1、Designation:D206817Standard Test Method forDetermining Filter Blocking Tendency1This standard is issued under the fixed designation D2068;the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or,in the case of revision,the year of last revision.A number in parenthes
2、es indicates the year of last reapproval.Asuperscript epsilon()indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.INTRODUCTIONThis test method describes three procedures using different filter media.The result of any test isdependent on the filter mandated in the procedure.If a spec
3、ification requires a specific D2068procedure,do not substitute a different procedure or filter without agreement from the specifier.1.Scope*1.1 This test method covers three procedures for the deter-mination of the filter blocking tendency(FBT)and filterabilityof middle distillate fuel oils and liqu
4、id fuels such as biodieseland biodiesel blends.The three procedures and associated filtertypes are applicable to fuels within the viscosity range of1.3 mm2to 6.0 mm2/s at 40 C.NOTE1ASTM specification fuels falling within the scope of this testmethod are:Specification D396 Grades No 1 and 2;Specifica
5、tion D975Grades 1-D,low sulfur 1-D and 2-D;Specification D2880 Grades 1-GTand 2-GT;Specification D6751.1.2 This test method is not applicable to fuels that containfree(undissolved)water(see 7.3).1.3 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded asstandard.No other units of measurement are include
