ASTM F1172-88(1998)
(Specification)Standard Specification for Fuel Oil Meters of the Volumetric Positive Displacement Type
Standard Specification for Fuel Oil Meters of the Volumetric Positive Displacement Type
SCOPE
1.1 This specification provides the minimum requirements for the design, fabrication, pressure rating, marking, and testing for fuel oil meters (volumetric positive displacement type).
1.2 The values stated in inch-pound units are to be regarded as the standard. Metric (SI) units are provided for information only.
1.3 The following safety hazards caveat pertains only to the test method section of this specification. This standard does not purport to address all of the safety problems, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.
