ASTM RR-D02-1325 1994 PDF

Full title and description

St ASTM RR-D02-1325 1994 — ASTM Research Report RR:D02-1325 (1994). This item is listed as an ASTM research report associated with committee D02 (Petroleum Products, Liquid Fuels, and Lubricants) and is presented in vendor/library catalogues as a PDF research report from 1994.

Abstract

This research report is reported in public listings as the interlaboratory study / research-report record tied to ASTM test method D2156 (Smoke Density in Flue Gases from Burning Distillate Fuels). The report summarizes the multi‑laboratory program, test samples and measurement methodology used to derive precision or supporting data for the D2156 test method. Available online vendor descriptions are brief and do not reproduce the full report text.

Scope

The report documents an interlaboratory/round‑robin program performed under ASTM Committee D02 to evaluate and/or establish precision data and supporting information for the smoke‑density test method for burning distillate fuels (ASTM D2156). Scope includes description of participating laboratories, sample set(s), test apparatus and procedures, measurement results, statistical treatment and a precision statement or analysis intended to support the D2156 test standard. Public summaries indicate the connection to D2156 but the full text is required for exact scope details.

Key topics and requirements

• Interlaboratory study design and execution for a D02 test method.
• Measurement of smoke density from burning distillate fuels (methods, apparatus, sampling).
• Statistical analysis and derivation of precision/reproducibility data to support test method D2156.
• Data reporting, laboratory instructions and recommended procedural notes for participating labs.
• Background and rationale for any recommended changes or clarifications to the D2156 standard based on study results.

Typical use and users

Primary users are testing laboratories, fuel producers, regulatory bodies, environmental/combustion researchers and standards committees who need validated precision data or supporting evidence for the smoke density test method D2156. The research report is used to understand method precision, interlaboratory variability and to inform revisions or normative precision statements in the corresponding ASTM test method.

FAQ

Q: What is this standard?

A: This is an ASTM research report identified as RR‑D02‑1325 from 1994. It is a research/interlaboratory document produced under Committee D02 (Petroleum Products, Liquid Fuels, and Lubricants) and listed in commercial/reseller catalogues.

Q: What does it cover?

A: Public listings indicate it covers an interlaboratory study and supporting data for the smoke‑density test method ASTM D2156 (measuring smoke density in flue gases from burning distillate fuels), including experimental methods, multi‑lab results and statistical precision analysis. The brief online descriptions do not reproduce the full report text.

Q: Who typically uses it?

A: Testing laboratories, fuel manufacturers, standards developers, regulators and researchers who require validated precision statements or background data for the D2156 smoke density test method. ASTM research reports are commonly used to inform test method precision language and to support method adoption or revision.

Q: Is it current or superseded?

A: Commercial listings show the report as a 1994 research report and some vendor pages mark it "active" in their catalogues; however, research reports are archival records and the authoritative status (including whether its results have been incorporated into later revisions of D2156) should be confirmed with ASTM International and the current D2156 standard text. Public reseller listings alone are not definitive for normative status.

Q: Is it part of a series?

A: Yes — it is one item in the ASTM Research Report series for committee D02 (RR:D02‑xxxx), which comprises interlaboratory studies and background reports supporting various D02 test methods. Other RR:D02 entries document similar studies for other test methods.

Q: What are the key keywords?

A: RR:D02-1325, ASTM, D2156, smoke density, distillate fuels, interlaboratory study, precision statement, 1994.
