How You Will Benefit
This class focuses on how specifications are used to control the quality of aviation fuels, and why they affect product performance and availability. It emphasizes practical applications, and ASTM's role in developing specifications and methods, while highlighting past and current problems in a participatory atmosphere. Methods of testing and manufacturing aviation fuels and transportation systems are explained and demonstrated. Interaction of aviation fuels with aircraft engines and ground equipment is also stressed.
Attention: Professional Engineers
If your state has a continuing education requirement for license renewal, ASTM training courses and ASTM membership can help you meet that requirement.

About the Instructor
ROGER ORGAN, aviation consultant, has been involved in fuels research and technical service for over 40 years. He recently retired from Chevron Products Technology. During his career, he was responsible for fuel specifications, quality procedures, and standards including aviation fuels. His responsibilities for over 35 years included technical management and technical services for supplying all fuel products to applications through out Africa and Asia including jet fuel for commercial airlines, military, and aviation consumers. More recently he has had global responsibility in Chevron for New and Emerging Fuels
Organ has been a member of ASTM for over 30 years, and was the Chairman of the Aviation Fuels Combustion Section of Subcommittee J and the D2 voting member for Caltex Petroleum Corporation. He has been active in other industry groups such as API, SAE, CRC, EI (IP). He holds B.Sc. degree in Chemical Engineering from the University of Newcastle Upon Tyne UK.
About ASTM and Committee D02
Organized in 1898, ASTM is one of the world's largest voluntary standards development organizations. ASTM standards have grown to be among the world's most widely used and accepted documents. The 82-volume Annual Book of ASTM Standards (available on CD ROM) contain 12,000 standards written by 34,000 members on our 140 technical committees. Committee D02 on Petroleum Products and Lubricants developed the standards used in this course. For more information, contact David Bradley at (610) 832-9681 or go to our D02 technical committee page.
