GSO ASTM D6217:2022 Scope
1.1 This test method covers the determination of the mass of
particulate contamination in a middle distillate fuel by filtration. This test method is suitable for all No. 1 and No. 2 grades
in Specifications D396, D975, D2880 and D3699 and for
grades DMA and DMB in Specification D2069.
1.2 This test method is not suitable for fuels whose flash
point as determined by Test Methods D56, D93 or D3828 is
less than 38 °C.
NOTE 1—Middle distillate fuels with flash points less than 38 °C have
been ignited by discharges of static electricity when the fuels have been
filtered through inadequately bonded or grounded membrane filter systems. See Test Methods D2276 and D5452 for means of determining
particulate contamination in Specification D1655 aviation turbine fuels
and other similar aviation fuels. See Guide D4865 for a more detailed
discussion of static electricity formation and discharge.
1.3 This test method has not been validated for testing
biodiesel, such as meeting Specification D6751 or blends of
middle distillates and biodiesel, such as meeting Specification
D7467, or both. Test Method D7321 has been determined to be
suitable for testing B100 and all blends of middle distillates
and biodiesel.
NOTE 2—No. 1 and No. 2 grades in Specifications D396 or D975
currently allow up to 5 % biodiesel meeting Specification D6751. Samples
containing biodiesel can result in partial dissolution or compromise of the
membrane filters and give erroneous results.
1.4 The precision of this test method is applicable to
particulate contaminant levels between 0 g ⁄m3 to 25 g ⁄m3
provided that 1 L samples are used and the 1 L is filtered
completely. Higher levels of particulate contaminant can be
measured, but are subject to uncertain precision.
1.5 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as
standard. No other units of measurement are included in this
standard.
