2. Scope of application and grade classification
- Scope: This standard gives the raw materials, products, properties, tests and other related terms and corresponding definitions involved in the production, processing and use of petroleum products, as well as indexes to these terms.
- Application: standardized expression of terms relating to raw materials, products, properties and tests involved in the production, processing and use of petroleum products.
- Term classification: divided into three major categories—raw materials and products, properties and tests, and refining and processing.
- Term entry numbering rules (Chapter 2): composed of three groups of digits X.YY.ZZZ; X is the category number (1 raw materials and products, 2 properties and tests, 3 refining and processing); YY is the subclass number; ZZZ is the sequential number.
- Indexing methods (Chapter 3): two kinds, the Hanyu Pinyin index and the English corresponding word (abbreviation) index.
- Raw materials and products category (category number 1) subclass divisions (Chapter 5): 1.05 crude oil and refinery feedstock oil; 1.10 gas products; 1.15 distillate oils, intermediate products and residual oils; 1.20 lubricating oils and related products; 1.25 lubricating greases; 1.30 paraffin waxes and related products; 1.35 petroleum asphalt and related solid products; 1.40 additives; 1.45 others.
- Properties and tests category (category number 2) subclass divisions (Chapter 6): 2.05 general and basic properties and tests; 2.10 properties and tests of gas products; 2.15 properties and tests of fuels, distillate oils and related products; 2.20 properties and tests of lubricating oils and related products; 2.25 properties and tests of lubricating greases; 2.30 properties and tests of paraffin waxes; 2.35 properties and tests of asphalt and other solid products; 2.40 others.
- Refining and processing category (category number 3): the original main text only shows subclass references (such as 3.30.001 cracking, 3.30.002 thermal cracking, 3.30.004 catalytic cracking, 3.30.006 combined cracking, 3.30.007 hydrocracking, 3.30.018 coking); the main text content of Chapter 7 is not provided in the available source.
