) aftertreatment technology.
1.1.6Grade No. 2-B S500—A general purpose biodiesel blendstock intended for use in middle distillate fuel applications that require a fuel blend component with 500 ppm sulfur (maximum).
1.2This specification prescribes the required properties of diesel fuels at the time and place of delivery. The specification requirements may be applied at other points in the production and distribution system when provided by agreement between the purchaser and the supplier.
1.3Nothing in this specification shall preclude observance of federal, state, or local regulations which may be more restrictive.
Note 1:The generation and dissipation of static electricity can create problems in the handling of distillate fuel oils with which biodiesel may be blended. For more information on the subject, see Guide D4865.
1.4The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as standard. No other units of measurement are included in this standard.
1.5This 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.
