1.1 This practice covers procedures and equipment for obtaining, mixing, and handling representative samples of volatile fuels for the purpose oftesting for compliance with the standards set forth for volatility related measurements applicable to light fuels.
1.2 The applicable dry vapor pressure equivalent range of this practice is 13 kPa to 110 kPa (2 psia to 16 psia).
1.3 This practice is applicable to the sampling, mixing, and handling of reformulated fuels including those containing oxygenates. This practice is not applicable to crude oil. For the sampling of crude oil, refer to Practice D4057/API MPMS Chapter 8.1, Practice D4177/API MPMS Chapter 8.2, and Practice D8009/API MPMS Chapter 8.5.
1.4 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as the standard except in some cases where drawings may show inch-pound measurements, which are customary for that equipment.
1.5 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility ofthe user ofthis standard to establish appropriate safety, health, and environmental practices and deter- mine the applicability ofregulatory limitations prior to use.
