1. Scope
1.1 This standard provides specifications for the manufacture of aviation turbine fuel and synthetic blending components. 1.2 Aviation turbine fuel manufactured to this standard meets the requirements of ASTM International Standard D1655-xx and can be recertified to D1655-xx at any point in the distribution chain. 1.3 This specification defines specific types of aviation turbine fuel that may contain synthesized hydrocarbons for civil use in the operation and certification of aircraft and describes fuels found satisfactory for the operation of aircraft and engines. The specification is intended to be used as a standard in describing the quality of aviation turbine fuels and synthetic blending components at the place of manufacture but can be used to describe the quality of aviation turbine fuels for contractual transfer at all points in the distribution chain from the refinery to the aircraft. 1.4 This specification does not include all fuels satisfactory for aviation turbine engines. Certain equipment or conditions of use may permit a wider, or require a narrower, range of characteristics than is shown by this specification. 1.5 Aviation turbine fuels defined by this specification may be used in applications other than turbine engines that are specifically designed and certified for this fuel. 1.6 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as standard. No other units of measurement are included in this standard.
