1.1 ,This test method covers the determination of the volume of free water and sediment (as a percentage of the sample) that is suspended in the bulk fuel in middle distillate fuels with viscosities in the range of 1.0 ,mm2/s to 4.1 ,mm2/s at 40 ,°,C (1.0 ,cSt to 4.1 ,cSt at 104 ,°,F) and densities in the range of 770 ,kg/m3 to 900 ,kg/m3 at 15 ,°,C.
Note 1: ,Fuels corresponding to Specification D396 Grades No. 1 and 2, D975 Grades No. 1-D and 2-D, Specification D2880 Grades No. 0-GT, 1-GT and 2-GT, and Specification D3699 Grades No. 1-K and 2-K and similar middle distillate fuels and blendstocks will usually fall in this viscosity and density range. Test Method D1796 is intended for higher viscosity fuel oils.
