IS 4639 : Part 2 : 2000 /ISO 1998-2 : 1998 Petroleum Industry - Terminology - Part 2 : Properties and Tests

FOREWORD

This Indian Standard was published in 1968 with a view to eliminate the ambiguity arising from different interpretations of terms used in petroleum trade and industry and to establish a generally recognized terms. Since the industry has progressed manifolds over the years, a need was felt to bring in newer terms. The committee, therefore decided to revise this Indian standard to completely align withISO 1998-2:1998 under the dual numbering system. Accordingly, the title has been changed as ‘Petroleum industry — Terminology : Part 2 Properties and tests’.

It is envisaged to issue this standard in eight different parts, each dealing with a specific aspect. The other parts in this series are as under:

Part 1 Raw materials and products

Part 3 Exploration and production

Part 4 Refining

Part 5 Transport, storage, distribution

Part 6 Measurement

Part 7 Miscellaneous terms

Part 8 General and index
