ASTM STP 1138 Aviation Fuel: Thermal Stability Requirements

ASTM STP 1138 is offered by IHS as part of an online subscription to the Special Technical Publications Library.

You may also purchase this publication alone from the IHS Standards Store.

Kirklin, PW

This STP contains papers presented at the Aviation Fuel: Thermal Stability Requirements symposium held in June, 1991. The symposium was sponsored by ASTM Committee D-2 on Petroleum Products and Lubricants and Subcommittee J on Aviation Fuels.

Papers presented at the symposium addressed the following issues:

1. The philosophical and technical dilemma of the aviation fuel thermal stability specification from a specification writer’s perspective.
2. The history of aviation fuel thermal stability specifications, the status of our current knowledge of aviation fuel thermal stability, and fuel stability concerns for future commercial supersonic transports.
3. Fuel thermal stability considerations of aviation engine developers.
4. Thermal stability considerations in the manufacture and distribution of aviation fuels.
5. A critical review of ASTM D 3241, the Jet Fuel Thermal Oxidation Tester, or JFTOT test.
6. Current research on aviation fuel thermal stability including test methods that may form a basis for future ASTM thermal stability methods.

This publication is organized in the same manner as the sessions during the symposium. The topic headings are

• Overview
• Aviation Engine Considerations
• Manufacturing and Distribution Considerations
• ASTM D3241, The JFOT Test
• Nonspecification Tests for Aviation Fuel Thermal Stability

Specific topics covered by the papers in this STP include:

• fuel thermal stability
• gravimetric analysis
• insoluble deposits
• thermal deposit quantitative measurement
• interferometry
• high temperature fuel requirements
• commercial supersonic flight
• physiochemical aspects of stability
• specification writer
• tube deposit volume
• fuel composition
• hetero-compounds
• oxidative processes
• recirculation systems
• heat loads
• fuel development
• aviation turbine fuel

Purchase this STP if you are searching for a valuable resource providing a comprehensive overview of aviation fuel thermal stability.
