Indian Standard SPECIFICATION FOR

PETROLEUM HYDROCARBON SOLVENTS

( Second Revision ) 0. FOREWORD

0.1 This Indian Standard ( Second Revision ) was adopted by the In&an

Standards Institution on 1 February 1978, after the draft finalized by the Petroleum Products Sectional Committee had been approved by the Petroleum, Coal and Related Products Division Council.

0.2 This standard was first issued in 1961 when a large variety of grades

of petroleum hydrocarbon solvents was rationalized to a limited set of ranges covering the various uses and in supersession of IS : &l-1950*. In the light of experience and in order to provide for an additional grade ( solvent 125/240 ) widely prevalent in th:: country, this standard was revised in 1966. Another important change in that revision was to define the s9lventr 60180, 501120 and 901135 in terms of the dry point as the

upper limit instead of the final boiling point as in the case of the other grades. This WIS bttcause of the poor reproducibility of the final boiling point for these lower fractions and the consequent unreliability of this test requirement in specifying these grades precisely, The Doctor test: requirement was deleted for a11 the grades.

0.3 The second revision was taken up as a result of review of this standard by the Cjmm’ttee in the light of the present day requirements and availability of these solvents for various end uses. given in the 1966 version are being retained.

All the existing grades However, the references

given in clause 2.1 with respect to their end uses are being deleted. It was felt that these references were causing a bit of confusion rather than providing any guidance to the consumers. It is now left for the individual user to select any suitable grade for his specific purpose among the various grad= specified in the standard.

0.4 For the purpose of deciding whether a particular requirement of this standard is complied with, the final value, observed or calculated, expressing the result of a test or analysis, shall be rounded off in actor- ,I dance with IS : 2-196Ot. The number of significant places retained in the rounded off value should be the same as that of the specified value icl this standard.

*Spccificalion for white spirit for paints. tRu]es for rounding off numerical values ( reoisizcd ).

b) Solvent 50/ 120;

c) Solvent 90/ 135;

dj Solvent 125/240;

e) Solvent 145/205, low aromatic;

f ) Solvent 145/205, high aromatic; and

g) Solvent 150/3OO.

3. REQUSREMENTS

3.1 General - The material shall be a petroleum distillate and shall be clear and free from sediment, suspended matter and undissolved water.

prescribed

4. PACKING AND MARKING

4.1 Packing - The material shall be packed in suitable containers as agreed to between the purchaser and the supplier and subject to the provisions of latest issue of Red Tariff Rules and Rates for the Conveyance by Rail of Explosives and Other Dangerous Goods, issued by the Indian Railway Conference Association and the latest Petroleum Rules enforced in the country.

4.2 Marking

4.2.1 The material shall be supplied in accordance with,the marking and delivery instructions given by the purchaser.

*Methods of test for petroleum and its products.

4.2.2 Each container shall be marked with the following information:

a) Name and grade of the material;

bj Manufacturer’s name, initials or trade-mark, if any;

c) Volume of the contents in litres;

d) Year of manufacture or packing; and

e,’ The caution label ‘FLAMMABLE together with the corres- ponding symbol fin labelling dangerous goods [see Fig. I8 of IS : 1260 ( Part I )-1973* 1.

4.2.3 I:ach container mav also be marked with the StandardMark.

4.2.4 The use of the Standard Mark is governed by the provisions of the Bureau of Indian Standards Act, 1986 and the Rules and Regulations made thereunder. The details of conditions under which the licence for the use of Standard Mark may be granted to manufacturers or producers may be obtained from the Bureau of Indian Standards.

5. SAMPLING

5.1 Representative samples of the mater% shall be drawn as prescribed in IS : 1117-19661.

5.2 Tests for all the characteristics given in Table 1 shall be conducted on the composite sample.

5.3 The lot shall be declared as conforming to the requirements of the specification, if all the test results on the composite sample meet the relevant specification requirement.
