<br />I" <br /> <br />.' <br /> <br />~ <br /> <br />l. <br /> <br /> <br />. . <br /> <br />The SOLAS Conven tion requires that the fuel should have a Flash <br />Point above 60 deg. C, except for emergency use (as in the life- <br />boat) where 43 deg. C and above would be acceptable. <br />If the flash point of the fuel is below the values indicated, the <br />vessel would have contravened Classification Rules and the insur- <br />ance policy would be invalidated. <br /> <br />. Flash Point (PMCC) <br /> <br />e <br /> <br />Calculated Carbon Aromaticity Index <br />(SHEJ;L formula) <br /> <br />This is calculated based on an empirical formula from Shell and is <br />useful as a guide to indicate the ignition quality of the residual fuel. <br /> <br />Other Metals <br /> <br />In addition to the above, if the percentage ash levels exceed the limits <br />for the respective grades as shown in the ISO specifications, additional <br />metals such as iron, calcium, nickel, lead, zinc and magnesium will <br />also be tested. These additional metals are recorded in the FQT <br />database and are reported to the member only if relevant. <br /> <br />.
