Furnace Oil
Product Description
Furnace oil (also known as fuel oil or bunker oil) is a dark, heavy residual petroleum product used primarily in industrial boilers, kilns, marine vessels, and thermal power plants. It is categorized broadly into standard viscosity grades (like 180 cSt and 380 cSt) or domestic/commercial heating grades numbered No. 1 through No. 6. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
Standard Specifications Overview
Because commercial specifications vary globally (such as the standard ASTM classifications or regional IS 1593 parameters), the general technical baselines for residual furnace oils typically include the following targets: [1, 2, 3, 4]
The summary sheet below provides technical baseline values across the standard commercial heating and furnace oil spectrum, aligning closely with the globally recognized ASTM D396 specifications. [1, 2]
Comprehensive Furnace Oil Specification Sheet
| Fuel Oil Grade | Common Commercial Name | Kinematic Viscosity | Min. Flash Point | Typical Density (at 15°C) | Max. Water & Sediment | Primary Use Case |
| No. 1 | Light Distillate / Kerosene | 1.3 – 2.1 cSt (at 40°C) | 38°C (100°F) | ~0.82 g/cm³ | 0.05% by volume | Outdoor/vaporizing burners |
| No. 2 | Domestic Heating Oil / Diesel | 1.9 – 3.4 cSt (at 40°C) | 38°C (100°F) | ~0.85 g/cm³ | 0.05% by volume | Residential & small boilers |
| No. 3 | Heavy Distillate / Light Blend | 5.5 – 24.0 cSt (at 40°C) | 55°C (131°F) | ~0.90 g/cm³ | 0.50% by volume | Commercial plants without pre-heaters |
| No. 4 (Light) | Intermediate Residual / IFO 180 | 24.0 – 58.0 cSt (at 40°C) | 55°C (131°F) | ~0.94 g/cm³ | 1.00% by volume | Large schools & commercial facilities |
| No. 5 (Heavy) | Medium Residual | 58.0 – 168 cSt (at 40°C) | 55°C (131°F) | ~0.96 g/cm³ | 1.00% by volume | Industrial furnaces requiring mild heat |
| No. 6 | Heavy Residual / Bunker C IFO 380 | 90.0 – 900 cSt (at 50°C) | 60°C (140°F) | 0.98 – 1.01 g/cm³ | 2.00% by volume | Marine engines & power stations |
