"Other Products" includes every item in the

refinery output slate except motor gasoline, distillate,
residual, kerosene-based and naphtha-based jet fuels, petro-
chemical feedstocks, and liquefied gases. The items
included within other products are asphalt, aviation
gasoline, ethane, kerosene, road oil, special naphtha
lubricants, still gas, wax, coke and miscellaneous products.

(a) Asphalt

The definition includes crude asphalt as well as finished products such as: cements, fluxes, the asphalt content of emulsions (exclusive of water), and petroleum distillates blended with asphalt to make cutback asphalts. The conversion factor is 5.5 barrels of 42 gallons each per short ton.

(b) Aviation Gasoline

All special grades of gasoline for use in aviation reciprocating engines, as given in ASTM Specification D 910. Includes all refinery products within the gasoline range that are to be marketed straight or in blends as aviation gasoline without further processing, i.e., any refinery operation except mechanical blending. Also includes finished components in the gasoline range which will be used for blending or compounding into aviation gasoline.

(c) Ethane and/or Ethylene

Ethane is a normally gaseous paraffinic compound (C2H6). Ethylene is an olefinic hydrocarbon (C4H4) recovered from refinery processes.

(d) Keros ene

A petroleum distillate in the 300°F. to 550°F. boiling range and generally having a flashpoint higher than 100°F. by ASTM Method D 56, a gravity ranging from 400 to 460 API, and a burning point in the range of 150°F. to 175°F. It is a clean burning product suitable for use as an illuminant when burned in wick lamps. Kerosene is often used as range oil.

(e) Road Oil

Any heavy petroleum oil, including residual asphaltic oils used as a dust palliative and surface treatment of roads and highways. It is generally produced in six grades from 0, the most liquid, to 5, the most viscous.

(f) Special Naphthas

All finished products within the gasoline range, specially refined to specified flashpoint and boiling range, for use as paint thinners, cleaners, solvents, etc., but not to be marketed as motor gasoline, aviation gasoline, or used as petrochemical feedstocks.

(g) Lubricating Oils

Includes all grades of lubricating oils from spindle oil to cylinder oil and those used in grease. The three categories for reporting follow:

(h) Bright Stock

Refined, high-viscosity lubricating oil base stock usually made from a residium by suitable treatment, such as deasphalting, a combination of acid treatment, or solvent extraction, with dewaxing or clay finishing.

(i) Neutral

A distillate lubricating oil base stock with viscosity usually not above 550 SSU at 100oF., prepared by suitable treatment such as hydrofining, acid treatment, or solvent extraction with dewaxing, usually clay finished.

(j) Other

A lubricating oil base stock used in finished lubricating oils and grease including black, coastal, and red oils.

(k) Still Gas (Refinery Gas)

Any form or mixture of gas produced in refineries by cracking, reforming and other processes, the principal constituents of which are methane, ethane, ethylene, butanes, butylene, propane, propylene, etc.
