Avgas and Avtur Laboratory Testing
The quality of flight fuel is one of the most important factors in supporting the safety, reliability and operational efficiency of the aviation industry. Each type of fuel aircraft has characteristics of physics and chemistry and quality requirements that should be met before being used in flight activities.
Through the service of Aviation Fuel Testing, laboratory testing is done to evaluate the characteristics and quality of flight fuel, both Aviation Gasoline (Avgas) and Aviation Turbine Fuel (Avtur / Jet A-1). These analyses include important parameters such as density, discipline, flash point, freezing point, viscosity, sulfur content, and other characteristics that correspond to the type of fuel and the standard of current testing.
As a company that moves in the field Oil & Gas Laboratory Testing Services, PT Hidea Core supports the need for testing and the characterization of petroleum for industrial sector. Through the approach of laboratory analysis adjusted to customer technical needs, testing Aviation Fuel could be an important part of the quality control program and the flight fuel evaluation quality.
Aviation Fuel Testing for Flight Industry
For airline companies, fuel suppliers, petroleum distributors, as well as storage facilities, fuel quality testing is an important part of maintaining the product specifications. Aviation Fuel Testing services provide technical support through some of the following aspects:
- Fuel Quality Verification
Making sure the characteristics of physics and chemistry flight fuel are evaluated based on its relevant parameters and specs. The test results can be used as support data in the fuel quality check process. - Contamination Control
Support water contamination identification, particulates, and other materials that potentially affect fuel quality during storage, distribution and handling. - Fuel Performance Evaluation
Giving information about the characteristics of volatile, arson, viscosity, and thermal properties of fuel related to the operational needs of the aircraft engine. - Specification
Provides analytic data as an evaluation of the quality fuel characteristic to the specified standard, such as ASTM D910 for Aviation Gasoline and ASTM D1655 for Aviation Turbine Fuel. - Quality Control & Operation Reliability
Support fuel quality control programs through relevant lab parameters for suppliers, distributors, and aviation industries.
Aviation Fuel Test Parameters Specification
The Aviation Fuel test covers different parameters according to characteristics and fuel types. Generally speaking, testing is divided into two major categories, which is Aviation Gasoline and Aviation Turbine Fuel.
A. Aviation Gasoline (Avgas) Testing
Aviation Gasoline (Avgas) It's the fuel used on a piston engine. His quality tests refer to the specs ASTM D910 has to do with parameters related to arson, volatile, stability, and chemical properties of fuel.
| Testing Parameters | Analysis Method |
|---|---|
| Octane Number Motor | ASTM D2700 |
| Aviation Lean Rating | ASTM D2700 |
| Supercharge Performance Number | ASTM D909 |
| Tetraethyl Lead (TEL) | ASTM D5059 |
| Color | ASTM D2392 |
| Density | ASTM D4052 / ASTM D1298 |
| System | ASTM D86 |
| Vapor Pressure | ASTM D323 / ASTM D5191 |
| Freezing Point | ASTM D2386 |
| Sulfur Content | ASTM D2622 / ASTM D1266 |
| Net Heat of Combustion | ASTM D3338 / ASTM D4529 |
| Copper Corrosion | ASTM D130 |
| Oxygen Stability | ASTM D873 |
| Water Reaction | ASTM D1094 |
| Electric Conductivation | ASTM D2624 |
B. Aviation Turbine Fuel
Aviation Turbine Fuel (Avtur) is fuel for turbines, including Jet A and Jet A-1.
| Testing Parameters | Analysis Method |
|---|---|
| Appearance | Visual Examination |
| Density | ASTM D4052 / ASTM D1298 |
| System | ASTM D86 |
| Flash Point | ASTM D56 |
| Freezing Point | ASTM D2386 / ASTM D5972 |
| Kinematic Vistolity | ASTM D445 |
| Sulfur Content | ASTM D4294 / ASTM D5453 |
| Copper Corrosion | ASTM D130 |
| Smoke Point | ASTM D1322 |
| Arotics Content | ASTM D1319 |
| Total Acidity | ASTM D3242 |
| Existen Gum | ASTM D381 |
| Micro@@ | ASTM D3948 |
| Particle Contamination | ASTM D5452 / ASTM D2276 |
| Electric Conductivation | ASTM D2624 |
The selection of parameters and testing methods needs to be adjusted to fuel types, specifications, as well as the purpose of the check. Not all the parameters above are mandatory for any analysis needs.
Standard Test of Aviation Fuel
In order to maintain an analysis match with the needs of the airline, the fuel testing refers to international standards that regulate quality requirements and test methods.
- ASTM D910 - Standard Specification for Leaded Aviation Gamoines
Standard specs for the Aviation Gamoline used on a piston machine, including the terms of characteristics and quality of fuel. - ASTM D1655 - Standard Specification for Aviation Turbine Fuels
Standard specs for turbine engine fuel, including jet A and jet A-1. - ASTM Test Method
The ASTM test method was used to determine the characteristics of physics and chemical fuels, such as density, distillation, flash points, freezing point, visibility, sulfur, and other parameters.
The use of methods should consider the valid standard editions, the type of samples, as well as technical requirements set by customers or product specifications.
Space Scope Application Aviation Fuel Testing
Test Service Aviation Fuel Laboratory Testing has an important role in supporting fuel quality control in the various stages of the flight industry supply chain, among other things:
- Aviation Fuel Suppliers - Support fuel quality checks before distribution process to users.
- Fuel Storage & Distribution - Helps evaluate fuel quality during storage and distribution, including contamination checks.
- Fuel Operations Airport - Supports the quality control activities of fuel being channeled for flight operational needs.
- Petroleum & Oil Trading Companies - Provides data analysis as a supporting quality evaluation of petroleum products in trade activities.
- Quality Asurance & Quality Control (QA / QC) - Support fuel quality verification based on specified parameters and specifications.
