ASTM D1655 Standard Specification for Aviation Turbine Fuels
9. Report
9.1 The type and number of reports to ensure conformance with the requirements of this specification shall be mutually agreed upon by the seller and the purchaser of the aviation turbine fuel.
9.2 A suggested form for reporting inspection data on aviation turbine fuels is given in Appendix X3.
10. Test Methods
10.1 Determine the requirements enumerated in this specification in accordance with the following ASTM test methods.
10.1.1 Density - Test Method D1298 or D4052.
10.1.2 Distillation - Test Method D86.
10.1.3 Vapor Pressure - Test Method D323 or D5191. Test Method D5191 shall be the referee test method.
10.1.4 Flash Point - Test Method D56 or D3828.
10.1.5 Freezing Point - Test Method D2386, D4305, D5901, or D5972. Test Method D2386 shall be the referee test method.
10.1.6 Viscosity - Test Method D445.
10.1.7 Net Heat of Combustion - Test Method D4529, D3338, or D4809.
10.1.8 Corrosion (Copper Strip) - Test Method D130.
10.1.9 Total Acidity - Test Method D3242.
10.1.10 Sulfur - Test Method D1266, D1552, D2622, D4294, or D5453.
10.1.11 Mercaptan Sulfur - Test Method D3227.
10.1.12 Water Reaction - Test Method D1094.
10.1.13 Existent Gum - Test Method D381.
10.1.14 Thermal Stability - Test Method D3241.
NOTE 1 - Table 1 requires the measurement of thermal stability at a tube temperature of 260°C, but permits a retest at 245°C if the first test fails. This two tier system was developed to resolve a dispute over the equivalence of results by Test Method D3241 compared to Test Method D1660, the original thermal stability method. A more detailed discussion of test conditions is found in X1.3.2.
10.1.15 Aromatics - Test Method D1319.
10.1.16 Smoke Point - Test Method D1322.
10.1.17 Naphthalene Content - Test Method D1840.
10.1.18 Electrical Conductivity - Test Method D2624.
