(Specification)Standard Specification for Aviation Turbine Fuel Containing Synthesized Hydrocarbons
Standard Specification for Aviation Turbine Fuel Containing Synthesized Hydrocarbons
SCOPE
1.1 This specification covers the manufacture of aviation turbine fuel that consists of conventional and synthetic blending components.
1.2 This specification applies only at the point of batch origination, as follows:
1.2.1 Aviation turbine fuel manufactured, certified, and released to all the requirements of Table 1 of this specification (D7566), meets the requirements of Specification D1655 and shall be regarded as Specification D1655 turbine fuel. Duplicate testing is not necessary; the same data may be used for both D7566 and D1655 compliance. Once the fuel is released to this specification (D7566) the unique requirements of this specification are no longer applicable: any recertification shall be done in accordance with Table 1 of Specification D1655.TABLE 1 Detailed Requirements of Aviation Turbine Fuels Containing Synthesized HydrocarbonsA
