1、Designation:D682308(Reapproved 2013)Standard Specification forCommercial Boiler Fuels With Used Lubricating Oils1This standard is issued under the fixed designation D6823;the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or,in the case of revision,the year of la
2、st revision.A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval.Asuperscript epsilon()indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.This standard has been approved for use by agencies of the Department of Defense.1.Scope1.1 This specification covers four grades of fue
3、l oil made ofat least 25%used lubricating oils.The four grades of fuel areintended for use in various types of fuel-oil-burning industrialequipment and commercial boilers under various climatic andoperating conditions.These fuels are not intended for use inresidential heaters.1.1.1 Grades RFC4,RFC5L
4、,RFC5H and RFC6 are usedlubricating oil blends of increasing viscosity,with or withoutmiddle distillate or residual fuel oil,or both,that are intendedfor use in industrial burners and commercial boilers equippedto handle these types of fuels.This specification is forapplications where Specification
5、D6448 would not meet theperformance or other requirements of the burner or boiler inquestion.NOTE1For information on the significance of the terminology andtest methods used in this specification,see Appendix X1.1.2 This specification is for use in contracts for the purchaseof fuel oils derived from
6、 used lubricating oil and for theguidance of consumers of such fuels.This specification doesnot address the frequency with which any particular test mustbe run.1.3 Nothing in this specification shall preclude observanceof national or local regulations which can be more restrictive.In some jurisdicti
7、ons,used oil is considered a hazardous wasteand fuels derived from used oil are required to meet certaincriteria before use as a fuel.NOTE2For United States federal requirements imposed on used oilgenerators,transporters and transfer facilities,reprocessors,marketers,and burners,see 40 CFR Part 279.
8、NOTE3The generation and dissipation of static electricity can createproblems in the handling of distillate burner fuel oils.For more informa-tion on the subject,see Guide D4865.1.4 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded asstandard.No other units of measurement are included in thisstandard.
