Light Diesel EN590-10ppm
EN590 refers to the European standard for automotive diesel fuel.
The “EN” stands for “European Norm” and “590” signifies the
fuel’s specific properties and performance requirements. The
“10ppm” indicates the maximum sulfur content in the fuel, which
is incredibly low compared to traditional diesel fuels
These parameters include density at 15°C (typically at this temperature it will have a density of 0.856kg/m3 with a minimum of 0.82kg/m3 required), a typical 0.1% carbon residue value (where the maximum permitted for this grade is 0.3%).
The table also shows that the minimum flashpoint (the lowest temperature at which the fuel produces vapour that is an ignitable mixture in air near the surface of the liquid) is 56°C, while typically you can expect A2 Class gas oil to have a flashpoint of more than 62°C.
Other important parameters that this grade of gas oil needs to
meet are the cold filter plugging point in winter and summer (the
highest temperature at which point the oil will start to gel and
cause filter blocking issues). Class A2 gas oil needs to stay fully
mobile down to a maximum of -4°C (the typical plugging point is –
8°C in summer) and -12°C in winter (typically A2 gas oil maintains
full fluidity until -15°C).
