Learn about the widely used C2 grade kerosene oil specifications BS 2869. It is mainly used in industrial processes.
Also known as regular kerosene or C2 kerosene, C2 grade fuel is a more widely available fuel as compared to C1 kerosene. It is used in industrial processes, such as heating, power generation and manufacturing. It has a low sulphur content and provides relatively cleaner burning, making it suitable for a range of applications in all sectors.
The table below will describe all the physical and chemical specifications of C2-grade fuel.
