Determination of the Effect of Pretest Ratings of Jet Fuel Thermal Oxidation Tester Tubes on Post-Test Ratings Using the Tube Deposit Rater.

Abstract

The Jet Fuel Thermal Oxidation Tester (JFTOT) is used by the Air Force to determine the thermal stability of JP-4 and JPTS type fuels. A device called the Tube Deposit Rater (TDR) has been proposed as a means of evaluating the deposits formed on JFTOT tubes. (Author) Concern has existed about the need to account for the pretest condition of the test tubes. The effect of pretest ratings is discussed in the report and a method is proposed for improving results by accounting for the pretest condition of the tubes. (Author)
