Scope

1.1 These tables have been prepared by the National Institute of Standards and Technology to meet a demand from the wood preserving industry for convenient tables for reducing creosote volumes to the basis of 100176F (38176C) and for reducing specific gravity observations to the same temperature. Tables 1 and 2 give in parallel columns corrections factors for creosote and for mixtures of creosote and coal tar (up to 50% tar) designated as solution, and for coal tar. They are based on density determinations made on a selected range of domestic coke-oven tars.

1.2 Table 2 shows the volume occupied at 100176F (38176C) by a quantity of oil occupying a unit volume at the indicated temperature; for example, 1 gal of creosote measured at 120176F (49176C) will have a volume of 0.9921 gal at 100176F (38176C); thus, if the volume of creosote at 120176F (49176C) equals 10000 gal, then the volume at 100176F (38176C) equals 10000 times 0.9921 or 9921 gal.

1.3 Table 2 gives corrections for observed specific gravity which are simply made by adding them to the observed values for temperatures above 100176F (38176C) and subtracting them for temperatures below 100176F (38176C).

1.4 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety problems, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of whoever uses this standard to consult and establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.>
