Evaluation of Procedures for Hand Blending Fuel Additives

Abstract

This paper details the evaluation of Fuels Technical Letter (FTL), FTL 15-02 (Change 1), for the field blending of additives in commercial jet fuel. The intent of this project is to quantitatively test multiple samples while following the procedures within the FTL to ensure the method spelled out in the FTL is sufficient to create a homogeneously additized fuel. In addition to ASTM D5006 (11) and ASTM D2624 (12) test methods specified in the FTL, ASTM D4176 and IP 564were utilized to determine if the fuel additive droplets had been dispersed into the fuel. The particle count data was reported in accordance to ISO 4406 plus the 30 m channel as established in MIL-STD-3004D with change 1.
