Determination of Selected Distillate Blending Solvents in Simple and Complex Aircraft Fuel Matrices Via Glass Capillary Gas Chromatography.

Abstract

A study was initiated to accurately determine the volume percent of various hydrocarbon distillate solvents present in blends with aircraft jet fuels JP-4 and JP-8. These modified fuels were an integral part of a combustion program to elucidate the effect altered fuel properties had on selected combustion parameters. A method of analysis was desired to check the accuracy of both in-house and contractual blending work. The effort was further expanded to even determine the amount of JP-4 present in the event of gross cross-contamination. (Author)
