Section 250-RICR-120-05-20.17 - Waste Oil/Solvent Burning Regulation Recommended Test ProceduresA. Heavy Metals 1. EPA test method SW-846 "Test Methods for Evaluating Solid Waste, Physical/Chemical Methods," incorporated in § 20.4(C) of this Part.B. Flash Point 1. ASTM Test Method D 93-16 "Flash Point by Pensky Martens Closed Tester," incorporated in § 20.4(B) of this Part.C. Viscosity 1. ASTM Test Method D 445-17a "Kinematic Viscosity of Transparent and Opaque Liquids (and the Calculation of Dynamic Viscosity)," incorporated § 20.4(B) of this Part, with the modification that for oils which give evidence (increased viscosity with time outside repeatability limits, low flash point) of contamination by volatiles; a notation should be in the test report that repeatability was not obtained and list the viscosity values in sequence.D. Heating Value 1. ASTM Test Method D 240-17 "Heat of Combustion of Hydrocarbon Fuels by Bomb Calorimeter," incorporated in § 20.4(B) of this Part with the modification that the alternative fuel sample be vigorously agitated immediately prior to taking the test sample so that all particulate material be in complete suspension.E. BS & W 1. ASTM Test Method D 95-13e1 "Water in Petroleum Products and Bituminous Materials by Distillation," incorporated in § 20.4(B) of this Part, with the modification that the sample volume taken for analysis be reported.2. ASTM Test Method D 473-07e1 "Sediment in Crude and Fuel Oils by Extraction," incorporated in § 20.4(B) of this Part with the modification that a new refractory thimble be used for each determination. The value should be reported either as a combined value for water and sediment on a weight basis or reported separately.F. Ash 1. ASTM Test Method D 874-13a "Sulfated Ash from Lubricating Oils and Additives," incorporated in § 20.4(B) of this Part, with the modification that platinum crucibles should not be used.G.
