GOST 10585-2013 PDF

Full title and description

GOST 10585-2013 — Petroleum fuel. Mazut. Specifications. An interstate (GOST) technical specification that defines classification, technical requirements, test methods and marking for mazut (residual fuel oil) intended for use as fuel in stationary boilers, technological units, transport and marine applications.

Abstract

This standard establishes the terms, classification (product grades), normative requirements and test methods for mazut (fuel oil) produced from crude oil and gas‑condensate feedstock or obtained by secondary refining processes. It covers key quality parameters such as kinematic viscosity, conditional viscosity, sulfur content, ash content, water and mechanical impurities, flash point, solidification (pour) temperature and related acceptance and marking rules. GOST 10585-2013 replaces the earlier GOST 10585-99 and is the reference for producers, purchasers and testing laboratories in the participating states.

Scope

Applies to mazut (residual petroleum fuel oil) produced from crude oil and gas‑condensate feedstock or formed by secondary processes and intended for use as a fuel for transport, stationary boiler plants and technological installations. The standard covers product classification (grades such as M‑40, M‑100, M‑200 and naval/ship grades like F‑5), normative quality limits, sampling and test methods, and marking and documentation requirements. Use of performance‑improving additives is permitted when declared.

Key topics and requirements

• Classification of mazut by intended use and viscosity/grade (common marks: M‑40, M‑100, M‑200; fleet/ship grades such as F‑5).
• Normative limits and characteristics: kinematic viscosity (measured at specified temperatures such as 50 °C, 80 °C or 100 °C), conditional viscosity (at 100 °C), ash content, mass fraction of sulfur, water content, mechanical impurities, density considerations and pour (solidification) temperature.
• Safety and performance properties: flash point (closed or open cup methods referenced), presence of hydrogen sulfide, coke residue (Conradson/other methods) and calorific value considerations.
• Reference test methods: normative references to national and international test methods (GOST/ISO/ASTM type methods for viscosity, ash, sulfur determination, water and impurities, flash point, density etc.).
• Marking, packing and documentation: requirements for product designation (including grade, sulfur content, ash classification, pour point), accompanying quality documentation and conformity statements.
• Quality acceptance and sampling: procedures for sampling, testing frequency and acceptance criteria for deliveries and production batches.

Typical use and users

Primary users and stakeholders include oil refiners and producers, fuel traders and suppliers, power plants and industrial boiler operators, marine fuel buyers and ship operators where applicable, testing and calibration laboratories, procurement and quality assurance teams, and national/regional regulators and standardization bodies responsible for fuel quality control.

Related standards

GOST 10585-2013 references and is used alongside multiple test‑method and fuel standards including (but not limited to) the earlier GOST 10585-99 (superseded), standards for viscosity measurement (e.g., GOST 33 / ISO 3104), ash determination (e.g., GOST 1461 / ISO 6245), flash point test methods (GOST/ISO Pensky‑Martens / closed cup methods), methods for sulfur determination and hydrogen sulfide, Conradson coke residue methods and other petroleum product test standards. It also interrelates with national/regional regulations on fuel quality and environmental/emissions requirements where applicable.

FAQ

Q: What is this standard?

A: GOST 10585-2013 is an interstate technical standard that specifies requirements and test methods for mazut (residual petroleum fuel oil). It defines grades, quality limits and marking for mazut used in boilers, industrial plants, transport and some marine applications.

Q: What does it cover?

A: It covers product classification (grades), essential quality characteristics (viscosity, sulfur, ash, water, mechanical impurities, flash point, solidification temperature, etc.), sampling and test methods, marking, packaging and documentation for mazut.

Q: Who typically uses it?

A: Producers/refiners, fuel traders, power and heat generation facilities, large industrial users with heavy‑fuel boilers, laboratory and testing services, ship and fleet operators (for applicable grades), and regulatory/standards organizations.

Q: Is it current or superseded?

A: GOST 10585-2013 replaced GOST 10585-99. The 2013 standard was adopted November 14, 2013 and put into effect for participating states on January 1, 2015. A later published edition with amendments was issued (print/edition dated August 2020) — users should check national catalogues for the most recent confirmed status and any national modifications.

Q: Is it part of a series?

A: It is part of the family of petroleum product and fuel standards (ICS 75.160.20). It references many companion test-method and fuel standards (GOST/ISO/ASTM standards) for measurement procedures and is used alongside other fuel‑specific national and interstate standards.

Q: What are the key keywords?

A: mazut, fuel oil, residual fuel, M-100, M-40, M-200, viscosity, sulfur, ash, flash point, pour point, petroleum fuel, specifications.
