Determining Filterability of Aviation Turbine Fuel

NOTE- This method requires the use of the Fcell (Jet) Filter cell in order to meet the reproducibility and repeatability referenced in the Standard.

EMCEE MODEL 1143 Micro Filter Analyzer- self contained, portable, suitable for laboratory and field use.

1. Scope*

1.1 This test method covers a procedure for determining the filterability of aviation turbine fuels (for other middle distillate fuels, see Test Method D6426).

NOTE 1—ASTM specification fuels falling within the scope of this test method are Specifications D1655 and D6615 and the military fuels covered in the military specifications listed in 2.2.

1.2 This test method is not applicable to fuels that contain undissolved water.

1.3 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as the standard. The values given in parentheses are for information only.

1.4 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.
