What is colour of Aviation turbine fuel (Jet A-1) normally?


 Aviation turbine fuels are undyed products not like Aviation Gasoline or Motor gasoline which is dyed with artificial colours as per the specification depending upon the respective grades.

Thus, Jet A-1 colour is natural as it come out of crude oil refining and normal colour can be one of the following:

1)    Colourless: There is no colour at all, appears like water colour, it is called colourless or water-white.

2)    Straw/yellow Colour: Sometimes Aviation turbine fuel colour is straw/yellow – mild to little darker straw/yellow.

3)    Light Pink or Blue or Red:  Rarely Aviation turbine fuel colour is having a very light shade of Pink, Blue or Red colour.


How the Aviation turbine is of specific colour either colourless,straw/Yellow or having very light shade of Pink, Blue or Red colour ? -   read the next article.

- 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.
