Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If viscosity >125 SUS at 37.8°C
Exceeds No. 4 limit, qualifying as No. 6-type residual fuel.
If <25° A.P.I. but still No. 4 viscosity
Gravity threshold separates lighter from heavier blends.
If formulated with >30% lubricants/additives
Lubricating prep dominance moves from fuel oils to 3403.
