ASTM Fuel Oil Chart PDF

The document presents information about fuel oil properties in two tables. Table 3.20 lists the common grades of fuel oil, their typical uses, specifications on flash point, pour point, water and sediment content, ash content, distillation temperatures, viscosity, API gravity, and sulfur content. Table 3.21 provides analyses of fuel oils, including their ultimate analysis showing carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, oxygen, and ash content. It also lists properties like API gravity, pour point, and gross calorific value.
