Standard Test Method for Determining Filterability of Aviation Turbine Fuel

Importancia y uso:

5.1 This test method is intended for use in the laboratory or field in evaluating aviation turbine fuel cleanliness.

5.2 A change in filtration performance after storage, pretreatment, or commingling can be indicative of changes in fuel condition.

5.3 Relative filterability of fuels may vary, depending on filter porosity and structure, and may not always correlate with results from this test method.

5.4 Causes of poor filterability in industrial/refinery filters include fuel degradation products, contaminants picked up during storage or transfer, incompatibility of commingled fuels, or interaction of the fuel with the filter media. Any of these could correlate with orifice or filter system plugging, or both.
