NO. 2-D S5000 | Diesel Fuel Oil Testing According to ASTM D975-21

ASTM D975-21, Standard Specification for Diesel Fuel Oils, defines and provides specifications for No. 2-D S5000 fuel oil.

No. 2-D S500 is a low sulfur middle distillate fuel used for general purpose diesel engine applications with varying speed and load with a maximum of 5000 ppm sulfur allowed.

Paragon is capable of performing a majority of the analysis related to the testing of No. 2-D S5000 fuel oil according to ASTM D975-21 Table 1 requirements.

Procedures included on our A2LA Scope of Accreditation to ISO/IEC 17025:2005 are designated as such.

Footnotes:
[A] ASTM D2622 is listed in ASTM D975-21 as the referee method for sulfur analysis on S5000 grades. ASTM D5453 can be used as an alternative test procedure. Section 5.1.8 of ASTM D975-21 states that ASTM D5453 is appropriate for all grades of diesel fuel oil. Paragon currently offers analysis by ASTM D5453.
