Investigation of ASTM D 2887Test Method for Use with Aircraft Turbine Engine Fuels.

摘要

Equations for estimating the results of ASTM D 86,Test for Distillation of Petroleum Products,from measurements of ASTM D 2887,Test for Boiling Range Distribution of Petroleum Fractions by Gas Chromatography,are presented. The equations have generated using a step-wise regression analysis method to obtain the greatest reduction in the error sum of squares. Equations are presented for wide-cut fuels only (JP-4and Jet B),kerosene type fuels (JP-5,Jet A,and Jet A-1),and for both wide-cut and kerosene fuels together. An attempt was also made to calculate selected bulk fuel properties using D 2887test data and other measured fuel properties. The API gravity,volume percent aromatics,freezing point,and either Reid vapor pressure or flash point were examined.
