What are Characteristics of Jet A-1 Aviation Turbine Fuel Specification ?
What is expected function of Aviation Turbine fuel in aircraft fuel System ? What is composition of Aviation Turbine fuel? what other safety aspects and other characteristics are inbuilt in Aviation Turbine fuel manufactured as per Specifications like Def Stan 091-91 or ASTM D 1655?
Aviation Turbine fuel Jet A or Jet A-1 consist of thousands of C8 - C16 hydrocarbons with traces of Sulphur, Nitrogen, Oxygen and permitted additives. Different batches of Jet A-1 have different composition based on source crude Oil and Refining processes used to produce them.
