Jet A-1  Aviation Fuel Specification IS 1571 in India & Its historic Development


 The first Indian Standard IS – 1571 Jet A-1 specification published in 1960  was based on British Ministry of Defence Specification D.E.R.D. 2482/2494,  it covered two grades K-40 and K-50. Since then Nine Revisions have been published till date and latest Revision is now align with  UK DEF STAN 91-91 Issue 7 of 2011- amendment 3, 2015 and also to include the Government of India Defence requirements of Silver Strip corrosion. Assistance has also been derived from ASTM D 1655-15c, Aviation Fuel Quality Requirements for Jointly Operated System (AFQRJOS-Issue 28 March 2015).

The need for International coordination among recognized standard of other countries on the subject is particularly significant for the product of this type since re-fueling of aircraft in different countries is often involved

- Excel Formula-Density Conversion to 15 deg C,  table ASTM 53 B - 1980,    Excel sheet giving the Density 15 deg C figures from given observed Density and observed temperature for petroleum product as derived from ASTM tables 53 B. Density conversion to 15 deg C matches exactly with the ASTM conversion tables 1980. Lists of Android/iOs Apps developed on Petroleum Calculation - see here.      (These apps convert Density/API gravity exactly as per ASTM tables 5a, 5b, 6a, 6b, 23a,23b, 24a,24b, 53a,53b, 54a,54b to standard temperature 15 C,  20 C and 60 F.)   Example:  Observed density is 792 kg/Cu. M and observed temperature is 29 deg C. Corresponding 15 deg C for this set of data comes 802.2  kg/Cu. M Excel Worksheet - green color cells  observed density and observed sample temperature are variables and Red color digits are the answer - density at 15 deg C.  Apps developed on Petroleum Calculations - see here.

Density conversion to any temperature say 20 C, 15 C or any desired temperature from any observed temp Some of the countries like Russian block follow standard temperature 20 deg C as compared to Commonwealth countries which have standard temperature 15 deg C.  The calculator developed for conversion of Density from observed temperature to 20C or 15C or any desired temperature is thus very handy.   It may be noted that the calculator is for finished petroleum products and uses ASTM tables 1952 version for this conversion. For Excel Worksheet you may contact by email to  rjpatelioc2014@gmail.com and specify your clear requirement as per the title of this post.

Lists of Android/iOs Apps developed on Petroleum Calculation - see here.      (These apps convert exactly as per ASTM tables 5a, 5b, 6a, 6b, 23a,23b, 24a,24b, 53a,53b, 54a,54b to standard temperature 15 C,  20 C and 60 F.) One follower from Kiev, Ukraine  has requested the formula for the subject conversion. The post gives a simple way to convert Density of petroleum products from ambient temperature  ( say 15 +/-7  deg C  )  to density at 15 Deg C, in line with ASTM table 53B,  without using these table and in the field with simple calculation. See my earlier post dated 18 Dec 2016, for detail description of the procedure explained there.
