Designation: D 347 – 04

Standard Tables for

Volume and Specific Gravity Correction for Creosote,
Creosote-Coal Tar Solution, and Coal Tar1,2
This standard is issued under the fixed designation D 347; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year of
original adoption or, in the case of revision, the year of last revision. A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. A
superscript epsilon (e) indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.

1. Scope
1.1 These tables have been prepared by the National Insti-
tute of Standards and Technology to meet a demand from the
wood preserving industry for convenient tables for reducing
creosote volumes to the basis of 100°F and of 38°C and for
reducing specific gravity observations to the same temperature.
Tables 1-4 give in parallel columns corrections factors for
creosote, for mixtures of creosote and coal tar (up to 50 % tar)
designated as solution, and for coal tar. They are based on
density determinations made on a selected range of domestic
coke-oven tars.
1.2 Tables 1 and 2 show the volume occupied at 100°F by a
quantity of oil occupying a unit volume at the indicated
temperature; for example, 1 gal of creosote measured at 120°F

These tables are under the jurisdiction of ASTM Committee D07 on Wood and
are the direct responsibility of Subcommittee D07.06 on Treatments for Wood
Products.
Current edition approved August 1, 2004. Published September 2004. Originally
approved in 1932. Last previous edition approved in 1997 as D 347 – 97.

These tables have been adopted as standard by the American Wood Preservers’
Association and by the American Railway Engineering Association; they are the
outcome of a Joint Conference Committee representing these associations and
ASTM.
will have a volume of 0.9921 gal at 100°F; thus, if the volume
of creosote at 120°F equals 10 000 gal, then the volume at
100°F equals 10 000 times 0.9921 or 9921 gal. Likewise, Table
3 provides similar information, but is based upon the volume of
oil at 38°C and correction factors are based on intervals of 1°C.
1.3 Tables 1 and 2 give corrections for observed specific
gravity, which are simply made by adding them to the observed
values for temperatures above 100°F and subtracting them for
temperatures below 100°F. Table 4 provides corrections that
are based upon the volume of oil at 38°C and are based on
intervals of 1°C. Furthermore, since the corrections for tem-
peratures below 38°C are listed as negative numbers, it is
necessary to add the correction, whether positive or negative,
to the observed value in order to obtain the corrected value.
1.4 This standard does not purport to address all of the
safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the
responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appro-
priate safety and health practices and determine the applica-
bility of regulatory limitations prior to use.
