U.S. Navy Ship Salvage Manual Volume 6 - Oil Spill Response

S0300-A6-MAN-060APPENDIX FOIL CHARACTERISTICSF-1 INTRODUCTIONParagraph 2-2 defined the physical and chemical properties of oils pertinent to spill response anddescribed the factors exerting a general influence over those properties and the petroleum distillationrefinement process. The following tables, figures and text describe characteristics of specificpetroleum products, nonpetroleum oils and crude oils.F-2 OIL CHARACTERISTICS TABLES AND FIGURESThe following tables and figures provide data on physical characteristics of selected crude oils,petroleum products and nonpetroleum oils. Tables F-1 through F-3 give properties of refinedoils, while Tables F-4 through F-6 give properties of various crude oils. Table F-7 and FiguresF-1 and F-2 provide data on the behavior of crude and refined oil exposed to the environment.Table F-1.
