Subject

Determination of Filter Blocking Tendency (FBT) of distillate fuel oils where the end use demands an exceptional degree of cleanliness. This test method is applicable to fuels within the viscosity range of 1.50 to 6.00 mm²/s (cSt) at 40°C. Test range 1.0-30 (FBT/FTP).
Filterability of middle distillate fuel oils within the viscosity range from 1.70 to 6.20 mm²/s (cSt) at 40°C. Test range100-1(F-QF).
