FOREWORD
This Sri Lanka Standard was authorized for adoption and publication
by the Council of the Bureau of Ceylon Standards on 1982-11-24
after the draft, finalized by the Drafting Committee on Petroleum.
Products had been approved by the Chemicals Divisional Committee.
In the formulation of this specification, requirements such as,
burning quality, flash point and smoke point have been carefully
considered to suit the conditions of the country and at the same
time fall in line with International Standards.
All standard values in this specification are given in SI units.
For the purpose of deciding whether a particular requirement of
this specification is complied with, the final value, observed
or calculated, expressing the result of a test or analysis shall
be rounded off in accordance with CS 102. The number of significant
places retained in the rounded off value should be the same as
that of the specified value in this specification.
In the preparation of this specification, the assistance obtained
from the publications of the Indian Standards Institution and the
American Society for Testing and Materials is gratefully acknowledged,
