IP 323

ISO 6249

D7566

DEF STAN 91-091

 

Summary

The ASTM D3241 / IP 323 Thermal Stability test is one of the most important tests for the jet fuel quality. This test method was inherently limited due to the subjectivity in the color standard for tube deposit rating

 

Recently advanced testing metrics (called metrological method) for quantifying the thermal stability characteristics of jet fuels was declared the referee technique by jet fuel specification bodies.

 

This new approach highlighted the weaknesses of the existing thermal jet fuel oxidation test rigs. By precisely mapping the thermal oxidation deposit on the surface of the aluminum tube, it became possible to identify issues with existing test rigs that were undetectable with the visual (VTR) rating.

 

Based on these finding, AD Systems developed a new jet fuel thermal oxidation test rig (TO10) that ensures perfect fuel preparation, perfect fuel flow control, a perfect heater tube temperature profile and perfect thermal deposit quantification with the Deposit Rater - DR10.

 

 

Methods 

For the development of this innovative instrument, all the parameters influencing the accuracy of the D3241 / IP323 test method have been identified. For each of these parameters an innovative and reliable solution has been developed. This very successful apparatus is unmatched in the market

 

The preparation of the test is simplified. No tools are needed for assembly and the heating tube mounting. An extremely intuitive teaching software makes it possible to very quickly initiate a test and if necessary to follow step by step its progress.
