Title
Standard Specification for Gas Turbine Fuel Oils
ASTM International
Publication Date:
May 10, 2003
Scope:
This specification covers the selection of fuels for gas turbines,
excepting gas turbines used in
aircraft, for the guidance of interested parties such as turbine
manufacturers and the suppliers
and purchasers of fuel oils. The specification sets forth the
properties of fuels at the time and
place of custody transfer to the user.
Three appendixes are provided for informational purposes only and do
not constitute a requirement
of this specification unless mutually agreed upon between the
interested parties.
Appendix X1 describes the five grades of gas turbine fuels covered by
this specification. Further,
it states the significance of various test methods used in inspecting
the fuels.
Appendix X2 discusses the sources of fuel contaminants and notes the
significance of such
contaminants in the operation of gas turbines and gas turbine fuel
systems. The particular
significance of trace metals in gas turbine fuels is noted. Upper
limits of trace metals are
recommended for the various grades of gas turbine fuels, but these
recommended limits do not
constitute a requirement of the specification unless mutually agreed
upon by the interested
parties. Limitations due to the use of used or recycled oil are also
noted.
NOTE 1 - The gas turbine operator should consult Practice D 4418 for
methods of ensuring fuels of
adequate cleanliness and for guidance on long-term storage of
distillate fuels and on liquids from
non-petroleum sources as gas turbine.
NOTE 2 - Nothing in this specification shall preclude observance of
federal, state, or local
regulations which may be more restrictive.
NOTE 3 - The generation and dissipation of static electricity can
create problems in the handling
of distillate gas turbine fuel oils. For more information on the
subject, see Guide D 4865.
