ISO 3648 Aviation Fuels - Test for Estimation of Net Specific Energy

EUROLAB, with its state-of-the-art accredited laboratories and expert team, provides precise and fast testing services within the scope of ISO 3648 testing. Describes a procedure for estimating the net specific energy of aviation fuels from the aniline point, density, and sulfur content. It does not apply to pure hydrocarbons.

ISO 3648 Aviation Fuels - Test for Estimation of Net Specific Energy

The method is purely empirical and is applicable only to liquid hydrocarbon fuels derived from conventional crude oil by normal refining processes that meet the requirements of the specifications for aviation gasoline, or aircraft turbine and jet engine fuels with limited boiling ranges and compositions.

The method is applicable only to liquid hydrocarbon fuels that meet the requirements of the specifications for aviation gasoline, or to aviation turbine fuel, wide-cut aircraft turbine and jet engine fuels. The method is intended to be used as a guideline when an experimentally determined heat of combustion is not available and cannot be made properly and an estimate is satisfactory. For specifications and similar purposes, estimates of the net heat of combustion are not intended to be used as a substitute for empirically determined values.

The estimation of the net heat of combustion of hydrocarbon fuel from the aniline-gravity product can only be verified when the fuel belongs to a well-defined type from which the relationship between heat of combustion and aniline-gravity product is derived from accurate experimental measurements. Even in this case, the possibility of large inaccuracies in the estimates for individual fuels must be acknowledged.
