ASTM D4175-24E01

1.1.1 The terminology, mostly definitions, is unique to petroleum, petroleum products, lubricants, and certain products from biomass and chemical synthesis. Meanings of the same terms outside of applications to petroleum, petroleum products, and lubricants can be found in other compilations and in dictionaries of general usage.

1.1.2 The terms/definitions exist in two places: (1) in the standards in which they appear and (2) in this terminology standard. The compilation is done by a program that pulls the terms and definitions from the Definitions section (usually 3.1) of each published D02 standard. Recently the program has run in early Fall of each year. See X1.1.4 for further information.
