About This Item
ASTM D7862 is the ASTM standard specification for butanol intended for blending with gasoline for use as automotive spark-ignition engine fuel. It provides a technical basis for describing the fuel material and helping users evaluate whether a butanol blend component is suitable for gasoline blending applications. For suppliers, buyers, and quality teams, this standard supports clearer product definition, more consistent procurement, and more reliable fuel-related decision-making.
Purpose of ASTM D7862
The purpose of ASTM D7862 is to define a specification for butanol used as a gasoline blend component in automotive spark-ignition engine fuel. In practical terms, the standard helps establish a common technical reference for material quality and product consistency. It is used to support specification-based purchasing, testing, and compliance workflows where butanol is intended for blending into gasoline rather than for unrelated chemical uses. This makes the standard valuable for controlled fuel formulation and evaluation.
Common use cases of ASTM D7862
ASTM D7862 is commonly used in fuel blending, product qualification, and incoming material review for butanol intended for gasoline applications. It may be referenced by refiners, fuel suppliers, laboratories, and procurement teams that need to confirm a butanol product aligns with specification requirements before blending or distribution. The standard is also useful in quality control programs that compare supplied material against an agreed technical document for automotive spark-ignition engine fuel use.
Why ASTM D7862 matters
This standard matters because fuel blending depends on consistency, traceability, and clear acceptance criteria. ASTM D7862 helps reduce ambiguity when evaluating butanol for gasoline blending, which can support better quality control and lower the risk of using unsuitable material. It also assists with standardized testing and specification-based purchasing, making it easier for organizations to compare products and manage compliance in fuel-related operations. For ASTM D7862 users, that clarity can improve efficiency across the supply chain.
