Tech/Engineering - Petroleum Eng/Sci | | German term or phrase: DKk | From a description of a trial experiment in a reactor, involving slurry oil and domestic refuse and catalysts:
Vergleicht man diese Mitteldestillate ...jedoch mit Norm-*DKk* für das ein Siedebereich von 150 – 400 °C charakteristisch ist, so zeigt sich, dass in keinem der Destillate oberhalb 350 °C noch Produkt anfällt – das Umwandlungsprodukt ist somit sehr leicht, was sich auch in den gemessenen Dichten widerspiegelt, die im Bereich von 832 bis 862 kg/m3 lagen .
DK is diesel fuel , but I wonder what the small 'k' is for. |

| | English translation:Dieselkraftstoffe | Explanation:
the "k" denotes the plural - as in pp., etc.
Quite unusal for German, but the only thing that makes sense |
