Aviation Fuels

Aviation fuels are a type of kerosene-based fuel used in aircraft engines. There are two main types, Jet A and Jet A-1. Jet A has a higher freeze point than Jet A-1, so a static dissipater additive is added to Jet A-1 fuel to lower its freeze point. ASTM specification D 6615 is the standard specification for civil use of a wide boiling range distillate fuel, while ASTM specification D 6155 is a related specification for Aviation Turbine Fuels that requires many of the same test procedures. The current standard specification for Jet C-1 Aviation Certification Turbine Fuels is ASTM D 7223.

These aviation fuels must be tested for safety, efficiency, and reliability. Properties such as flash point, viscosity, distillation range, and freeze point are all taken into account in order to assess fuel performance. In order to ensure that these fuel standards are met, laboratories must adhere to the exacting standards set forth by ASTM specifications. Fuel testing is conducted using various methods such as distillation, flash point, and freeze point. The results of this testing are then used to determine if the fuel meets the specifications set forth by the ASTM. As the aviation industry continues to evolve, so too do the standards and testing of aviation fuels.
