Annex vm O«floitions of Tenns 



1801 API gravity. An empirical scale for 

 measuring the density of liquid petroleum 

 products, the unit being called the "degree 

 APT'. 



1802 Ash. Inorganic residue remaining 

 after ignition of combustible substancas 

 determined by definite prescribed methods. 



1803 Asphalts. Black, solid or semi-solid, 

 bitumens which occur in nature or are 

 produced as residues during petroleum 

 refining. 



1604 Bilge oil Waste oil which 

 accumulates, usually in small quantities, in 

 the lower spaces in a ship. ]tut inside the hull 

 plating. Usually mixed with larger quantitiea 

 of water. 



1805 BLowoat A sudden, violant escapa of 

 gas and oil from an oil well when high 

 pressure gas Ls encountered and preventiTa 

 measures have failed. 



1806 Boiling point The temperature at 

 which the vapor presstire of a liquid is equal 

 to atmospheric presstire. 



1607 Bunker "C* oil. General term used to 

 indicate a heavy viscous fuel oil. 



IBOa Bunker fuel General term for heavy 

 oils used as fuel on ships and in Industry. It 

 often refers to No. 5 and B fuel oils. 



1809 Bunkering. The process of loading 

 fuel aboard ship. 



1810 Conversion tables. (Approximate 

 Conversions). 



(As a general rule-of- thumb, use 0.5 barrels or 

 250 gallons per ton of oil) 



1811 Crude oil Petroleum as it comes 

 from the earth. There may be several 

 thousands of different substances in crude 

 oil. some of which evaporate quickly while 

 others persist indefinitely. The physical 

 characteristics of crude ods may vary widely. 

 Crude oUs are often identifed in trade (argon 

 by their regions of origin. This identification 

 may not relate to the apparent physical 

 characteristics of the oil Commercial 

 gasoline, kerosene, heating oils, diesel oils, 

 lubricating oils, waxes, and asphalts are ail 

 obtained by refining crude oil 



1812 Demulsibility. The resistance of an 

 oil to emulsification. or the ability of an oil to 

 separate from any water with which it is 

 mixed. The better the demulsibility rating, the 

 more quickly the oil separates fixjm water. 



1813 Density. Density is the term meaning 

 the mass of a unit volume. Its numerical 

 expression varies with the units selected. 



1814 Emulsion. A mechanical mixture of 

 liquids which do not naturally mix as oil and 

 water. Water-in-oil emulsions have the water 

 as the internal phase and od as the external 

 phase. Oil in water emulsions have oil as the 

 internal phase. 



1815 Fire point The lowest temperature at 

 which an oil vaporizes rapidly enough to 

 bum for at least 5 seconds alter ignition, 

 under standard conditions. 



1816 Flash point The lowest temperature 

 at which an oil gives off sufficient vapor to 

 form a mixture which will ignite, under 

 standard conditions. 



1817 Fraction. Refinery term for a product 

 of fractional dlstillatlan having a restricted 

 boiling range. 



1918 Fuel oil grade. Numerical ratings 

 ranging from 1 to 6. The lower the grade 

 number, the thinner the oil is and the mora 

 easily it evaporates. A high number Indicates 

 a relatively thick, heavy oil Number 1 and 

 Number 2 fuel oils are usually used in 

 domestic heaters, and the others are used by 

 Industry and ships. Number 9 and Number S 

 oils are semi-solids that must be liquified by 

 heating. Kerosene, coal oil and range oil are 

 all Number 1 oil Number 3 is no longer used 

 aa a standard term for fuel oil. 



1819 Innage. Space occupied In a product 

 container. 



1820 In pertonem. An action In personem 

 U Instituted against an Individual usually 

 through the personal service of process, and 

 may result in the Imposition of Uability 

 directly upon the person of a defendant 



1821 In rem. An action in which the vessel 

 or thing itself Is treated as the offender and 

 made defendant without any proceeding 

 against the owners or even mentioning their 

 names. The decree in an action In rem is 

 enforced directly against the condemnation 

 and sale thereot 



1822 Load On Top (LOT). A procedure for 

 ballasting and cleaning unloaded tankera 

 without discJinrging oil Half of the tanks are 

 first filled with seawater while the others are 

 cleaned by hosing. Then oil from the cleaned 

 tanks, along with oil which has separated out 

 In the full tanks, is pumped Into a single slop 

 tank. The clean water In the full tanks is then 

 discharged while the freshly-cleaned tanka 

 are filled with seawater. Ballast is thus 

 constantly maintained. 



1823 Oil films. A sUck thinner than UXXn 

 inch and may be classified as follows: 





1833 Toimage. There are various toimages 

 applied to merchant ships. The one 

 commonly implied Is gross tonnage although 

 in these days tankers and other bulk-carriers 

 are often referred to in terms of deadweight 



1833.1 Gross tonnage. 100 cubic feet of 

 permanently enclosed space is equal to one 



gross too — nothing whatever to do with 

 weight This is usually the registered tonnage 

 although it may vary somewhat according to 

 the classifying authority or nationality. 



1833.2 Net tonnage. The earning capacity 

 of a ship. The gross toimage after deductloh 

 of certain spaces, such as engine and boder 

 rooms, crew accommodations, stores, 

 equipment eta Port and harbor dues are 

 based on this tonnage. 



1833.3 Displacement tonnage. The actual 

 weight in tons, varying according to whether 

 a vessel is in light or loaded condition. 

 Warships are always spoken of by this fonn 

 of measurement 



1833.4 Deadweight tonnage. The actual 

 weight in tons of cargo, stores, eta, required 

 to bring a vessel down to her load line, from 

 the light condition. Cargo deadweight Is, as 

 its name implies, the actual weight in tons of 

 the cargo when loaded, aa distinct from 

 stores, ballast etc. 



1634 Ullage. The amount by which a tank 

 or vessel lacks being filled. (See also Outage). 



1835 Viscosity. The property of liquids 

 which causes them to resist instantaneoua 

 change of shape, or Instantaneoua 

 rearrangement of their parts, due to internal 

 friction. The resistance which the particles of 

 a liquid offer to a force tending to move them 

 In relation to each other. Viscosity of oils is 

 usually expressed as the number of seconds 

 at a definite temperature required for a 

 standard quantity of oil to flow through a 

 standard apparatus. 



1836 Viscous. Thick, resistance to flow, 

 having a high viscosity. 



1837 Volatile. Evaporates easily.

 resources under the Fishery Conservation 

 and Management Act of 1976).

 any chemicals or other additives as 

 hereinafter defined that may be used to 

 remove oil and remove or neutralize 

 hazardous substances discharges. Any 

 chemical agent or other substance not 

 specifically defined In this schedule will be 

 considered by EPA on a case-by-case basis 

 for use in the removal of oil and hazardous 

 substances discharges. 



2001.3 This Schedule favors development 

 and utilization of sorbents, skimmers, booms 

 and other mechanical control methods to
