ASTM WK95672
From Form & Style Guide “11.1 In this section, include a brief description of the essential features of the apparatus and equipment required for the test, and, where they clarify or supplement the text, schematic drawings or photographs.” & “A11.6.2 If the apparatus has to be built, blueprints, plans, etc., should be cited in a footnote in this section as available through ASTM International Headquarters as adjunct material to the standard.” Therefore, D02.14 should not be responsible directly for finding suppliers as 6.1 includes enough detail for any laboratory glassblower. Cleaning Solution is not a difficult item to find. Responsibility for finding suppliers should rest with the user. Section 10.2 stipulates shaking in a straight-line horizontal plane and it is never indicated to return the tube to a vertical position despite making readings without moving the test tube in 10.4. More closely align descriptions of BXX with ASTM D7467. Remove reference to petroleum base with ability to use recycled or renewable products for diesel as long as they meet specification D6751.
